The company i work for (FTSE100 listed) uses Survey Monkey for internal staff surveys. The professional body i belong to also uses it to survey the membership too.
London Eels in black red and white at the stoop for me (as its fairly easy to get to from Brum)

I have followed the LONDON CLUB since I was in my teensl even though born in St Helens and still live nearby and went to the first game at Fulham, also Big West Ham Supporter:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_1649.jpg |

| Quote: Londo06 "I want our own home, but we shouldn't be the desperate middle-aged woman who jumps on a man when he shows her the slightest bit of attention, we should do it for the right reasons and those are when it is feasible behinds the scenes and when we can afford to do it without impacting our limited resources. We don't want to go down the road of Oxfords Kassam Stadium or Valencia's half-built stadium when money runs dry.
I am totally supportive of any preparitive research, either for a purpose-built stadium of our own or potential new stadiums as our lease at the Stoop ends at the end of the 2013 season and Harlequin F.C. may decide they do not need us (cut your nose to spite your face maybe but old in their ways union types are as bad as old in their way league types) and we may need to find somewhere that can accomodate our needs.
In the medium-term I am happy to stay at the Stoop, the atmosphere seems so much more positive being just a few feet closer to the action, and as others have stated it does offer a quality match-day experience. I'm not afraid to look beyond the Stoop, happy to stay there for now, but we must be proactive in looking after ourselves because our landlord may kick as out in a few years and it isn't like we can kip on a mates sofa for a few weeks.'"
I fully agree with you, I have no doubts that it will not happen overnight to get a ground of our own or shared ownership, but lets not forget all St Helens have put into their new ground is the sale of Knowsley Road which which was around £9 million, the rest came from Council and North West Development monies as well as Sports Council. Note the Salford ground is not much dearer and that is in the heart of Manchester in which land prices are not cheap.
Yes I like the old lady comparison! but how about my Loving late Parents! they never owned an house of their own because Dad would never have debt! everything we had we had to pay cash for, but then came along their youngest son who bought his first car a few days after he passed with the help of a £2,000 bank loan and my own savings, I have never seen my Dad so upset, sadly they never lived to see me own my own new property and have no debt, all now paid for, times have changed!
What Quins RU may do in the future when our current contract runs out must be a concern, they could double the rent! I have always side I was in full agreement with using the name as I thought we would gain so much benefit, but now I will also admit I was completely wrong we gained nothing in fact it has knocked us back. |

I can only assume lack of money and need for expediency are the deciding factors here - the club need answers quickly and survey monkey is quick and easy to use (I'm told) |

The survey looks fairly straightforward, but posting the link on here makes it accessible to supporters of other clubs whose comments shouldn't be taken into account. It might have been better to email the link to everyone on the club's mailing list (and yes I know that will still include some supporters of other clubs).
I'm not at all excited or enthused by the prospect of another name change. In fact I feel pretty disillusioned by it as it feels like we're going around in circles and can't be bothered to make anything work properly if it's ever going to work at all, especially if it means reverting to the failed and annoyingly American sounding "London Broncos". I won't stop going to matches altogether, but I certainly won't renew my season ticket until I've seen some evidence that it's going to make a positive difference.
Back in 2005 I felt we should have become "London Harlequins", but at least being Harlequins and playing at The Stoop makes it feel more like playing at a ground of our own. Playing there under any other name will just make it feel like we're squatters again, playing in a ground with someone else's branding and colours. I can't think of another stadium as well suited for our purposes, unless it's a completely new or substantially redeveloped one, which looks like pie in the sky at this stage.
As for some of the better sounding suggestions for a new name: London Ravens has already been used by an American football team, which I think no longer exists; London Lions was an ice hockey club, and is currently in use by a non league football club playing in the South Midlands League. They may be a lot smaller than us but there could be legal complications, and they already have the web address www.londonlions.com |

I agree with you the survey could or should have been targeted better, as I have said earlier on in this thread the link to the survey has been placed on a Super League Fans Group on facebook and the replies were so typical, they only have one fan, call them Halifax they are a real team and they go on, so the kiddies will reply and mock, you can't go off post codes as so many of us do live outside of the area.
Names I never liked Crusaders and even more so the logo, so many at the time asked me were we owned by The Daily Express! but gladly I did not say I would stop supporting! regards the Broncos name, why does everyone keep saying it is an American name, we got it from then from the owners who were from Brisbane Broncos, those in the North are not too good with change but they have taken to Bradford Bulls and few ever mention Bradford Northern these days. If we had been called London Harlequins I would have still said we need to change the name urgently as it is not worked! we are not part of Harlequins and I don't now want us to be, I was one that thought the name would work and we would gain many benefits for me it has been NIL and in fact it has damaged us and will continue to do so.

| I went for staying at the Stoop for the meantime. As cant see where we would or could get the money for a new ground/stadium even if in partnership with another sporting team..i.e football or rugby.
names i went for were London Titans, London Broncos and London Storm.
Only reason went for Storm as couldnt think of anything else and also being silly just thought as Melboune Storm play outside the heartlands in Aus then why not use the same name, and get the club to try get a tie up with them like Leeds/Rabbitohs.   |

I did Ravens like others, did both Richmond and London Ravens. Also Thames Harlequins. And best of all, London Weezers!  (Really hope that wins!)
I mainly stated that I think we should stay as Harlequins, simply because we haven't given it a chance and there are more important things to address. |

It was posted by Super League Fans on facebook and of course without fail all the Bigoted northern gremlins come out, heads in the sand as always, they would rather see the game die before us succeed! in London. They posted the link I just HOPE that it does not mean the whole survey idea will be now be completely useless with all the many Northern friends submitted comments and opinions!'"
That's what I feared would happen. It should be just for Quins fans and, particularly, season ticket holders. |

Because 'Bronco' is term for a wild stallion in New Mexico/California.
Your statement also discourages the idea of 'Broncos' being our own identity too. |
