Shame none of you could have seen the 850 at chiswick. Or roughly the same at palace and the thousands we've lost from early 80s to 90s. We've been folding since mid 90s. Before brisbane came in .... Then Branson.
Supporters and players in tears after thinking we were folding....
Real rollercoaster for some ... Think we lost 6,000 odd fans over those first few years too

1. Not shouting anyone down. Simply pointing out that the agreement for 2 years trumpeted in December 2013 for 2014 AND 2015 is no longer in place and that 2015's agreement is not yet confirmed.
2. Actual figures? 1,280 average over 12 games didn't generate enough revenue for AK.......see point 1 above

I'll rephrase to make it less ambiguous. Let me know when your source makes further claims about 2015 and you have the actual rental cost for Broncos staying at the Hive 2015. Until then I'm not interested in repeating the discussions we have already had multiple times and bored the asses of everyone else.

I have been told as recently as this week that Broncos are definitely at the Hive next season, whether it be on the second year of the 2 year deal or a renegotiated deal for a long term. As I said earlier, my understanding is the Hive are not keen on the second year of the deal and would prefer a longer deal in place and I completely understand why this would be the case given the position with whether Underhill is sold and a larger North stand is built to house the Broncos operation should they decide to stay beyond this year.

Let me make this clear. I can find nothing and no one that supports GFs claim that Broncos may be homeless in 2015 or even that they wont be at the Hive 2015.

Yes, but it maybe replaced with an alternative.

Not sure I can be any clearer than that. Did you think I was saying the Hive would let the Broncos stay at the Hive without a deal in place?

Yet the club have not mentioned where they are playing in 2015.......and the deal for 2015 that was heralded is being renogotiated at the request of the landlord. Unless he is he most benevolent if souls, you'd envisage him requiring more coin than he took this year....and the club are back as tenants once again. The emperor is stark bollock naked but still some on here like the new outfit.....

You could have just answered yes or no. Is it agreed by both parties that if the deal cannot be renegotiated the original one stays in place ?

You are right GF that apart from initially stating they are playing at the Hive for two years they have not issued a statement since seeing your claim on this forum.

You really need to go back to December 2013 and see how the agreement was announced. It was a deal for 2014 with an option for a second year. The landlord wants nothing to do with the arrangement for this year, next year, so the club are renegotiating the terms for 2015 which will include us paying rent.....something that we were told wouldn't happen in this defining new dawn for the club. We've been fed bull and some are greedily and gratefully wolfing it down

No. The one on all the media sites that spoke about 2014 and the mentioned 2015 as an afterthought.......I said at the time it was bollox and that he RFL had oiled the wheels with a marketing budget just so we could fulfil the 2014 fixtures.........nobody have a toss about 2015..........and now were over a barrel with a landlord who wants rent.......so were back where we were at he stoop but with half the fans.....genius

I prefer the initial press release from the Hive to other sites interpretation.

Funny that. I'd go for the RFL the bbc and other respected sites.
As it is though, the hive statement is bollox because the hive ripped up the 2nd year part of the deal. AK is now no nearer being an investor in the club than he was in 2012 before he'd even heard of us.......we are paying him rent for 2015. Best an easiest bit if business he's done in ages I reckon.....took a cash injection from the RFL last year and now has us bang to rights over a barrel because nobody else wants us and the RFL don't give a flying one......
