Would be the best think to happen in my opinion. It is getting to the point where it is do or die for them.
A move the Olympic stadium would get them huge coverage, the whole country would know about it and lots would be written about it. The transport to the stadium is second to none and there would be huge potential to increase the average towards 10,000. I know people will worry about the stadium looking empty but I don't think RL in London should worry about that. Playing there will have its benefits. It throws up potential for Internationals at the stadium and other RL events.
I would love for this to happen. Seeing them move to another small venue in London will do nothing for the clubs profile, the attendances will not rise and nothing will change. The club needs to raise its profile, a move to this venue would do exactly that.
Still, it probably won't happen.

| It'd get a few extra interested travelling fans, but not too many local fans who will have already seen the stadium IMO. Think it would cost them too much personally.
If the costs work out, go for it. But I think it might make more sense to use The Os ground and take the odd game on the road to the Olympic Stadium (or the soon to be QEII).

Think that sounds like a good plan too.

That would be the better option, mind you if they moved to the Olympic Park it might shut Karen Brady up.

| Would they be keeping the running track? Because if there's one thing I hate it's a stadium with a running track.

| Please don't be silly. I have more chance of beating Usain Bolt in the 100m final than the Broncos have of moving to the stadium.
Move along, nothing more to see here.

That depends.
IF no football club is to move into the stadium then it will be used for athletics for the long-term and athletics alone. If this was the case they might return to the original plan to scale it down to a 25k arena which is more manageable. If this was to be the case then it would be a great option for the Broncos. No rivelry from football clubs along with the stadium needing a regular tennant. Only then could this be a serious option. If West Ham/Spurs move in then it is a total no go. However if the plans for the downsize were to go ahead then London would be the only tennants, this would give them huge coverage along with a great stadium to play their games in.
This London 'project' will not work taking it to another small venue where they will never be heard of. The club needs to be in the eye of the public gaining attention. Then maybe it can work. A team playing at a venue like that spending to the cap with a good team will suddenly attract the attention of all the Aussies and NZ's who live in London. I reckon it would work a lot better than moving to another nothing venue every 5 years when they realise nobody is turning up. It lacks ambition.
The RFU are planning to go to drastic measures to make RU work in the North, RL can do the same.

| London need their own stadium, they can't just keep moving around here and there, they need their own home, somewhere they can lay real foundations into the local community and go from there. I personally don't think that this 'get the Aussies and Kiwis in' idea is the solution. I don't think the staff who are running the club can be trusted at the moment, signing Jarred Hickey being an example of the incompetence on show at Broncos HQ. They still haven't announced their shirt sponsor yet have they? Nor is their website fully functional. A shame when Hughes is pumping so much money into the club.

| For Gods sake please don't let us move again! We need to put down strong roots and to up sticks and move again would set all that back again, and there is nothing wrong with the Stoop. The only way to build the crowds is through having a successful team - we have been garbage for the last 3 years, progressively getting worse. The idea that Aussies and Kiwis will come and watch SL in numbers is also garbage 1/ They think SL is rubbish compared to the NRL (might have got a few if we had signed Lockyer for 1 last season) 2/Many of them take weekend trips to Europe and aren't here to attend.

| There is Nothing wrong with the stoop as a stadium. Also very close to home. But as a club long term We have to find something that is Ours. Difficult I know and sometimes seems like a distant dream. But Mr Hughes is not going to be around forever and like an adolesent we must begin to take on the outside world without Dads support.

It might not be the biggest of stadiums but it is better at the moment than Hull KRs, Cas and Wakey and maybe possibly Bradford (due to seating, and a roof on each stand). It looks that down one side it has good hospitality areas. I know the opposite stand looks very dated though and is a downside to the stadium, but for me if my club could have a tidy ground like that and was a bit bigger more up to date I would be happy

| I think the o's are dying to move out of that ground. And build flats on it. Already had some built in the corners.

| As a ground i have no problem with Orients but while the soccer season is in full swing we will have either Orient or West Ham (at the Olympic stadium) to compete with over any weekend assuming that the soccer clubs dont want to play on the same weekend as ech other.
What are Orient hoping to go to if they are dying to get out if the ground is a decent one? I cant believe they would want to relocate out of the area.

| Although moving to the Olympic Stadium may get some precious column inches, it will be awful for watching the Bronco's.
The Stoop, doesnt have much atmosphere when there are 3000 there, just imagime a similar number of people in a ground 8-9 times as big.
Orient sounds much better.

| It'd be nice to see London share the ground but realistically, it'd be pretty stupid as they wouldn't get nearly enough to fill it.
I doubt they could afford the rent either.
