| i know away fans aren't really an issue here, but i cant see too many of them coming all the way to gillingham, especially after the novelty of the first season has worn off. it could be that the away support dwindles considerably too.
if this does happen, i would imagine the medway club will have a fairly large say in what is going on, as it was their hard work which made the hull game much more of a success then it could/should have been. however, this is a club which has aspirations to get into the championship structure in its own entity. having broncos on their doorstep would surely be a hindrance to this, would it not?
for me, it doesn't add up. are 3,000 different people going to show up to replace the 3,000 averages at present. i doubt that.
if i was still around, staying at the stoop would be the preference, and paying 200 pounds is not at all unreasonable.

| As an away (Wigan) fan I'd be very sorry too see you move from the Stoop. Next to Catalan it's my favourite away trip, although the band in the bar post match this year wasn't up to your normal standard.
Gilingham seems a very strange choice, but we'll still come down (already looked at local hotels). I used to like Brentford, are they not having a new ground built, so would that not be a better fit IF you have to move?
Like most of the posters on here I hope you stay at the Stoop. Good luck, and well done on securing Tony Rea as your coach.

They hope to build a new ground at Lionel Road, about half a mile to the east of Griffin Park, but it won't be completed before at least the 2017 Superleague season.

| I would rather pay £300 than move to bloody gillingham. I simply WILL NOT travel out of London to watch London play. Really want to be happy about Tony Rea coming back but can't until I know we won't move to Gillingham

Same here. If the move is announced, Rea simply has a new job at another club that don't interest me or have any connection to the club I support.

| :I would definatley pay more to stay at the Stoop. Do you think the move could be as big a smoke screen as the new coach was.
Gus on friday - We will not know until maybe November who the new coach will be , we have had a lot of international interest
Tony Rea - no I am not applying
Today - Tony is the new coach on a 2year contract - I dont have a problem with him as coach
Moving - we are going to Gillingham / Orient / Brentford / Aldershot and anywhere else people want to throw in the mix.
Probably tomorrow we will be told we are staying at the Stoop with reduced rent (due to proving other places do want us) and a £100 higher price season ticket to help with club costs - again I would not have a problem with that.
We can dream

| Quote markrammond="markrammond"Let's assume a sports fans A and B live in central London and they are both based within walking distance of the London Kings Cross/St Pancras railway stations.
Fan A supports London Broncos at the Stoop whilst Fan B supports London Broncos at Gillingham.
It would take fan A, who goes to the Twickenham Stoop, between 52 and 59 minutes to get to Twickenham Station and would cost £8.50 for his off peak travel. Given that he has the cheapest season ticket possible, he also uses, in theory, £7.61 of his season ticket to watch the game. So the total cost to him is £16.11.
It would take fan B, who goes to Gillingham, about 60 to 63 minutes to get to this station but would cost £17.50 for his off peak travel. Given that he has the cheapest season ticket possible, he also uses, in theory, £7.61 of his season ticket to watch the game. So the total cost to him is £25.11.
The difference is therefore £9.00 per match to the central supporter. The time difference is nominal. And if he pays an extra £100 for his season ticket there is in theory no difference at all.

Most fans don't live near Kings Cross though and once you move away from there suddenly it becomes a much harder journey, there are not many connections that head out to Gillingham compared to the ease of getting to Twickenham which is a short train from Waterloo, Clapham Junction etc. Technically, I live in Kent according to my postcode yet it took me far longer to get to and from Gillingham than it does the Stoop, such is the nature of public transport towards that part of the country.

Would I pay extra for a season ticket at The Stoop, most definitely.... have there been any "no's" yet?
