Planning application to permit Broncos to play there is going in.
Dons are seeking fan approval to share. Strongly recommend a yes vote.
Broncos won't play there until at least mid July
Attendances will be restricted until at least August.
10 year deal with break clauses on both sides.
Dons expect to earn £200k - £500k p.a To put that into perspective I think the central funding this year is £300k.

| Very significant!
I can understand the Dons not wanting someone else to be first to play at their new ground - so the big question is where are we going to be playing from later this month until mid July?

| Rosslyn Park is my guess. Richmond are about to start playing again, Rosslyn Park aren't I believe. As such, their ground would be easier to confirm for all required dates.
Anyone know which coach company Keighley use? Perhaps they can tell us...

Call for Hercule Poirot!
Sounds a little expensive to me as we are only getting a surface to play on but what do I know? Nowt. ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif)

| We could play at Richmond still. They only have 10 games this season, so that 5 home. London Scottish have moved out and are now sharing with Esher until their new ground is built. I can imagine RAA would be grateful for the revenue from us.
200-500K, I think that is dependant on if we are in SL

| You may be right Honkytonk but I read it £200k in Championship & maybe £500k in SL. Either way that seems a lot of money for Broncos to give up if a tsunami of new fans doesn't materialise.

| David Hughes is getting turned over again. In all likelihood this may well be the last time it happens.

| Interesting to read in the dons statement that commission on tickets is an income stream. Maybe that explains the walk up price increase? Given the timeframes here it makes me wonder why Ealing isn't being used this year, or for most of this year. Any info on parking at Rosslyn Park or Richmond gratefully received!

| question is if we play at Rosslyn Park will it still be 25gbp for walkups? Not sure the squad is good enough to justify spending 25gbp?

| The club didn't state which ground those prices were for, just that they were the 2021 prices. As such, I'd expect them to apply at whichever ground( s) is/are used before the probable shift to Wimbledon.

Not sure about Rosslyn Park, but Richmond has a large car park just the other side of the A316 and some onsite parking.

| Rosslyn Park is bounded on 2 sides by South Circular & Roehampton Lane so no parking there & Priory Lane entry to Richmond Park is on a 3rd side. No idea about street parking in Roehampton or the other side of A205.

| Beginning to sound like a Sherlock Holmes mystery,
London Broncos & the hard to park grounds.
