Ian Ramsdale on Twitter reports that Harrow Council yesterday upheld local residents' objections on use at the Hive. Apparently of particular concern was the use of a large stand and the power and angle of the floodlights. This does not bode well for the Broncos, is there a Plan B?

Gus never even had a plan A.

I think this was re an application to extend a stand and double the height of the floodlights. As such it probably doesn't directly impact us. It seems clear however that the last thing the locals want is more games played there. I doubt we'll we've made too welcome by them if we do move there.

A local news report is on-line here... www.harrowobserver.co.uk/west-lo ... -33807763/ It doesn't mention the Broncos at all.

Off to the knackers yard, GOUT

I assume the possibility of our going to the Hive went hand in glove with the possibility of the Barnet owner providing new investment to the Broncos………with planning permission issues and local resident objections set to run and run, this surely is no longer a viable long term home option for the Broncos…………which also means the new investment will not be forthcoming either……..ergo, we are stuffed. I suspect Orient etc have been discounted because we will not have the funds to pay the required ground rent, what with DH likely to call it a day. I honestly think it`s game over and we will not have a club next year.

Soon you will be unable to do anything in this country, as residents will complain about everything, one time people just accepted what the council did, near us we had a development object on a former pit site, it was by the side of the M6, so they were going to build a direct exit/entrance to the motorway, it would have brought 4,000 jobs to and been a central hub for distribution for many companies, it all came down to around 25 houses/residents, not wanting it?

Hi Ronnie.

At the last home game, my mate who is well connected at Quins said we still had the offer to play at The Stoop (and in their view, we weren't being asked a huge amount of money to do so).

Whether that is still the case, I don't know, but one would imagine so.

Hope to see u and Mrs Quin at an LB game next year.

A more pertinent question would be, is there a Plan A?

That's my bet, another year at The Stoop so we can have another year prioritising a stadium move and achieving nothing.

I wont be getting another ST at the Stoop.

Have some sympathy for your view, Tre.

For me, it was a big mistake telling fans about a proposed move last year.
What the hell has that acheived, apart from unsettling the fans? It's not like we have any real influence on where we play.

We will be playing at wherever is cheapest, imo.

I think DH has decided it is sorted out this season or he throws in the towel. He will not keep going throwing money down the drain at the current rate with attendaces of under a 1,000? as we get thrashed every week. Getting in players from Oz good enough to make us competitive will not be on 1 year contracts either and we need quite a few. At the Hive the owner was keen to have us and we probably would have been secure for a few years there and he would hopefully have invested in the club. If that is not possible i think he will just give up the ghost as the club needs to be able to stand on its own feet more or less as he cannot maintain these losses any longer with a losing team.

Was that the Parkside/Hermitage Green one?

When I was a teen I worked on Burtonwood Air base that had been transformed into industrial units, they built houses next to it, 2 years down the line they successfully petitioned the stopping of night deliveries even though they'd had night deliveries for 10 years.

Same here, it's been bloody appalling at the Stoop this season, and not just on the pitch! Truth be told the previous one wasn't much better so no ST for me either, will probably just do a few games as used to be the case years ago.

Hi Ann, yes be good to meet everyone at LB next year, but who knows whether the opportunity will still be there. If not, we have made some great friends from following the club over the years, nearly 20 in our case. I'm sure we should have regular reunions somewhere even if the club are no more.

Just when I was praying we were leaving Twickenham for good there's a chance we could be staying??!! With my current feelings on the club over the way it's run, their attitude toward the fan base, the dross shown on the pitch and no new signings there is no way I'm renewing my ST either if at the Stoop for another horror show of a season either. However if there is something positive announced by the club about the future I may reconsider.

Has Copthall never been discussed, hop out of one union clubs bed in to anothers?

They apparently cant share with any other club on their licence I think. Probably only allowed fans who don't cheer or shout in leafy Barnet.

They said The Stoop was still an option if they wanted it for another year. And since Gillingham's out, The Hive seems unlikely, and Orient probably too pricey, my bet's on The Stoop.

What about High Wycombe? The stadium's nowt special but Lister and I would bankrupt ourselves going to the Bootlegger every fortnight.

Are you saying the Stoops cheaper than Orient?

Ive always said as long as we play within London or near as damn it (travelcard zone) I would renew my season ticket. Would be happy enough staying at The Stoop but my real concern now is whether the squad wherever they play will be
competitive enough to justify the outlay. Its not the cost its the fact that those running the organisation appear to have such scant regard for those of us who still bother going.

Although I'm not a Stoop enthusiast, that could count as good news as it would surely mean the demise of Gus. And seeing as the RFL have obviously had plenty of involvement in the ongoing discussions they might even be able to assist in the appointment of a new chief exec. (Yes, I know it's the RFL, but even they can't do worse at executive recruitment than DH has done on his own.)

Does anyone have a ball park figure as to what DH is worth and the general yearly costs of running the club?
