Only when it gets to the middle 8

Actually this relegation works for me, as Sheffield and Donnie are just up't road from Derby, so thats two away games I'll have no excuses not to go to. Summer Bash is defo' a possibility too.

March 21/22 Challenge Cup 4th round June 27/28 Challenge Cup QFs
April 19 Challenge Cup 5th round August 1-2 Challenge Cup SFs
May 16/17 Challenge Cup 6th round August 29th Challenge Cup Final.

August 8/9 Start of the Super 8’s September26/27 Championship Semis
October 3 – 4 Million Pound Play-off and Championship Final.

Weren't Premier planning to show it in 2014 until the RFL sold the 2015 rights to Sky under the impression, so we were led to believe, that Sky would show the weekly rounds?

Upon which Premier understandably pulled out in a bit of a sulk, having shown it in 2013 (and earlier?).

That's my understanding

When do we find out who we play at the Summer Bash?

November the somethingteenth I read, so in about a month, maybe 17th.

Our "new" bitter rivals? There are 3 full-time squads in the comp, so expect much wailing and gnashing of teeth from the semi-pro outfits that get to play a full time team.

Indeed, Fev only received 50K less prize money than Leigh, but they are going part time.......ambition eh ?

wasn't that bloke from Probiz supposed to be bankrolling Fev to SL? What happened to him.....?

As I suspect you know, it's nothing to do with ambition and more to do with financial realism. Our ill-advised dalliance with Nahaboo left us in a fairly precarious position in money terms and it would have been reckless to have attempted to go full time. That's why Leigh now have Greg Worthington



Most Fev fans are overall relieved though that we are getting back to basics in terms of how the club is being run. Overstretching financially can be disastrous and indeed it's less than 18 months since Leigh's most recent financial crisis, which was by no means thier first in recent years, so I'm not sure being smug about "ambition" is a sensible approach in modern rugby league.

Well said Phantom, some common sense instead of yet another club hitting the buffers.

I think long term you dodged a bullet when he cleared off.

The saga with Probiz at Fev was predictable, given the run-in Castleford Tigers had previously with the company.....and West Brom too.
It would appear that those clubs that realise their place in the pecking order and who then cut their cloth accordingly are more "content" with their lot and have happier fans as a result. This motley crew would now seem to include London Broncos to a certain extent, although the number of happy fans is far outweighed by the sheer volume of those that have left.

You won't find many Fev fans who would disagree with that. Still lingering after-effects for us as a club though, I've already mentioned we've lost Worthington and it sounds like we have one or two other contracts from the frivolous-spending days that are not helping our cause. Still, it feels like we have got our club back, and we should be reasonably competitive next season even if our dominant days at this level are gone, at least for now.

At least it sounds like you have a long term plan. Trust me, there's no such thing at the Broncos.

my vote for the bigf bash should be our huge southern rivals and closect Sheffield!!!! However I put my actual money on us being top bill againast Bradfurt

It will be Sheffield, from a very reliable source.

As long as it's not the same reliable source other posters use.
Do they try and do the derby thing

you mean the one who said we would be homeless in 2015.

.....that's the fella. Same one who announced we wee safe in dec 13th 2013 and who announced that gus was leaving a month before he announced it. Same bloke who also confirmed that th RFL had provided the landlord with a marketing budget for 2014 thus easing their conscience about the level of assistance offered Bradford whilst ensuring their nice symmetric league if 14 ran its course.
Plum. Problem with pointing out the times I am wrong I'll counter with those when I was right......The thread will drift and more 40+year old posters will leave these boards.

Yawn

Well Michael,
I am happy to debate the accuracy of my posts when they are questioned. If such debates "bore you" can I suggest that either the idiot stays in his box or that you stick me on ignore, because you are starting to look and feel like the Cranewife, who added absolutely nothing to any debate on these forums.
In regard to the accuracy of my thread, entitled "Homeless in 2015", whilst the title was ambiguous, the actual thread was correct. London Broncos RL and the Hive have renegotiated the 2015 T's&C's, with a temporary solution in place for the year should nothing come of the more "long term" negotiations going on. The feeling from those at the RFL who are party to these discussions is that The Hive are keen to lock us down for a considerable time, but the "value" of this deal is up in the air, because nobody knows if the chances of promotion are in fact, real. The RFL say they are, the club believe that they are, but the landlord is yet to be convinced. There is also the question of a discount should David Hughes pay for the duration of the lease "UP FRONT", which he is keen to do, as it will enable him to pare back his investment whilst enabling the club to survive.
The biggest difference for 2015 in the temporary solution and the one agreed back in 2013 is that Hughes is bankrolling the "Marketing Budget" that Blake Solly gave the Hive previously.....so the comment that the Hive were unhappy with the 2015 agreement was in fact accurate. The lack of a question mark in the thread title in fact resulted in 300+ posts with at least 50% of them you and a few others attacking me with no basis and the rest me responding.

Not content with that, PC Plum has now dragged it into a different and unrelated thread......congratulations.

If you don't like my responses to your dull drone feel free to put me on ignore.
Inter sing that it's not the rfl now it's Blake Solly! Is their anyone you like?
so the important question, who we getting for the summer bash, this thread is about fixtures.

By the way pc plum wrote 1 line 10 words if you include 2015 as one word so not really drift.
back on thread, do they try and do derby type fixtures at the bash?
