Quote: Rogues Gallery "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?'"

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 icon_sad.gif icon_biggrin.gifEPRESSED:

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.

Quote: 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 go to any games at Gillingham, not a chance

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

There lies one of the problems, have the powers that be consulted anybody on price increases in order to stay at the Stoop? I'm all for value for money, but it's a double edge sword, to higher price then people won't buy, too lower price the hard core will, but the floaters, don't as the the product suffers through lack of investment.
They need to strike a balance, for what you get as a sport and spectacle as a whole, I think its a cheap source of entertainment. A £ 100 increase on a season ticket would be fair reflection.
They could then market better family ticket offers like they always used to when we were at Brentford.
As been said before until the team are competitive for back to back seasons, making play-offs and semis in CC, I don't feel much of an impact to fan base will be made. Also the away fans experience has to be considered, do away with the after game bands etc then it really becomes a take it or leave it fixture.

There could be three price levels, one behind the goal, one for the East and one for the West. That way every-bodies pockets could be satisfied.

Quote: rosetintedspecs "Gus on friday - We will not know until maybe November who the new coach will be , we have had a lot of international interest'"


This sums up 100% the role that Gus has at the club.......FFS, Even Stevo, not 1 minute after Gus had said this, mentioned the new coach would be announced within the week......It would seem that DH had told everyone except Gus c020.gif

IMO.....David Hughes took over the running of the club the moment the "review" was announced......he sacked staff who he thought were doing nothing other than cost him money, decided Twickenham wasn't working and started putting feelers out for somewhere new....the move, no matter where it is and what the club are called will be yet another pointless act by the club/Mr Hughes unless it is backed up with 1 million pounds worth of marketing over 5 years.

Can anyone name another SL club or Championship club that won't be marketing its Season Tickets either on or before their last home game of the regular season?

The cheap Season Tickets were a good idea. It was an incentive to get a number of people in the ground, be it RU fans, football fans or just floating fans who turn up three times a year. However, it never seemed to work.

I don't think that any club will have the fans this club has. There are fans from London, Surrey, Hampshire, Essex, Kent and probably other counties that turn up for home games, I doubt that Wigan, Wakefield or any other team will have fans turn up for regular round games who have travelled from 5+ counties.

Wherever the club plays, its not going to suit everyone. Twickenham is just too far (and to expensive travelling to/from) for me but its a five minute journey for others on here.
