I think the Hive would be a good move. I'm very positive about it.

But I hope Gus isn't in charge of yet another rebirth of the club. He's had his chance at a relaunch and failed very badly.

PC Plum's just got a 'like' from me.

I don't like north London, it smells there. But it's better idea than Gillingham.

Gus out (GOUT), in any event.

Coming from the sh*te hole of London that's a bit rich!

"gritty south London" haha - I think we are getting down to who will have us, even this week Gus still claims there are still several offers, yes????

North London:



South London:

Terrible. Sun shines right in my eyes.

And the pitch is even more flooded than the Stoop was a couple of weeks ago.

Because I have a differing opinion to your doesn't mean it's not correct.


....ah, so because we now have even fewer fans than beofore, your solution is to move again.....guess what, we've moved a few times before and it hasn't worked.

Business and marketing are like sharks and swimming......and youknow what happens when a shark stops swimming!



Move again?



cover up past failings by moving?




I though accessability wasn't the problem?



I don't follow London Welsh......I voice my concerns over the shambolic way in which the club I do follow is being butchered.


Good win tonight....will have to wait a few more weeks to get my hands on a decent London broncos shirt!

My understanding was The Hive was merely a temporary home for Barnet till they moved back to their home borough, however unlikely that looks. Whether any of this has changed since Barnet got relegated from the Football League I do not know but as I said, my understanding was it was going to be temporary.

The criteria for a franchise spot was a ground with a minimum of 12,000 seats at the last round of selection. A mark above 5,000 isn't even half of the 12,000 minimum. Of the discussed venues I've seen named on here in the past, only Brentford meets that 12,000 and does so by just scraping past that number.

I'm also quite sure that a big thing was made about old grounds in the last round of selection and forced Saints and Salford to move into modern stadia, you could argue (and rightly so) that Brentford's ground is definitely not modern whereas what Orient lacks in numbers (their capacity is just over 9k) makes up for in the fact that three of the four stands have been rebuilt since the turn of the millenium so are in the modern category.

I'm just dealing in speculation and "what if's" but the only other venue I can think of is Saracens' Allianz Park. However, that is only a 10k capacity (which has shocked me), is modern and the pitch is plastic so there would be no getting kicked off to play elsewhere.

Moe I'm not sure if there are going to much said about ground standards if the new structure for Super League is accepted, not many Championship grounds are up to standard and with the current popular solution?? four teams will go up to SL1 after teams have played each other in the first part of the season. I'm sure that I read once about The Hive that there was no availability to extend.

Saracens yes but are we back to the same position we are in currently competing with union?

And you have to bus in the fans because of no trains ans buses dont they?

Yes! we are in a no win situation now, just think if we had invested in some land way back after we first left Fulham, if the RFL could buy Odsal, why did they not look at owning a ground in London then and making it a HQ for the game.
