I guess it's been mentioned before, but with Broncos going well at the moment, it's relevant. In the event of promotion to Super League what are the implications with regard to ground/safety etc.?

The ground is massively short of SL standards, so far that an exemption to play there seems unlikely. When Broncos moved in it was stated the ground could be upgraded to SL standard if required. We'll know more if it becomes relevant I guess.

Note that Ealing RU are looking at the opportunities that may exist for them to try and push for RU Premiership status so the ground may be on their to do list. A friend who lives nearby is of the opinion he redevelopment work begining in the area may offer opportunities. Clearly that is medium to long term and unlikely to make much difference by the 2018 RL season.

An additional problem would be that with a ground move (even a temporary one while Trailfinders was upgraded) any potential landlord would know that we were desperate and charge accordingly.

Not really there are plenty of sports clubs that would welcome further income without ripping of a potential partner/tenant. Probably every soccer club outside the top flight for example

Why did we end up at trailfinders in the first place? No one else in London wanted us.
So moving even temporary would not be straight fwd

I understand that there were other options when the club looked to relocate. Trailfinders it was felt was the best.

Of course there were options in and around London.

Not what I heard

I believe that the club are taking the idea that we could win promotion seriously.

Agree, with options being considered

If by any chance we could pull it off, I really do hope that we can find a way to work with Ealing and bring trailfinders up to an acceptable standard. I really do think being at Ealing has played a massive part in the club getting to this position where we can even think about it.

As I understand Ealing would be the favored option, however the club are not putting all its eggs in one basket. So other ground are being looked at closely.
Ealing themselves have aspiration to get promoted themselves, which can only be a positive where ground improvement is concerned.

It doesn't take much to build a good temporary stand. The East Stand at Blackpool is a temporary structure built for their one season (2011) in the Premier League, with the intention to make it permanent if they stayed up.

The Stoop has temp stands at each end. The issue would be parking, increased numbers etc etc

As others have said, if we do get promotion, let's hope we can stay at Ealing.
