Perhaps it is what was expected! I would rather it have been in London, but then does it matter what fans think?

The Medway club have shown that given enough time for a one off game like this they will shift the tickets for the club and make it financially viable and well supported. From a purely financial aspect as well as 'numbers on seats' (seemingly the main league table many forum posters seem matters) its an obvious choice.

Presumably this will co-incide with the Medway Dragons weekend again? Should be a good atmos again if it does!

Here we go-Gus get ready for the incoming

Can't disagree! well organised club for a One off Game, but my worries are more long term than an on the road match!

If the cap fits ...

Have a look at their website for plans

And six months before the event and even better two months before the season even starts the club have confirmed all the fixtures. Clearly an improvement in planning and communication whether people agree with the choice or not.

As long as they don't run out of beer this time ...

I think the locals will be informed and learn from last year.

I really do hope in the future they play Wigan at Gillingham. Would love to go to that match. I would even try and get some of my old mates from the Medway area to come.

So, if the game is marketed people will turn up? Never heard that one before

I blame the prison warder!

At least it's only one OTR game.

Must admit I would have preferred re-visiting Orient.

I just don't see the Medway towns as being a viable target market. Compared to London - I just don't see how this works. Okay, so there's the Medway Dragons. And they're doing well. Fine. But that's not a weather vane for moving the whole operation there lock stock and barrel. With these on the road games we're taking our eye off the ball and it concerns me greatly.

Agreed.

Agree Fully! but I do get worried how we keep looking to Gillingham, is Gus going to see this as our future?

Would that be a bad thing? The stadium at Gills is probably big enough for you. Would still classed as an expansion club in the RL's eyes. Just might have the stability you need.

If we lose london from the name that is the end for the broncos. Better to stay put there needs to be a big effort in the local area. However I doubt this given our past history. The otr game as a one off is useful to raise the games profile although I am not sure moving to Gillingham will be good for the dragons who may have their own vision of the future.

Yes.

London Invicta. Still use the London name and use/incorporate the White Horse of Kent. So potentially still the Broncos of sorts.

I don't see how you can be both London and Invicta. How many London based fans are going to schlep to Gillingham every fortnight? I can tell you I wouldn't. We might settle into a 3-4000 crowd average but I fail to see how we'd build on that. Outside of the Medway Dragons club I don't see any evidence of RL really taking hold down there.

Moving out of Greater London is a complete non-starter if we ever actually want to develop a larger fanbase.

It may attract more people in Kent, who want to see some top flight sport. I think Gills is the only team in a major league, i can think of. With the exception of cricket maybe.

The football club doesn't attract that many. Half of that might be realistic.
