Brilliant endorsement of Gus's negotiating skills there



I mean honestly, is there a less reassuring news story that could possibly have been released?

What a farce.

That story will have come from Ian Ramsdale who was at The Hive yesterday, mainly for round ball related stuff. (Apparently to Chileans are using it as a training facility before their game with England this Friday.)

It's hardly news but AFAIK, it's the first "official" confirmation that we're considering The Hive.

So that announcement is the fruits of 12 months negotiation i.e. LB have secured nothing.......absolutely ridiculous state of affairs. No ground, no team, no future......just get it over with Broncos and throw the towel in.

Couldn't make it up really.

I'm getting close to downloading an Oxford RL season ticket form. Making a wild assumption, that London exist next year, do they actually want any fans to turn up?

I read that story. The Barnet guy comes across as a bit of a knob, tbh. Good to see that if Broncos do survive and move in there, they'll be maintaining the high standard of administration and management they've been used to.

Just could not believe the BBC article when I read it this afternoon, all this after how many months?

Yes. He sounds like a typical chairman of a lower/non league football club.

It looks like a nice stand! As for the rest "the mole has laboured and brought forth a flea"!

Sounds like the Hive are not short of offers. What a **** up from the Broncos.

As they say RH, it takes one to know one !

Absolute shambles - Just make a decision Gus!!

I thought this guy was going to be the new owner/co-owner. He talks as if he is just waiting to see who wants to come on board as a tenant!? Are those 'in the know' aware of any other investor in the wings?

Oohhh does not sound promising does it!

All I know is that:

1. DH will be an investor in the club in 2014 (exactly to what extent, I do not know but it will be less than previous years) and that the "new" investor wants assurances regarding what they are investing in.

2. There are players who have been identified and spoken to regarding 2014, but if we do not get the green light on both of the requested allowances, then we will enter 2014 with a substandard squad.

3. We have identified a new ground, but are unable to commit to it until we have an answer to the relegation question.

What I can assume is that The RFL seem quite content to drag this out as if we do fold, they will have one less thing to worry about, but they do run the risk of any goodwill gained in the media from this RLWC being torched if we implode. I do not know if the guy at Barnet is this new investor, but either way, the inability of the RFL to make a definitive decision either way will probably administer the lethal injection to London Broncos as a SL club past 2014.

We need a decision from the RFL now.....they were happy to meet and OK the Bradford board....maybe we are not asking the right people the right questions?
