| Reasons for Ealing are that :
Barnet were given cash to make sure we had a venue to survive. There was never a future at the Hive.
We need to move to consolidate the entire club in one place. We are treated like an away team at the Hive.
The club needs to generate some money as we don't at the Hive.

| How many home grounds is that now? 25? 30? I'd say it's becoming a joke but that would be ten to fifteen years too late.
The lack of content or thought for a supporter base that has been incredibly loyal and dragged around each corner of the Capital, is deplorable. It's very sad to see people saying this is the last tether for them but after being treated the way they have over the years, it's somewhat understandable.
As for a community based, fan owned club. Though the idea is good, what are the chances of the numbers being both interested and willing to part with their cash to fund such a club? It will not come cheap and though I'm hazarding a guess, I can't see the funds being put up long term.

It will be interesting to see what they do with Bushey, as they have spent a fair bit on it. Maybe they will train there the majority of the week, Ealing for a day or two. I guess the players will be located around Barnet, and not sure upheaval would be appropriate.

I was led to believe everything will move to west London.

| I am surprised we are leaving Bushey. As said above, quite a bit of money has been spent there. Its one thing playing at Ealing but is there the space/infrastructure there to cope with another team training as well as office space for the admin?

So in other words the club took all that time a couple of years ago to make a completely bonkers decision.

If it is Ealing then i think this is an excellent idea, and would add that we do a leaflet drop to every house around the ground with the same offer, but i leave the marketing to others that know best Jim/GF and others

| What would help to promote the club upon moving to Ealing, would be if we won this Super Eight Shield thing. It would make us sound like winners to any potential new fans.
