Although the Stoop is a great stadium and very handy for me, The club are obviously with the RFL looking at having a London Franchise in its own stadium. This year will be interesting on lots of fronts especially behind the scenes.

PofD spot on as usual.

Agreed.

It has been said on more than 1 occasion it will be East and South East London. Either way, pointless and stupid, for the reasons Prince of Denmark has stated. The club seem to be determined not to lay any routes anywhere, instead chopping and changing every single year. Look at all the big clubs and where their core support comes from - the immediate locality. Yet we are doing the opposite, taking fixtures away from a brilliant stadium, to play in completely irrelevant areas.

Um, I was afraid someone would ask that. It's been said in one communication from the club in the last couple of weeks, but I can't find it now. So, you'll just have to believe, or not, me and Lister. Sorry.

I;ve no probs with the games moving.
So few of us bother to attend the home ones anyway

I went on the website yesterday to buy ST for next year and it was about as clear as mud. I spent 10 minutes on it and I came away with no idea what a ST costs and where I can sit. Really really poor. I will get one but Im too impatient for that cr*p for now. I dont mind waiting for the website to be updated properly but dont launch the ST like that. Grrrr.

Btw I thought we had to leave London during Olympics? Hence a couple of otr games.

Anybody know when the st tickets are issued?

Seriously.....99 quid and sit where you want....it only becomes an issue if we hit 7 or 8k at a game...
On the road games, like them or not will boost the seasons average attendance as well as spreading the game....ticking an RFL box and getting us one step nearer to 3 more years in 2014....
....but you'd rather we ger 2K and change at the games I mentioned, because you like the stoop.

Last year january.

I will be the first to jump all over them if they mess this up, but for now, I am prepared to hold fire and see what February Brings in the way of attendances........as well as the on-line shop, marketing, communications and everything else.
I am fully aware where you, PP and others stand when it comes to the name change, I was there too, but the re-branding did get us seen by thousands at Wembley and that alone is a positive.
As for the shirts and the cricket manufacturer.....I have no doubt that Puma/Kooga or anyone else are only interested in clubs that shift 100's of replicas....we don't, so for 2012 we have a smaller firm making our kit........do you remember the terrible streetwise crap from 2005....now that was shocking!
Yes, the ticketing issue is a bummer, but Gus has said he will look at the level of unhappiness and act accordingly...so instead of being a keyboard warrior (oh the irony isn't lost on me), email him and tell him what you think. If you don't ask, you don't get!

I repeat, September 2010, we didn't know if we'd even have a club for 2011.....DH sorted that out and DH has decided that GMc is the guy to drag this club up to where it should be.......and what is it they say about making an omlette?

It's not blind defence BTW.......it's just patience and as you get older, you'll understand this

Really. I thought it was pretty simple. £99, sit where you like regardless of what stand it says on your season ticket. £175 to sit where you like and get the added extras.

What wasn't clear?
