He seemed to be doing a decent job with academy.

The decline & fall of the Roman empire, Broncos style.

Hughes should hang his head in shame..........4,500 fans and a SL side playing in a rugby only stadium is what he got dumped with. If he'd shrugged and let us die then, fair enough, but he's pumped millions into the club and doubled down on major errors.

I still get annoyed that we reverted back to the broncos because Hughes was told that school kids thought RL on the quins shirts was rugby lessons......and then we bought the web address londonbroncosRL.com



He really doesn't think anything through. He's let the last 2 CEO's run us into the ground.........Neither were qualified and neither MADE ANY GAINS in their tenures.

I see no light at the end of the tunnel for the club, which has now alienated the skolars, let the scholarship slide and is betting everything on yet another ground move and some pointless and badly planned above the line advertising.

I see that they've sold maybe 500 tickets so far for widnes....that's 10k in revenue ........Metro & Standard adverts cost a tad more than that........

No argument from me orangeman you are spot on and this last CEO and is monkey are proving to be the nail in the coffin. Not a single clue between either of them and the sad thing is advice they have been given from people who know the club inside out and in the real world these people hold down good careers and also have good business acumen have been ignored. However, we are not surprised as we have been here with Gus when he disbanded the SAG unit and its been downhill ever since

The bottom line is we have a semi pro club run by amateurs.

I'm not sure they are good enough to be called amateurs Buzz.

I’m assuming Hindmarsh and Walters aren’t signing. Wonder where they will go, if anywhere. Cornwall, Leigh, Union?

Rumour on TRL that O'Donnell has left

If turns out to be true that’s a shame but if he or we are unhappy better he goes early than later. Concern is depth of Championship ready players in our squad. Suspect this won’t help.

Who is he? Has he played for us before, been bought but quickly moving on or is he youth coming through??

I probably couldn't name 5 of the current squad

Done worry WQ, doubt Hughes can either!

I'm sure the clubs new Social Media chap will keep us updated with the latest news

If he has left, that's quick to get homesick even by northern standards.

Looking at Google maps I’ll be getting homesick by the time I get to the ground! typical journey time 1hr 20 to 2hrs 10......yikes. That estimate doesn’t give me much comfort.

Yikes! You walking to the ground?

Google maps says that option marginally slower but who knows.

By car or public transport from
Ealing trailfinders 47 minutes or 1h33m
Barnet FC 1h5m or 1h39m
Griffin Park 33m or 54m
The stoop 23 or 45 mins
Charlton athletic 1h17m or 1h36m

Seems the best lapsed fans to attract would be the ones 20 minutes away....seems any locals picked up in Barnet or Ealing aren't of interest....maybe if the club ran a coach for a tenner from trailfinders they might get back some kudos?
Reality is the club have gone all in here........personally, it would be 90 minutes each way if I lived in the UK.....I'd be picking and choosing games and if that is what a lot of existing fans are doing, then they need locals and lots of them......and as I've pointed out, there is already a top flight egg chasing side 20 minutes away and newbies won't differentiate......

Parking is extremely limited so that cuts out cars. You also have to take account of sunday reduced rail services, and waiting time for trains. For us switching from car to Ealing, to train => tube => bus to PL, it went from door to door 20 mins to almost 2 hours. You then work out a £5 parking fee (one car) say £5 in petrol vs about £60 on public transport (3 people), and you can see the impact to us.

I do apologise if the Parking has been sorted, as I don't subscribe to LB anymore, and did not buy a ST this year, I'm not on the communication loop with the club (not blocked by them I hasten to add, I just did not subscribe to them any more)

From Luton by car 1hr 15min - 1hr 50mins. That;s a big chunk of the M25, so from personal experience you can add another 30 mins at least to that.
By bus/train 2hrs 2mins -2hrs 14mins.
Here's one lapsed fan who won't be returning.

It may be worse than that. For years my nearest team was Hemel, 44 mins a good run. I chose to watch Oxford, 90 mins to Iffley Road, as I regularly got snarled between joining the M25 clockwise at the M3 through to the M1. Every third run took me up to three hours. Anti clockwise usually looked even worse between Heathrow and the M3 / A3.

Can you get a Thameslink train from Luton to Haydons Road?
Might need to change at Blackfriars but it could be another option for you.
Would take about 1hr 20mins even with a wait to change trains at Blackfriars.

Declan O'Donnell confirmed as being released at his own request after "struggling to settle in the capital."
