I don't think you would have needed a magic ball to predict that Quins would qualify for a home QF in Heinenken Cup. There was every chance of this happening. I assume the club would notify the RFL of any specific issues that may need factoring into the schedule.

A good reason then for not sharing with a top union club with an overlap now of nearly 4 months of the season then?

What because we have had to move a fixture because of a clash one time in eight years?

I seem to recall the club being chucked out of Brentford for a couple of months every season

Obviously this kind of thing wouldn't happen when sharing with a soccer club.

Absolutely not.

London Broncos circa 2003

bit of a bummer that, I've worked out I can definitely make the massive total of 6 Broncos league games this season and Bradford was one of them. Hopefully it wont be out in that there Kent or that'll be down to 5 - cant see them doing two in Gillingham though, would they try for Oxford again I wonder (sorry,too lazy to check if Oxford United or London Welsh or Oxford RLFC are playing that day). Hopefully it'll be somewhere in London or, even better, Watford (for purely selfish reasons!).

Why not have it at Leyton again, It was such a huge hit last time

Of course it would happen with a soccer club! (did expect two to jump in quick to that - it was humour) but in Super League there is perhaps only Wigan and us, I'm sure if the good Doctor buys the stadium at Salford he will get First Call to ground!

30 years ago with the RFL we should have bought a small ground and built it up over the years! but that would have been common sense.

The stadium is not part of the deal as far as I'm aware? It is joint-owned by, if I'm not mistaken, Salford City Council and Peel Holdings, and they've no interest in selling. The whole reason why they were even in talks to buy the rugby league club was because without two entities using the ground, they wouldn't be able to get a return on their considerable investment.



Why should governing bodies supply grounds for clubs? In an ideal world clubs would own their own grounds and be able to realise all the financial opportunities from them. Clearly we don't live in an ideal world but I can't see any scenario where this is a good idea.

er.....if we have paid the rent, then the landlord can off.......unless of course we signed a lease that lets them make us move one of the pre-booked 12 days we have just paid for because we are run by a muppet who couldn't find his with both hands if he tried



Utter farce

One of your weaker posts.

Really?
As tenants, the club would have booked the 12 days required for matches and should expect to be able to have access to the ground on these days ..if we are paying 200k a year as has been quoted, will the club get 17k in a refund?

Next time I fly back to the UK I won't waste cash on a hotel, I'll just bounce my tenants out for a fortnight
