The Stoop is very "clinical".....I suspect that if the Union lot do well and average 12,591 for their games at the HOME, (not elsewhere), they may look to close off 2 corners at one end and add 4k to the capacity...their last 3 games at "HOME" have all been sold out.
I suspect that when the built the North Stand they would have made preperations for further expansion.....well run businesses do that sort of thing!

jaybs please tell us where this mystery ground is (presumably in the East) that is suitable?

You want us to get out of The Stoop but you don't appear to have any alternatives. Pray enlighten us.

I presume we may be looking at Leyton, but is there something post Olympics? that could be converted, just hope it is not as far out as Gillingham.

Highly unlikely to be Gillingham given we are called London Broncos.

Gus has done nothing else right todate so chosing the wrong stadium will sit well within his strategy.

Ring fatty Wood at the RFL and get the minimum stadium criteria for SL before you sign anything.

Oh I dunno, he got us out of wearing those bloody pastels!!

And into the beauts we are in today

I can't see that the Club would wish to move at the moment when they have opened negotiations on using a training ground in Southwest London.

London Wasps play in High Wycombe, London Irish in Reading - perhaps that's why we don't get the crowds, people are confused where London is and head to Milton Keynes....

You can never be too sure with the way we handle matters

Quins might get a better offer for use of the Stoop next season. Suspect we would be screwed then.

Some interesting comments. For the record I'm not a fan of the club moving away from the Stoop for a number of reasons, most raised by Gutterfex a few posts back, however Ben's original piece raises some interesting questions.

All matchday activity, bar, food concession rent, shop...all count as London Broncos takings.....but it's a stupid question anyway......there are no fans there to spend any money....which dovetails nicely into....




.....please point out where I said more time was needed?

As for Blaming David Hughes.......I 100% do blame him. It is insanity to spend as much as he does with no budget for marketing.......OH, your request to not come back with it being about marketing holds no water either. It is 100% to do with lack of marketing and 100% the fault of the guy bankrolling the club for neglecting the one area that would have provided an opportunity to become self sufficient, attract at least 1 paying sponsor and maybe appeal to another landlord to offer us an incentive to move.

Your continued insistance that a move is the way forward is only matched by your total lack of anything like evidence or analytical research to back it up, other than your belief that west has failed.

A move to a new ground would probably cost something like 100,000 pounds.....with staff not moving and needing to be replaced, moving costs, printing and administration etc......give me 40% of that and I'd get you 10,000 for the visit of HKA in the last game of the season.....it's what I do for a living...I deal in facts, forecasts and results, not imaginary stadiums in east London built by RL pixies and occupied by 10,000 imaginary east london RL fans........

Really?

Like telling us we were paying £400,000 to play at the stoop, or suggesting that a video would cost £10,000 to make without actually knowing how it was made.
