It's not funny at all. It's sad. But to answer your query, the reason that some threads end up like this is because I am more often than not, very negative about the club and rather than put me on an ignore list, idiots (personal insult quote fulfilled) like you try and score points....like your incorrect assertion about the estate across the railway tracks from the ground that nobody would have to know was there and certainly wouldn't need to cross to get to the venue being "one of the worst" in West London. You totally fail to acknowledge you were wrong and instead we end up with a dozen pages of .

The only other topic on the front page of this forum where there is such a disagreement is the one about Joe Grima......the bloke with 2 wins to his name in competitive games who was a crap coach, but who you want to applaud because a player will talk to you after a game



So no, lots of threads don't end up like this one....just the ones where you question my opinion and then in both instances of late, use my location in NZ as your only counter the facts laid out for you.

HTH....

What the hell are you going on about? Have you suddenly become some forum Grand master? I would suggest you post before drinking pints of Old Rosie.

No one is blaming GF for the demise of the club. We all know (Because GF tells us at every opportunity) its been badly managed from the top down, particularly Hughes seemingly lacking business acumen and strategy and a couple of CEO's who just weren't up to the job. You could also throw in the poor managerial appointments of Powell and Rea. (& Joey). I still believe if we had appointed Michael McGuire instead of Rob Powell this club would be in super league but that's another argument.

The gripe with GF is that he knows nothing about Rugby league. He works in marketing or similar and takes every thread there because thats his comfort zone and its very repetitive because the information he contributes is the same, post in post out. Sometimes it good to talk rugby league rather than attendances. Maybe thats just my view unlike you Grand master I wont be calling anyone pathetic.

GF is a kn0b

who wears skinny jeans and Oxblood doc Martins!

Really? I had no idea that a BA or MA in RL was required to be a fan of the game. I was under the illusion that the basic premise of the game is to create space by running often rehed plays, pulling defenders left/right/out of position and creating overlaps. That said, in recent years the kick to the corner on the 5th has become more common and as a result wingers are bigger than they were back in the 80's. Forwards are more similar in size with 2nd rowers and loose forwards offering more creativity with the ball in hand, whilst Props (depending on the side under scrutiny) are still designed to such defenders in.

As for Gutterfax and "every thread" being about marketing, you're talking rubbish. As for this thread, the premise that we are moving to a park ground does invite the comments that marketing the club would well have stopped this rot, whilst there are plenty of other threads on this forum that is marketing free. The negativity thread being one of them



I believe his DM's are actually Cherry Reds......a slightly less foreboding shade than Ox Blood.

Hope your day ended better than it started W-Q.....you were a tad grumpy first thing

There we go no mention of defence GF which proves my point. You know nothing



I note no mention of the skinny jeans



Anyway more importantly how much will the Eagles game be costing Hughes?

It seems the Ealing 3G pitch is a big appeal as all of the club's teams will be able to use it, and back to curtain raisers.

Reasons for Ealing are that :
Barnet were given cash to make sure we had a venue to survive. There was never a future at the Hive.

We need to move to consolidate the entire club in one place. We are treated like an away team at the Hive.

The club needs to generate some money as we don't at the Hive.

How many home grounds is that now? 25? 30? I'd say it's becoming a joke but that would be ten to fifteen years too late.

The lack of content or thought for a supporter base that has been incredibly loyal and dragged around each corner of the Capital, is deplorable. It's very sad to see people saying this is the last tether for them but after being treated the way they have over the years, it's somewhat understandable.

As for a community based, fan owned club. Though the idea is good, what are the chances of the numbers being both interested and willing to part with their cash to fund such a club? It will not come cheap and though I'm hazarding a guess, I can't see the funds being put up long term.

It will be interesting to see what they do with Bushey, as they have spent a fair bit on it. Maybe they will train there the majority of the week, Ealing for a day or two. I guess the players will be located around Barnet, and not sure upheaval would be appropriate.

I was led to believe everything will move to west London.

I don't see any reason the training would move from bushey.

I understand it is supposed to be lock stock and barrel
