You really think he had a career ?

as an side, I have been checking out various socual media channels and it has struck me how "pro Dave" these are?
This may go some way to explaining why he continued to layer mistake upon mistake over the last few years as well as his dismissal of posters here and the other forum as a "few whiners". The facebook fanpage has a condition of membership that you do not criticise the club, players or staff?????
WTF????
I have been a Glasgow Celtic fan for decades and criticism of the club, players and staff has been a PRE-CONDITION of fandom, long before social media was born. There seems to be a core of a dozen or so who still blindly cheer Hughes for his efforts, but you would have to be mentally deficient not to see that Hughes, regardless of investment or best intentions, has killed the club, stone dead.
As for the future? Does anyone believe that an investor would touch London without cast iron assurances from IMG? It would be like buying a lottery ticket for twice the price and already knowing you've picked the wrong numbers. IMHO, better we drop down now, regroup as an amateur side and rebuild from the bottom up. There is no silver bullet. Long days of hard graft are needed and without Hughes to paper over the cracks with tenners and pay wages to the wrong people, we may just see how loyal these one eyed social media fascists are when it comes to volunteering. They certainly went MIA when they were asked to help out a couple of years back.
Rosslyn Park ir Trailfinders as a base with a view to League 1 in 2026 or 27 would be a start. Aim to get 1,000 paying fans and 500 freebies a week and cultivate the freebies. Engage with the locals, become part of the local fabric and grow organically.

Was using the term loosely Buzz.

I suspect most of us will be Hovis by the time any organic growth sees the light of day. From what I can see we don't have the likes of Ron & Mo Snares or Gwen & Barry Warren to drive that approach forward.

I think the club have a better chance of rebuilding around the women's side. Focus on that and see what happens.

For a totally selfish reason as it is 5 minutes walk from my place but if the club were to start fresh maybe. have a look at this place. https://www.imbercourt.com it is a sports ground run by locals with a ready to go ruby pitch with a 700 seater stand and the nicest surrounding which could really benefit the club in entertaining families to get behind the game.Has a good bar, clubhouse and even has a permanent Dough shack pizza place in the car park which i am sure could be dragged around alongside the pitch.If the club were to flourish , there is scope to build on the site and even if the kids get bored there is a playground on site. The local community really do get behind things that go on in and around the area and you also have Elmbridge Eagles down the road which is a good club with lots of different age teams and even a wheelchair rugby league team. I am sure if you approached the owners they would even let you move the marquee gym onto site.the only problem being sometimes they hold festivals there in the summer but even has a over 35's discos every few motnhs that apparently do get a bit lively. The ground even has two railways station less than a mile walk, Thames Ditton and Esher. https://www.imbercourt.com/sports-outdoor-events/rugby/

That's a former Met Police sports club. The football and rugby teams (and possibly others) still play there.

I see Goole will play in League 1 next year. I assume the Bèdford consortium was unsuccesful. I wonder if they might buy broncos and move the club to bedford?

Lengthy statement from the club today. Patting themselves on the back quite a bit but also planning to be at Cherry Red in the Championship next season. Unclear where funding for that is coming from. https://www.londonbroncosrl.com/press-r ... son-update

Very worrying. They must commit to the league soon yet discussions with investors are not at an advanced stage. Having driven away so many hardcore fans, they now have a business plan based around increasing fan revenue. In the Championship with far fewer away fans to assist revenues

Credit to those involved in the rescue attempt and I genuinely hope they succeed but...

It’s good to get some detail and to see they are trying to move things forward. I hope they succeed but the clock is definitely ticking.

Has anyone here ever thought of, or reckoned at doing a Exeter City FC trust model?

It is a stupid idea as Exeter back when it was established had 4,000 crowds when we were in the , but could we as Brocs supporters do something smaller, but keep the club alive? A community thing without the community?

I mean pull our professional skills, and contacts together to start from the bottom, and build something?

utter bollox
the club is a basket case paying 3 wages, of which 2 are a waste of time.

sorry. but 30 million spazzed away is no reason for a thank you. 10% of that spent where i told them and we'd be a top 6 SL side.

Hughes killed us......he deserves no thanks. The fact his son got a job speaks volumes........

.....500 or fewer average next year....SL in 2 is a dream and totally a lie.
i have £500,000 in a UK bank that i cant get to at prwsent. I wouls rather give it to the inland revenue than Lobster........and ge is an accountant

The Broncos actively targeted the one supporters body which may have been able to assist via the Trust model, ensuring it's effective demise.

Given the timescales there probably isn't time to stand up a Trust and gett it running a team next season. Trusts really need to be in existence before it hits the fan. Even if you had time, I suspect many of the leading contenders to step up were so badly scarred by their last efforts, they would find something else to do with their time.

When you can get to it, can I borrow £50 please?
