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!!

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.

Indeed, pretty decent setup.

| 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.

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.
