Quote: northernbloke "What would folk on here have preffered? Stayed at trailfinders from the off and not bid for a SL place.
Or do what we did?
Its irrelevant now that wimbledon is delayed. But had we not made the plan to move then we could not have even made a bid to compete for the SL slot. If that had been the case then would that have been acceptable?
So no its not missing the point at all'"


You don't get it do you. Negotiations should have started 12 months ago. No announcements should have been made until a contract was signed. A Fall back plan should have been in place. Its simple business.

The website being out of date, crashing....the night before the season starts should tell you something.

Its shambolic nothing less.

Lemmings don't jump over the edge of anything. Walt Disney invented that "fact".

And I don't think[i orangeman [/iis GF either. Would he stoop so low as a "word cloud"? Hold on though, "word cloud" on a roundabout? He just might.

Benny, wasnt me that said it! I didnt use it as an analogy either. I was merely commenting on the suggestion that it is relevant to anything to do with supporting a rugby team. Reality or disney view

Quote: Benny Profane ".
How many posts have you read on this site?'"

Why? Does this site represent the overall attitude of Broncos fans? If so, then I'd suspect that the huge reduction in the number of posters and posts over the years points to a huge reduction in numbers of actual fans. A reduction that is not solely attributable to results on the park, but instead influenced by the fiasco of the shenanigans at the Club since say 2007?
As it is. I've read a great many posts on here and as usual, it seems that whilst many posters (those that are left) moan, they still attend games, buy shirts and therefore support the decision made by the club.
Personally. When the question was asked back in 2013 about where would we be without our benefactor, I wish we'd found out. Probably in the lower echelons of the game, but the Skolars would have picked up some fans. Instead, we've wasted millions bouncing from the Hive to Ealing to wherever for no gain.
Another move for no apparent reason other than to give someone at the club purpose. Reminds me of a bloke that once played cricket for Zimbabwe.
EDIT: To be clear. I saw no benefit in the name change back to the Broncos, not the move from the Stoop. I believe the Hive was as close to the Abyss as we've been since 2005 and whilst I freely admit to being scathing of the Trailfinders set up, I see no profitability/sustainability for the club in either Superleague or the Championship without a core of some 3,500 fans and I see no chance of that happening by moving to South West London and away from a set up that seems to have gone from "Brilliant to Bullcrap" in the space of 5 years, but whilst seeing a small growth in gate numbers.....albeit a very small growth but not a decline as has been the case in all but one of the clubs previous homes.

We! Have not wasted a penny! We are the fans all it has cost us is the gate fee every home game.
As for the 3500 figure you quote, why is moving to wimbedon going to make it any less likely that we could achieve that as opposed to staying where we are? At least wimbledon can take that number.
Barnet was a particular low, move to trailfinders critisised by lots, but it gave the club some stability. But as proven SL were not willing to accept it as a suitable ground, thats despite the stand that could never be built, so another move had to be made.
Its not another move for no apparent reason, its a move that shows the club at least has some ambition of playing in SL.
As for costs of the ground, without knowing the new deal at trailfinders we cant compaire really

No offence meant, just quoted the last post mentioning it.

I agree with just about everything you're saying, except when you criticise the few remaining fans.

There are people here from the Fulham days (not me). They've seen good management, (mainly) bad management, and even management by the RFL because we had no management of our own. And they probably disagree with just about every management decision since Barry Maranta left (I know I do). But they still turn up. That's to be admired, not chastised.

Hold on, posting at 4.35am? Blimey, it is Gutterfax after all.
