| Maybe those at the consultation were asked not to comment on the meeting. If so, it's a shame as I'd love to hear the specifics on this from the club's statement today...
Quote LondonBroncos="LondonBroncos"Off the field a huge amount of work is being undertaken in several areas to ensure that Rugby League in London continues to thrive and that the Broncos are able to return stronger for a promotion push in seasons to come with a squad littered with home grown players and a solid supporter base in our new home.'"

| Squad littered with Home Grown players == Acadamy === Moving to a part time team with a few full time "stars". Also seasons to come statement means that they are not planning for Promotion in the short term..
So a rebuilding season with mainly kids in the team, for our first season at a new home, where we are trying to attract new fans? New fans who will turn up in there thousands to see the likes ot Halifax, York, Batley, Newcastle, Bradford, Leigh take us to the cleaners, and we will be battling with Dewsbury, Sheffield and whoever comes up to avoid the drop into League one.

| If we have no ambition for SL, perhaps a move to Richmond Athletic ground would have been more appropriate. At least things would be back together with the academy setup.

Or perhaps we should have stayed put at Trailfinders? Could run 1st team, academy ,and the women's team out of one home ground with the artificial pitch.
Instead of a new dawn the move to Wimbledon sounds more lke a death knell.

With the current owner, CEO and Commercial Manager it was perfectly adequate in Superleague last time around .....the move to wimbledon is nothing more than another attempt to disguise the fact that Hughes has again appointed unqualified and incapapble people to key roles at the he club.

And it’ll surely cost us a lot more in rent than what we’ve been paying in Ealing. Which , considering our money is going to be severely cut, is an act of commercial suicide. Or possibly lunacy.

We've not been told what was discussed at the consultation event, so there may well be some "master plan" in place, but the only reason I can see for this move to Wimbledon with a part time squad is that we have been assured of a spot in SL2 which will be part of an overall switch to 20 franchised clubs in 2024. There is no other explanation.
The silence from those attending the consultation reeks of whatever plan and it's architects not being willing to scrutiny. There's complete and utter radio silence across all platforms including the so called RL Press......but I cannot for the life of me see how they expect to turn 100 fans into the 2k needed to pay the rent, let alone whilst fielding a part time side in the 2nd tier unless they know they'll be in SL2 in 2024.
As for acts of Lunacy......this is London Broncos under the ownership of David Hughes. Einstein came up with the "insanity is" saying just for us..

Hughesy "paid"for an open bar a few years ago in Toulouse.That was at the hotel we were staying in along with the team....Unfortunately he forgot to settle up before he checked out in the morning...One of the coaching staff had to dig deep eventually...Maybe its the same scenario and WQ is in a hostage situation until he coughs up...

Did he forget to settle up or 'forget' to settle up?

Don't say we have to pay for Ealing? they should be paying us, the so-called pitch?? should have been not fit for purpose by now. Seen many artificial pitches, but none as bad!

The current Commercial Manager wasn’t at the club last time we were in SL.
Gone downhill since he joined the staff!!
