Sunbury is only a training ground, they play their home games at Brentford. Would be great for me if Broncos played in Sunbury, the training facilities are only 15 minutes walk away.

I thought London Scottish were off to Esher?
Maybe that's since changed.
London Scottish world has been all over the place recently.
Withdrew from the league as they had no money.
Rejoined the league and are getting whupped most weeks.
Now thinking of joining the Scottish league.
Next week, who knows?

Funny you should mention this. Look what I've just found.

| Now that the RFU have announced that both Doncaster & Ealing have failed to meet the minimum standards criteria so will not be promoted at end of season. Whether that would make Ealing more open to deal with us who knows.

I played there in the 80s......back when I were a lad. At the time I ran a boozer in the city.....not an easy trip.

Makes it much more likely they'd be open to a Broncos return. Assuming the club still exists in 2023.
That article also scotches the Ealing to Loftus Rd idea, which has been floating around on forums for a couple of years without any evidence. It never made sense to me. I'm a QPR fan and tbh the pitch struggles at the best of times, and we're a team that plays on the deck, so there'd be uproar at 30 fat blokes rolling around on it through the winter. We had Wasps there for a bit 25 years ago and it was a poor relationship - they also stole our training ground but that's another matter.

| BUMP:
If the "rumoured" gate of between 750-900 for Bradford is correct, then this surely must spell the end for this disastrous move south of the River and highlight the need to discuss moving back to Ealing.
Regardless of the expense of the various grounds we know rent, the idea of a few hundred rattling around a 10k stadium, watching a relegation battle unfold is surely seen now as insanity?
The whole move was managed terribly and yet the club are insisting on playing in Dons colours to try and garner favour rather than playing in our proper colours. There is no attempt to market the game other than to existing fans, no game day experience
no feeling that the club know what is happening from day to day.
Surely Hughes, who has alluded to 4 more years after this, can see that anything other than cloth cutting and hard work back at Ealing is key to having any chance of building to even half his 5k figure. 1,350 is the current average after 4 games (if we take 900 as correct). This includes hundreds of free tickets and discounted offers to curious dons fans and we started discounting after just 2 games into this new dawn.....so the club are aware they have f%$&*d up...now they just need to admit it and get the side back to West London ASAP.

| An unnecessary move, executed badly. Surely there can't be anyone left who thinks Hughes is the saviour of the Broncos.
