Perry wrote [OH NO! They aren't changing anything in the slightest.] And in a nutshell that is the problem. Nothing is changing it is the same year in year out. No advancement, no passion, no fire in the belly, no owner to listen to what the club needs. That is why fans are moving away and this last ditch attempt could be the final nail in the coffin. What a stupid move. I appreciate the club needs money to run and DH provides that unquestionably but he also needs knowledgeable sports people around him who know how to run a sports club and who are listened to by the owner -DH is an intelligent man of which there is no doubt you don't attain such a living and fortune without hard work and intelligence but he is a very blinked man when it comes to listening to informative sports club people and understanding a clubs needs. Perry - you, Mickey1234, Jaybs, cranewife etc can constantly chip away at people like GF, COwgirl, Wire Quin but they know what they are talking about. They understand what is needed. They understand what is going to work and they like a vast number of others on this site and at games understand that Ealing is too far backwards for to sit comfortably with them and hence I fear an even bigger drop in fans. Another ground surely could have been found. One which would show we are not rich but has the basics like training area, decent pitch a stand and a club house. We should have been able to buy into another smaller club and worked with them. LB fans have been brilliant over the years and done many things to help the club like cleaning up after games to manning the ticket office, to SAGS and supporters clubs but this is a step too far. This season will be our last as a club with a future for a very long time. Next season may even be the last we only get 350 fans now so what is going to happen next season. And before you chip away at me to ask do I go to games the answer is yes I do and travel many hours to do so and I also do occasional away games.

Aspuoea feel free to toddle off and do that then mate, some of us actually like watching rugby league so personally can't see the appeal of option 3.
Not sure if you realise it's your choice to watch or not.

Interesting that Trailfinders have a number of secondary pitches which may well meet our needs if we continue to attract fewer fans than Championship 1 clubs.

Aspuoea, your option three is no option for me. Like Mickey I too enjoy watching Rugby League. It is my choice and I will continue to do so until such time as I decide not to..

So you go and join The Ramblers Association or get a caravan if you want to. I will continue to do what I choose to do.

Slightly OT, sorry, but interesting that 100 miles or so to the west, one of our many former CEOs is still showing plenty of ambitionLionelHurst ‏@hurstlhurst 17h17 hours ago
