| Atomic, spot on mate, a lot of people seem to have dismissed it before its been tried. Like I said before when the grand final was introduced look what they said and look at first crowd that year look at it now.
Why folk resist change s much is beyond me give it a couple of seasons see what happens if it's poop then the rfl will change it, it's what we have done for over 100 years as a sport

| Buzza,
Never said we could not benefit from a change at the club, have merely pointed out that when Mr Hughes decided to spend his money elsewhere we were severely lacking in other options. RL has constantly changed 2 leagues 1 league 3 leagues but never 0 leagues, London does need finance the only person willing to do that at mo is DO.

| It's simple mate. We don't have another option at the moment! Get your wish get DH to pull his money, there is no one else to step in, comparing that to the changes the RFL have made over the years, it's never been a change that would see the folding of the game! Am happy to embrace change, you have to have something to change to though!

The club may have to take a step back but in the long run that could be a better option. Not quite sure why any of this equates to a folding of the game. There are other RL clubs even in this part of the country.

| And those clubs, I'm assuming you mean Champ 1 are still a long way from a charging up the divisions and if Broncos join them in that division. I can see our fans base deciding they might as well support the local option. Unfortunately how many live within a few miles of Barnet or wherever the next move will take us.

| You already see familiar faces from The Valley, Griffin Park and Stoop at Skolars, Oxford and Hemel. Some watch both Broncos and a League 1 team but some have already been lost to Broncos. Sadly many more appear to have been lost to the sport.

The saddest thing is that he doesn't care.

That's a ludicrous statement, even by your standards.

If the club (and DH is the owner) do care, how come I, along with many others, have received no direct contact from the club since the move asking me to renew a season ticket or getting me to matches?

| I get regular e-mails with updates & offers from LB (but I am a ST holder).
I don't think the fact you haven't had personal letters begging you to come back is a sign that DH doesn't care about his club. More likely that as ever, there is limited personnel at LB and admin has never been their forte.
Anyone that sees and talks to DH at every game will testify to the fact that he very much cares about this club (and surely it is reasonable to suggest that anyone who has spent 10m plus of his own cash is probably bothered).
I think a lot of our lapsed fans are lapsed because it doesn't suit them to travel to The Hive or they don't want to watch Champ RL or they're fed up with supporting a hopeless cause (fair enough!)
