| Anyone think it would be better to pull the plug entirely rather than rebrand yet again in Medway?
To all intents & purposes the club would be dead anyway.

So are you telling us that is is definitely Medway, do you know something we don't?

| Err ... that's not what I said.
I was simply asking who would prefer death before dishonour?

| A move to Gillingham would be both death of the club and dishonour to the fans

| I'm sure many of us would like to own a Rugby league side, it would be much more fun than a train set and bring pleasure to thousands over many years (details from Gutterfax)
When my income goes down after my retirement would I give up on my club or scale down to a more modest outfit nearer to where I live. Hope people would say good luck to me in my new venture.

What is the point then of asking a question that is just speculation, we seem to have thread after thread the same! glass half empty approach?

| I asked a question. Eitheranswer it or ignore it. No need to prevaricate about it.

| Cannot see the Club surviving with that move. Thinking of the players........if they keep the current training grounds.....i.e. Roehampton and Feltham, and then bus them out for home fixtures.......then possibly.....if not........then the hope that both the 1st team squad and the youth players will travel to East Kent at least 3 times a week for training just isn't a realistic one.........madness I tell ya

| I'm definitely glass half full.
I think it's brilliant that if we lose by less than 62 on Sunday we won't be bottom of the league.

Did the notion that they would train somewhere else nearer where they'd be based pop into your head. And that players would relocate like the ones that did from Charlton to Stoop to Charlton etc.

I travel more than that each day to and from work and it is another contributor of why I will not travel that far at weekends apart from the fact it will no long be LONDON Broncos. Another day of being on the road and costing a fortune in petrol holds no appeal for me. I want to go within a reasonable distance and watch a live game of RL but also have time in the day to do other mundane things at home

If the Broncos go to Kent, I hope a lot will follow me to support the LONDON Skolars in the Championship (hopefully) in 2014!

| Moving to Kent would also cut in half the player pool. Youngsters from Medway, South London, Greenwich and possibly East London would be okay, but none of the kids from Hemel, St Albans, etc would travel all the way down to Gillingham three times a week for training and games. And kids from Wests and Elmbridge would struggle too.
And that's apart from losing the majority of current supporters.
