Utter disgrace if there is any truth in this, David Hughes is successfully killing our club. Congrats bro.

How many members do the Medway Dragons have? Because they're the only people who will turn up for matches.

Farce.

It certainly took the wind out of my sails to come home to this news last night

I really hope Gus Mackay and David Hughes are reading these comments and realise that they are giving big eff-you to those that have folllowed for many years, they've lost enough fans already, and now look like they'll be losing even more at the moment.

Maybe people should put a petition together and send it to the club, and try and stop the nonsense before it becomes a reality

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. Rosa Luxemburg, 'Die russiche Revolution'.:Black Backgrounds/Zoot.gif



Griffin Park followed by a joint move to the planned new stadium sounds a good move (even if there won't be a pub on each corner at the new ground). A problem that people have missed in this is pitch length - although the RL allow occasional games on short pitches in SL, a permanent move now needs a full sized one - if Bradford do move to Valley Parade apparently something like six rows of seats are going to have to go from each end to lengthen the pitch.

Listy what does that mean?

I note your recent posts (very limited in number) have targeted the proposed ground, fat players etc. It must be killing you to see the team smashing Cas, Wire, Reds etc.

Turn on the peripheral rubbish as its difficult to vilify the club when they are the form team. Got it.

Oh well, if there any truth in the move East, then that's the last few nails in the coffin lid for the club as it stands.
After HKR game that's it for me, they can't say it's not been successful in West/South west London as they've had nothing to compare it with, by this I mean back to back successful seasons, with no successful team on pitch they have nothing to sell.
Why have the fans not been PROPERLY consulted if they want another move?

Despite being on this side of London I don't want us to move from the Stoop. Got home at about half 1 last night but was a fantastic night, no other stadium I've ever been to has such a good 'Matchday experience' - the band after the game were great and if Harlequins can sell it out there's clearly nothng wrong with the location.

Groundsharing with a football club presents no end of problems. It saddens me that we can't suck it up and keep going at the Stoop, a purpose built rugby venue, great facility that most fans (IMO) appreciate.

Problem is our support is the widely spread some will want to stay west some will want to go east. Much as i like the Stoop as a stadium and prefer it to Orient and Gillingham i hate the 4 hour round trip and the 3 trains or M25 traffic to get to a game and im not the only one. I guess we would loss some season ticket holders but gain others like me although i would hope the west London lot would still stick with the club once they get used to the idea. Its really not far into Kent (if it is Gillingham?), takes 15-20 minutes off the M25.
Could it be we as a club simply have no choice? Maybe DH is unable/unwilling to pay what Quins want and we have to move?
What if the plan is to move east until the new stadium in Brentford is open, could be a winner from all sides, club picks up new fans from the east then returns west with the pull of a shiny new ground.
Guess its going to be rumour and speculation until we are told officially, whenever that is.

Oh and for the record I was as delighted as anyone last night and enjoyed goading some of your fellow Warrington supporters in the East Stand. See you at Wembley.

Quote: Bronco believer "What if the plan is to move east until the new stadium in Brentford is open, could be a winner from all sides, club picks up new fans from the east then returns west with the pull of a shiny new ground.
'"

That is just totally hare-brained. Move 35 miles east with the intention of moving back again a few years down the line? The new Brentford ground won't be ready until the 2017 Superleague season according to the publicity when the project was announced a few weeks back. (And that's assuming everything runs smoothly with no delays in obtaining planning permission or during its construction.)

If there is any intention to move in with Brentford at their new ground it would make more sense to stay put until then, in an excellent stadium only a few miles to the south. (Or to move back to Griffin Park if it's compliant with current Superleague criteria.)

Gillingham would end my support of the club. I'm a Londoner, I've always lived within a few miles of Central London, I've got no wish to support a club based in the middle of Kent, or to travel to Kent to watch matches. I like watching Superleague rugby, and whilst Gillingham would still be the nearest place I can do so if we go there, frankly I'd rather book a few cheap train journeys a year to places like Wigan, Warrington, Wakefield etc, all of whom play within walking distance of train stations with direct services out of Euston/King's X, as well as lending my support to Skolars too.

I'm convinced one of the main reason this club struggles for support is that we never seem to go more than five years without changing (a) the club's name, (b) the club's location, or (c) the clubs playing colours. Every time one of these three key elements changes it weakens and dilutes the club's identity. Many of our rivals have played under the same name (give or take some of the "nickname" type names to have been incorporated into club names in the Superleague era) in the same colours and in the same area since the 19th century. We can't even manage to do that for more than half a decade.
