Perhaps AK has his eyes on Hughester's millions rather than the Rugby team.
I would love the Broncos to be a success at the Hive, but the more I see the already failed CEO backed over the wishes of the Broncos fans, the more obvious the impending disaster....... no website, no updates, no press releases, make it up as you go along, months and months of press blackouts, classic LBs actually!!
He has a guaranteed revenue stream from stadium visitors to see Super Dooper league for 2014.
He already knows from negotiating with David, Gus and Tony ( and the RFL) he has an amateur outfit to deal with which will either fold prematurely mid season or be relegated from superleague in 2014. He must also know they have ridden roughshod over their own supporters ignoring their views and requests (Fans forums? Etc)
AK must have done a little research, enough anyway to see the dire straits the Broncos have been in for so long, also the ineptitude of both David Hughes and Gus Mackay and the impotence of Nigel Wood and the RFL. AK won't lose a penny hosting the Broncos and He wont waste a penny backing them!!!

1. I am led to believe, the Administration and Marketing of the Broncos is now down to AK in return for a fee, as well as a share of the ticketing revenue and all of the Bar/food takings.
2. We are doomed to finish 13th or 14th and therefore be of no interest to AK other than maybe as a tenant who pays to use their pitch/facilities.

The RFL have long dreamed that somehow sticking a pin in the map of Britain would produce professional Rugby League. They still holdfast to that view today despite numerous failures. They cannot and will not invest in or fund any expansion Club and expect private enterprise to foot the bill.

I genuinely beleive TK wants ownership of Broncos. He had been linked with several funny shaped ball enterprises before this.
TK's model revolves around his Membership idea and keeping punters paying all year round. His problem was that come April everyone will cancel and renew for August. By bringing in Broncos and having Womens Super League football he is hoping he can retain those members over the summer.

TK never has and I doubt he ever will prop up a club with playing funds that their off field income can't support. His method of working is to build an infrastructure that will support a larger playing budget. If Barnet Council hadnt screwed us over then we would now be playing at Copthall in a 10k stadium and not Saracens.

So if you think TK is after someone elses money - I doubt it.
If you think TK will dip into his own pocket for player funds - Nope.
What he will do is invest behind the scenes to maximise the player budget available. We have a running joke about the fact he spent 400k on solar panels instead of buying players so the club was more profitable and could afford higher wages.

If TK sees that Broncos is not viable over the next 2 years then he will walk away, if he sees that his model is working and Broncos can be a success then he will look to take them on.
From anyone looking at the Broncos balance sheet in recent times this is a sensible approach imo.

So if you're looking for a sugar daddy you've come to the wrong place, but if you want someone who will work towards a long term future then maybe he is the right person for the job.

Leave Gus alone you bullies

I've not yet been to the Hive - I plan on taking in a football game in the new year - but the notion that it is in some way an improved facility compared to The Stoop strikes me as utterly fanciful.

New season starts eight weeks on Sunday. Two weeks before that I'll be toddling down to the Racecourse Ground for a pre-season friendly between the Cru' and Hemel.

Is there a massive walkway between the pitch and the stands at the hive?

Yes. A vast yawning chasm. My advice to you is stay away

you could have a double decker bus drag race along it it's that wide

All this Anti London rubbish is incredibly boring and tedious now. We get it, you hate Hughes, you hate Gus, you hate Rea, you hate The Hive etc etc etc. Enough of the trolling!

I thank you

Link to radio interview with Gus here... www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/25435244 ... 5m 25s long. I still can't figure what he does in his day job.

A week ago everyone was angry and disapointed because we thought we'd lost our club. A week later it seems many are angry because we havn't? Amazing
