I get attacked on here for speaking my mind, especially with regard to the attempts (sic) to make any progress at the club made by the CEO....apparently he's not making a complete hash of it....70 pies sold last Friday....give the guy a medal
Simply put....if I had suggested in 2009 in my infamous 20 point opus, that we revert back to the broncos name to clear up confusion and move to Kent or 3,500 seater training ground, I'd have been laughed off the forum.....fast forward 4 years and it is now being deemed acceptable.
No effort has been made to engage the locals in Twickenham.......it is yet another move to cover up the total inability for the club unber the ownership of DH to identify and target an audience through below the line marketing strategies that are quantifiable.

| In today's current financial climate the RFL should be looking at its Super League criteria. The Hive seems to be coming along nicelyThe Panorama from the bar / restaurant
Main Stand
And it can't be worse than Cas or Wakey!

I'm trying to see where people have come out in support of Gus or go on about him not making a hash of certain things on this forum, or have deemed a move to Kent acceptable?

| Some comments from BarnetSteve on The Barnet forum:
South underhill moving. Next year and corners being filled to make a bowl within the next few years. Negotiations with london broncos under way but they arent the only ones looking to groundshare, and if they come then membership will cover bronco games.
In the conversation I had about groundshare the guy said it was extremely likely that we would be groundsharing with a different sport. I said I'd heard about Broncos and he confirmed they were keen and negotiations were underway but it wasnt a done deal and if it didnt happen they werent the only option. We had a brief chat about the rumours that Tony had recently been looking at Wasps but I'm not convinced they are one of the interested parties as the Hive would be too small and I dont think the pitch would cope imo.

| Thanks for the update. The Hive looks the least bad option as things stand at the moment.

| Interesting, chronicler. I am based in Chiswick and cycle to games at the moment. The Hive is 24 stops on the tube....worthwhile for a committed bunch of players, doubtful if some of the current team merit it....

I come in to watch each home game from Cambridge. Why whinge if only coming in from Chiswick, FFS?

Hive = 3,500 seats....it signals the level of ambition at the club.....regardless of where those seats are!

Would it be too difficult to rationalise what you say, in the context of the figures you constantly regurgitate, something like
Hive = 3,500 seats, which given our current attendances is more than sufficient, particularly as ground capacity is over 5k. Hopefully the club will be aiming to fill this modest capacity week in week out, paying a reasonable rent for the privilege and investing in marketing and brand awareness, and in due course be looking to develop the ground further to meet increased demand. That would signal the level of ambition at the club.

It's a ground that is being developed. First phase, 5.6k; suggested second phase with corners filled, 7k. Training facilities are magnificent. Take out the personalities involved and the fact that it is yet another relocation - both are a given I'm afraid - and I would say that the Hive looks an increasingly exciting option as a base for years to come. Well, I'm excited anyway.

| Still no idea as to why we are leaving the Stoop apart from the money rumour.

My view is that they have no need of us anymore, we are just small change nuisance.

2008/2009/2010 we would have been close to or actually filling the seats on 24 of 39 games.....rationalise the fact that of the last 33 games only 10 of them would have been in the same category.
The club has been dismantled to the extent where you are happy to accept a 3,500 seater stadium.....no ambition regardless of rationalisation!
