Quote: RfE "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.. d040.gif

Did he forget to settle up or 'forget' to settle up? icon_biggrin.gif

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!

Quote: orangeman "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.'"


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

Beggers can't be choosers, at least Trailfinders own their own ground and have been knocking on the door of the premiership of rugby union for the last couple of seasons.

That is true but they were told they couldn't play Premiership games there if they were promoted & had a deal with QPR in case that happened. Then they met Salarycens & it became academic.

Getting back to the thread can I assume the meeting didn’t go well. That it broke up with everyone agreeing there was little point in worrying about Wimbledon as we are likely to have no team and no fans?

You may be right BT as very odd no word has surfaced. It could of course of broken up in a big punch up & everyone is still under arrest.

If had broken up with anger, we would have heard! Watch out for fans wearing white aprons and arcane symbols, lol

Not sure why wireq has gone schtum of late. Hope he's ok.
As for the meeting, I fail to see the point of it taking place if the part time decision had already been made. Other than an opportunity to blame everyone and everything including covid 19 for their abject failure, why else would the club wish to discuss anything with a handful.of lapsed supporters?

Jason and James are putting an article together that will be distributed soonest.

It's probably best that we just wait out for that, particularly given the recent news on funding cuts etc.
