All those grounds listed except Gillingham are OK for me location wise, but I still think The Stoop is the most suitable for this club. Millwall and Crystal Palace are closer to where I live but they're far too big, as is Charlton, so I'd be surprised if any of those worked out more cost effective. Orient is too small (albeit by only a few hundred) unless the RFL revise their ground criteria or give us special dispensation, while Brentford by definition is obsolete otherwise they wouldn't be looking to move to a new ground. I wouldn't say I "won't accept any move", but all things considered none of them represents an improvement on what we already have as far as I can see.

If the rent situation at The Stoop is really untenable I can't argue with that, but then why has the owner been pi$$ing away millions on the team year after year while practically giving away season tickets and failing to come up with an effective strategy for increasing attendances? It's the usual lack of joined-up thinking. The strange combination of inertia followed by the sudden realisation that "something must be done", resulting an a knee-jerk reaction. We only reverted to the club being called "London" last year, yet now we're apparently considering a move to Kent. It's barmy.

When the club became Harlequins Rugby League in 2005 and moved back to The Stoop my feeling was it was the final throw of the dice. If that doesn't work nothing will - certainly not squatting at another football ground. I haven't yet changed my mind.

Interesting that so far, of the 4 grounds that have been mentioned, Gillingham is #4th place.....but the Media seem to think it is a done deal.........noting like the club having it's finger on the pulse of fans feelings eh d040.gif

Millwall is pretty compact for a ground that holds 20 odd thousand.

Moot point though as the Old Bill would never let anyone groundshare with them.

What's it got to do with the police? None of their business whatsoever.

And I reckon they'd do a decent deal on rental tbh. But IIRC Hughes or McKay made a comment once about the reputation Millwall have not being right for us. But a scag-filled town like Gillingham's better!

The future of the club has to be ground ownership. All rented venues are just temporary stop overs, so I would go anywhere that it is a reasonable commute, Gillingham included.

Should be concentrating on the Merton and White Hart Lane possibilities. The New River Stadium has only 1,000 seats but is rated as over 5,000 capacity, one of the 6,000+ seat 'temporary' stands at the Olympics being taken down in a few of weeks could be reassembled across the running track and terracing on the other side from the existing seating and you could have a 7,000+ seating 3,000+ standing arena superior to a lot of grounds in Super League at the moment for a few £100,000. I can't say how much the councils concerned would want to turn a net cost piece of land into a rate paying proposition with more sport being played in the borough, but I hope not very much.

If our team costs went up this year from a guessed £1.2 million to £1.6 million this year I know where I would have rather spent the money.

P.S.
Thank you David Hughes please spend as much as money on the Broncos as you like, in any way you would like to do it.

I agree entirely. I would be prepared to swallow a move to Kent only on the basis that it is a stop-gap move until we move back in a year, when a new partner will have let us share their stadium. Anything else is a jump off a cliff (and that always ends badly)
