As you love your numbers so much, how would that have panned out with comparison fan numbers?
As for shattering confidence errrrr the difference is they played rugby league, not playing at all would have achieved what for players confidence levels?
Coaches build squads generally from players they know, if you consider that to be looking after his mates, then so what? It's what happens.
As for not having the draw of big clubs and fans on here looking at the positives of next year, sadly some of us want to watch rugby league, yep we would prefer it to be SL but it's not going to be, so we will enjoy what we can, constant bleating ain't going to change it.
But most of us obviously not including gutters are just pleased we still have the team to support'"
My true colours
Believe me Michael, i would give anything to see a successful london sl club but i refuse to accept that hughes js anything more than a meglomaniac who has killed us.
Id have rather the rfl had let lenegan own us, but the minute tbey said no, hughes should have ploughed in with demands for assistance. .....
The confidence of those players playing rl was shot......and that was before they were binned.
Skolars play rl.......broncos edge was that jt was top flight. 500 is tops in regard to next years regular seasons average........and memberships?????
Most of us? Wrong mikey boy......wrong. most of us are GONE. Close to 4k to close to 1k in 6 years.........lets applaud huges some more shall we.....after all......it is HIS CLUB

Interesting article'" Very!!! Sounds similar to our plight doesn't it.
Over the last ten years we have made no secret of our determination to find a permanent home we can call our own. It’s a move we believe is essential to guarantee the long-term success of the Club, both on and off the pitch.
Unfortunately attendances at Adams Park have not been as high as we would have wished, or as we need, to survive as a business in the professional era.
Why can’t we stay at Adams Park?
We run a high risk of going bust. It’s as simple as that.
Adams Park was always intended as a short-term solution. The Club doesn’t make enough money in High Wycombe for it to be sustainable - for every £1 spent by supporters at Adams Park the Club gets 15p.
Over the past 18 months our owner has absorbed almost £10million of the Club’s losses. We are losing approximately £3 million every year. We cannot continue in that vein if we want our Club to survive and succeed.
Staying where we are would mean continuing to lose £3 million a year while awaiting planning permission elsewhere. The green field sites we have explored have a low chance of success. On average, securing planning consent, building new stadiums and the infrastructure they require, takes 10 years to come to fruition.

....very open statement. Compare it to the ramblings of the cricket feilding maestro and part time CEO who applauded his own efforts in the same area of business

Be interesting to see the support we get in Coventry ... Over 2.800 supporters have signed a petition saying they will not travel the 3/4 hours !!!
I wasn't one ... I'll check it out first !!
Supporting both wasps and London for over 30 years has had me travelling all over the place !!!!
But it's all good.... Though how I miss wasps at Sudbury and Fulham rl at craven cottage !!!

Black Backgrounds/Zoot.gif Freedom for supporters of the government, only for members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. freedom is always and exclusively for one who thinks differently.

Because the regulations sate that you can't own two clubs (conflict of interest) - they had to bend the rules for a bit as no-one was interested in buying his stake (wonder why? Shut up, Gutters!) Incidentally, the row over the Wasps move is deepening, with Worcester (currently spending a year visiting the poor relations before swapping with London Welsh) now asking questions about development areas, plus Coventry RFC aren't happy either - it's been a lead story on 'Midlands Today' all week.

It wouldn't have achieved anything for their confidence levels, but would have enabled gutterfax to crow about how he was right, hence why he spends his entire time on here attacking anyone who continues to attend matches, or says anything remotely positive.

It's ok he laid his stall out here in thinking we should have folded!

| Any chance you guys can either set up dedicated threads the rest of us can ignore or take to using the PM system to wind each other up etc. A quick look at how few active posters we have these days suggests it might be widely appreciated.
A message board loses it's value when you have to wade through pages of people winding each other up to get at the facts

A quick glance as to has just freely admitted to trying to wind me up will point you towards the cause. This thread is about our home and my posts in it are about our home........
