| If London Welsh manage to survive this season in the RU top flight then they may well move into the Stoop next year, assuming the Broncos aren't there.
I'm not a season ticket holder anymore but get to as many games as I can. Move to Gillingham and it's all over for me.

| Move to Kent and its over for us to and reading these posts it would suggest they will lose more than half their core group. In effect it will be like starting the club from scratch and I would not like to guess whether or not the club would survive in SL. If we can't stay at the Stoop for economic reasons then let's go back to Bentford and build from there. With a wiining team we can entice more people back and build on from there. All the hard work done in development will be completely wasted if they move to Kent. We have some outstanding talent developing and we need to stay close to the area we are in either the Stoop or Brentford. Move too far away and this could all be lost, would local schools and clubs still want to be part of a club where the main focus is Kent.

Apologies GF! my mistake, I got it wrong.
Kelvin's Ferret started the thread, perhaps he can tell us when Steve said on Sky we would be moving to a ground we have used for on the road games he decided to may his choice of Gillingham and use it as the thread title, was it as I accused GF wrongly that it would get the most worked up!
It annoyed me on a night we had something to celebrate, some great rugby played and an amazing win we were soon back to negative chat! and an headline just plucked out!
Wherever we may play someone will not be happy! David Hughes must do what he feels is best for the club and I am sure this has been discussed with others such as the RFL. Everyone may go on that The Stoop is the best, yes that may be the opinion of some, discussions started with the landlords we know that but it seems an agreement could not be made and a better alternative is available, yes we can go on speculating on and on and saying we will not go, good job many others including myself have never said that since the first Fulham game and followed & supported the club at many homes. It is unfortunate that we were never able to stay at Fulham and have built up a real base, but fact is we didn't and it looks as if we are on the move again.

| Maybe this has been discussed somewhere on here already , i can't see anything though but there was a link on the ryman league fans forum about the club becoming part/joint owners of the new 12,000 stadium being planned for AFC Wimbledon at the dog stadium.

Actually it's on the Tooting & Mitcham forum and it's a fifty fifty share with an initial capacity of 10,000

Great if true. I used to live down there, well Earlsfield to be exact, and an easy place to get to.

Even as late as August 12 this year it has been stated that the plan is for the Wimbledon Greyhound Stadium to be initially developed into a 12,000 capacity but the options to extend up to 22,000 as if ever needed, but does not mention us as stated on wikipedia except it will be multi purpose?
www.london24.com/sport/wimbledon ... _1_1474146
Back in 2011 this was discussed on a Widnes Vikings forum of course mocking how could we ever afford to have a share of a stadium.
Do not know the area of Wimbledon very well only ever been to the tennis, is it in a area we could develop? would we go on the road for two season's or to one stadium ready for a 2015 opening?

If its true and is really gonna happen then common sense would say we must stay in West London so if the stoop is out it must be Brentford as a stopgap surely
Maybe we should start a bucket fund at the next home game to help DH raise th £9 million he will need

Isn't that what was posted on Wikipedia sometime last year and discussed on here at the time? Harlequins Rugby League is a bit of a give-away.

| There's a story on code13 saying it's one of 4 places next year: Stoop, brentford, Orient, Gillingham.
The more this discussion goes on, the more
I appreciate the stoop, it's a great ground and easy to get to, it's not perfect but no where is at the moment.
I couldn't deal with Gillingham, the cost of getting down there on the train every week adds up as well to make it impractical for many of our current fans
