I was spoilt. I lived 50ft from Griffin Park & was a 15 minute bus ride from The Stoop. I went to the last SL game at the Hive when I was back in London.....I doubt I'd have made the effort too regularly given it was over an hour on public transport. Trailfinders would've been perfect if I'd stayed in London as I lived 1 mile away......Plough Lane would be a complete non starter.
At Griffin Park, I used to sit with a lovely lady from Leeds, who lived down near Bromley. 3 Hours was her journey time on Sundays......that level of commitment is to be applauded, but I can get to a Warriors game here, including travel to airport, flight, travel to Mt Smart in a similar timescale and not as nightmarish with TFL engineering works etc.

This move needs to be rethought. Unless Hughes has been assured of a spot in the 20, I can see no reason for becoming a carbon copy of the skolars and shifting an hour away from the fans they have left.....the silence of Rimmer of late and various other chairmen throwing their oars in points to something seismic approaching the sport. Knowing RL, it'll involve flogging off 50% of the game for far too little and the proceeds all going to 5 clubs and Bradford

That's what I thought, but Victor was told otherwise.

Even if they suddenly reversed course and stayed at Ealing it's too late to rebuild this club, the damage has been done. I don't think even the supporters trust could muster enough people to save the club now - a couple of years ago, probably yes, but not now.

A Wimbledon statement confirmed there would be an element of revenue sharing on food and drink. Understandably the % cut wasn't mentioned.

It will same as at Trailfinders!!

Sadly that is not the case. Thus no effort by the Broncos to put on post match entertainment.

Or pre-match. In fact not much on pitch entertainment for all those watching against the top sides (which next season will mean pretty much them all compared to us).

Beginning to think we won't see the outcome of the "Summit Meeting" until the end of the season. Not quite sure why the menagerie are putting together an "article" as WQ put it rather than a plan. But then again, our plans have more in common with the battle of Isandlwana than anything else.

IIRC that was a “ surprise” defeat by what were assumed inferior troops. After a bit of tooling and froing and Rourkes Drift we hammered them with superior fire power. Our plan here seems to be to throw an inexperienced L1 manager into a really difficult situation and then bin him when it doesn’t work out. Then take exactly the same steps again with exactly the same type of manager. Good interview or not I fail to see how 40 point spankings by North Wales is a better indicator of success than 2 point wins over Swinton. Neither impress but as least TT is bedded in with the players and has some Champ experience.
As for the PL move, now that Man of Kent doesn’t post we have complete consensus on that. The only argument seems to be we have run down ET so badly in terms of on and off field product, marketing and fan engagement that it will fail so we have to go somewhere else. To be honest we could book a pitch at Hackney Marshes for £30 and charge the 50 or so attending an honesty “entrance” fee of £2, sell tea and coffee and buns have a cheap programme and we would definitely make a profit as opposed to PL where we will lose 10s of thousands.We won’t grow the game there because those losses are unsustainable.

I guess it was a surprise in as much as Chelmsford had 15000 well armed troops 10000 of which he sent to surround the Zulus in a place that weren't. He then sent half his remaining troops on a wild goose chase and his scouting was so poor he failed to notice the 20000 Zulus camped over the ridge. The rest is history as they say. If the Zulus has been better acquainted with the Martini Henry rifle, then Rorks Drift might of turned out different. Anyway calamitous planning & execution are without doubt on a par with Broncos.

Still no news about what went on then. Imagine my shock.

HT my guess is they’ve gone - Fev are successful. Fev are part time. We want to be successful we’re going part time. All the fans went silent. Taking this to be agreement they went on: we need a young progressive manager with L1 experience but not Tom Tsang. He keeps losing. So we’re binning him and getting in JC. And we’ll be raiding Skolars for their best prospects. They followed up by announcing that Wimbledon is going to a pedestrian only borough from October and anyone wanting to attend will need to jet pack in. They didn’t see any major problems with this as everyone has a jet pack.
At this point people started throwing things and the meeting broke up. At a wash up meeting Broncos management agreed it had been a successful fan engagement and the mood was largely supportive.
