| So roughly 30 miles from The Stoop, nice 'home' distance.
If you do get kicked out by Quins though, it is one of the better places to re-locate.

| Just to say this ground is a right old walk from the station. As previously mentioned it is a long way but it is also up and down hill. It is years since I made the walk but I do remember thinking 'never again' and I'm someone who walks a lot compared to many.

Then postpone 2 games. Leeds are 2 games behind yet I haven't noticed a single one of their staff or supporters bleating about it.
Its funny how this pitch has suddenly developed this appalling drainage issue. I don't live far away from the ground and it has hardly been raining on a persitsent basis lately and isn't due to do so in the next week.
This whole situation stinks IMO and we aren't being told the whole truth. Something isn't right.

| I wonder whether the fact that the Grand National is at 4.15 that afternoon was taken into consideration when this game was re-scheduled !! ![Confused icon_confused.gif](images/smilies//icon_confused.gif)

| Cancel the games, but do you have a guarantee from the landlords that they will let us use the pitch?? Next I expect to hear is we need to work on the pitch, make repairs and re-seed immediately our own games are completed! then we need to give it time to settle.

Complete rubbish which is why I think there is more to it. The pitch was bad but not that bad and the weather in South West London has been fine recently.

Final nail in coffin re arguments in favour of finding a way to stay at The Stoop. Even Brentford didn't b*gg*r us around in this way at such short notice. Where will we be next season? Who knows - at present the odds are on nowhere.

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.

| I'm wondering if Quins have been leaned on by the RFU, not because it's RL, but because they want the pitch in the best feasable condition for what is a showcase TV game.

Plenty, car parking right outside ground, not sure of cost though, shouldn't be more than a fiver, I wonder if our car park tickets are valid, they should be honoured.

Yes, fair enough - but this doesn't happen to other clubs who groundshare with union, or, for that matter, football clubs.

What's rubbish then? are you alleging that Broncos are telling us porky pies that they would not allow us to use the stoop on Thursday and already a week before a game they tell us again we can't use the pitch.
Come on tell us what your genuine thoughts are that lead you to say, there is more to it?

Maybe Gus put a spanner in the works.
