Our biggest ally in our move to Cherry Reds is gone. The coach and a vocal group of the fans are blaming us for them being bang average and we've gone 2200, 1,400, 500.....in the usual predictable manner in terms of fans with fewer than 1/4 of those paying full price.
Question is "Where can we move to next/Who would want us"?
It's looking like League 1 is a real possibility in 2023, so we would only expect 500 or so as fans.
Would Richmond RUFC work?
Would Trailfinders have us back?
Serious question.......where will the broncos go?

| Richmond Athletic Ground would have good enough facilities for L1. However, Richmond already share it with London Scottish.

| As someone who watched Prescot and Oxford this is all begining to feel horribly familiar. Sadly I'm not sure there is a next place. I fear the club is now in such a hole there may not be any way out. I hope I am wrong.

| Aaaah Chiswick. Crumbling stand, muddy mound to stand on & a team where you never knew who would turn up next from down under to play. But we were a club then where owners & supporters worked together to move Fulham RL forward. In stark contrast to the club Hughes has reduced us to.

| London Irish ground at Sunbury would be more than good enough.

| If they don't get promoted Ealing would most likely take us back. It's an easy fit for them, no real work to do just take the hourly payments and the bar takings, and that's about it. They can easily fit us in around their own schedule.
If they do get promoted, however, they'd probably not see the point. They'd just be focussing on their one season in the sun.

| Not sure that is the case, Ealing had been told they couldn't play at Trailfinders if they got promotion last season which is why there was a deal in place to use Loftus Road as I understand it. Also not sure about 1 season in the sun as the RFU want to increase the league to 14 & relegation may be on hold for a year or 2 anyway. Clearly they prefer Doncaster to secure promotion as that fulfills their desire for more northern teams & that may affect the relegation decision anyway. So think Ealing would take us if the bridges haven't been too badly burned either way.
In stark contrast with RFL that seem to spend their lives with their hands in their underpants where growth is concerned.

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.

| Dont agree Orangeman. I live in Lower Sunbury and its a 10 min walk from Kempton Park Station
You can get a train at Kingston to Kempton
10 min walk from Green street bus stop which comes from Brentford
Lots of ways to get to sunbury

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.

For those who don't want to click on an RU link, the first line says.
"Doncaster Knights and Ealing Trailfinders have not met the minimum standards criteria for promotion"
