It's a very modern setup at Vallis Way, but if I recall, the stand holds very little indeed.
Would Ealing want us there, now that they are back in the RU Championship?
It's a couple of miles from Ealing Broadway station, which means a 30 minute walk, a taxi or 2 buses.

| Ealing is the rumour I have heard. Three direct buses routes from Ealing broadway. Big Fullers pub near the ground.
We need to be buying in if its Ealing. My bet is we are.

Bugger, you mean I might actually have to go there.
Where are my hiking boots?

May all be nonsense but you never know.
E7, E9 and 297 go from the Broadway. Hiking boots optional.
Castle park station closed on a Sunday. Prefer Saturday games as the state I got in last Sunday after drinking all day at the Hive then carrying on with Skolars players in Wood Green spoon doesnt mix with work on a Monday

| Ealing is not a good move. Too small and no where near Super League level. Of course we still have a long way to go to get back into Super League but if it does happen how will Ealing be any good??

| I'd suggest any move to Ealing, or Hayes & Yeading, is recognition that David Hughes is trying to ensure the club becomes self sufficient, or close. If that means non Super League then that's the future realistically. The parachute payment won't be around next season and gate levels clearly won't fund SL at the moment, or for the foreseeable future.

I couldn't stand another rant about how f*****g clueless Hughes is and how he has destroyed the club.
For the record, this time 2 years ago we we back as the Broncos, had 4 times as many fans, were looking forward to a Challenge Cup Quarter Final and Keiran Dixon was on his way to 21 tries in a side that finished second from Bottom......Progress eh! Innit great?'"

| I would like to see New River developed as a home for London RL. A 'Hive' could fit there.

SL self sufficiency requires 10,000 fans a game paying 20 each, and other residual revenues and SKY TV money delivering a turn-over of not less than 4 million. This London Club in its current guise will never return to Super League......Hughes has seen to that. Ealing Trailfinders is a tidy little sports ground with a Cricket Crease on the other side of the Stand/Club rooms.....it could be the Headingley of the South!
Edit. rlhttps://www.tfsc.co.uk/sport.htmrl
The Pitch is available for general hire for £250.00 at weekends, or £720.00 weekend evening games.....if we were getting 600 to games next year then over 11 regular season matches, that's £132k a season on the door for a cost of £2,750 in pitch hire (based on 3pm Sat/Sun)
Unless we are buying into the grounds, that'll be it other than shirt sales.....200 or so won't add much to the coffers.
Not sure how much Sky money we get next year, but if it's say £300k, then we could be looking at an income of about half a million before Hughes chips in.
Edit II
rlhttps://www.tfsc.co.uk/pdf/2015/Rugby-Pitch-Plan.pdfrl
Tidy little set up there. I can see this being a permanent home for us with.....Bristol and London Scottish at Ealing in the Union next year will probably require another temporary stand, so there's probaly a chance we could squeeze 2k in if required.

| So lots of rumours people latching on to random ground names, anyone actually heard anything to back up any of the thoughts?

| One fact. Ronniequin posted that David has said Broncos may be off. He also added that he believes the negotiations to be with a West London location. No source named so quite possibly not David or a club source. The named grounds are speculation but the truth is there aren't many suitable venues in West London. It seems reasonable to presume that, if it is West London, both will have been approached. Whether they would be interested is a very different matter.
