The current Commercial Manager wasn’t at the club last time we were in SL.
Gone downhill since he joined the staff!!

It’s not as though we weren’t warned about him

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.

If had broken up with anger, we would have heard! Watch out for fans wearing white aprons and arcane symbols, lol

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.

I'd have more faith if it were Jesse James

Or Sid James.

Glad to see you are alive & on first name terms with the Broncos menagerie.

The wording/tone of his post strikes me as pointing towards "bad news".

Firstly, I sincerely hope Mr Hughes is in rude health. I'd be the first to agree that I've not been complimentary as to his management prowess or severe lack of it over the years, but that is purely on a "disgruntled fan v crap owner" basis. His health and happiness are not the targets of my ire.

Secondly, I'm not sure what else J&J could add that will in any way smooth the waters.

A/ If it is that we have been selected for either SL1 or SL2 and are therefore in a "treading water" scenario, both playing for nothing in 2022 before being granted a place in the 'BRAVE NEW DAWN" and the deluge of abuse we'd get from pit village central would hardly have 'em queueing down the length of Plough Lane to watch us. That said, I reckon we could get some "jingoistic" mileage out of the us v them norvuners malarky.....
B/ If it is that DH has agreed a time line before he pulls his funding, then it better be accompanied by the news that they're seriously not going to continue with the move to Plough Lane. 200k on a pitch is too insane to consider when it could be a fraction of that in Richmond and have more spent on the team

I am at a loss to figure out what else would warrant yet another release after the RFL/SL have shafted the game south of Widnes and Hughes has yet again spat his dummy out due to HIS team not performing as well as he wanted.

BTW....I seem to recall referring to the move to both Barnet and Trailfiners as being BRAVE NEW DAWNS.....what is it that Einstein used to say about repetition and insanity? Maybe me and Mr Hughes have more in common than we think

Anything but!

What could they say that will make things any worse

Gus Mckay starting as new CEO next Monday.

As bad as Gus was (we lost about a third of our average attendance under his watch), they really tanked at The Hive under his successor and have never recovered from that.

It was a difficult choice on who to pick but went for Gus as he is such a figure or mirth.

That first season at The Hive was truly grim. It really was an effort to attend games.

Lucky for me then I was never able to get to the Hive.

I got to the last SL game there....it was awful. Both teams were heading for the trap door...it was like being at a wake

A classic bit of London that one. Shaun Morris, who had been told he was being released, equalled the club record for tries in one match so they promptly tried to re-sign him. Strangely enough he joined Wakefield instead.

Sadly a head injury, on his Wakey debut I think, ended his career. Last I heard of him, he was living in Australia.

Sean Morris could do no wrong in that game. Sad for him that it all went wrong at Wakey.
.
Did he not come to the Broncos from Oxford?

I think he did
