Indeed.



Long story.......let's just say I am glad I did!

So was Gus, I bet.

I always picture him moving there so he can build a hideout in a volcano and stroke a cat.

They were short of netball marketing specialists.

That's one up on Gus.

He has so much free time on his hands he's probably a netball ogling specialist

Nah......that's blowfeld (sic). Apparently I'm blowhard!!!!
And Hughes is more junk bond than James.......

I know nothing so don't have an opinion. BUT... "It would also help immeasurably if the Broncos had somewhere they could definitively call home. This season home was Barnet FC's Hive Stadium and a deal has been done for next season, too. But Loubser was unable to give any assurances that the Broncos would be playing there beyond 2015." www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/29192021

Good to hear 2015 re-confirmed by the Bronco management again. Interesting piece of information I've just heard from someone who spoke to David Hughes on Saturday is that they are trying to get a 20 year lease at the Hive so it sounds like both sides are looking at a long term agreement.

Fingers crossed that the two sides come to an agreement for Broncos long term future.

Heard the same....hughes looking for 20 years at.£100,000 a year payable up front. AK may well take the deal as £2,000,000 would help his development fund

Well £2m in the hand......

That's fantastic news if true and is EXACTLY how he should spend his millions first and foremost.

Is worth 20 years in Edgware?

Could be!!

I've heard a whisper some of our new players have been advised to look for digs in the same sort of area our players lived this year. Indirect source but usually reliable. Seems to add some weight to the previous posts.

Please, please, PLEASE let it be true!!!!

Would bloody love this if this is true. Thanks for some Good news Meliferra!

20 years!?! Jeeze, unheard of levels of stability

In a stadium with temporary planning permission and Barnet FC committed to a return to Barnet?

I can tell you that one player who is going there next season told me he is going to live in Edgware, so he and his other half looked up Edgware road on a map... til I told them where Edgware was.

The planning permission isn't temporary, it's permanent.

Yes Barnet FC are committed to moving back to Barnet, but the stadium won't be coming with us and will remain for London Bees and international teams training for Wembley games plus Broncos if they stay. Also regardless of whether Barnet FC get a new stadium in Barnet, the Hive will remain our training facility and there is no way TK will want to dismantle what he has already built.

The Back2Barnet campaign has slowed from it's original push 12 months ago so I don't expect Barnet FC to be going anywhere in the next 5-10 years. There are a lot of hurdles to overcome before South Underhill can be turned into a new stadium for Barnet FC, both political and practical.

Yep to all of that.

A 20-year (or similar) deal would be great for all concerned, I think.

Would love to hear an announcement and then a membership push for 2015 asap.

Agreed.

And this thread could then be renamed to "Homeless in 2035", and we could all stop worrying about it for nearly 20 years which would comfortably see me out.

It would be great for London community rugby league if that 20 year deal included the U19's playing at the Hive too.

Plus maybe the London junior & senior grand finals / representative games?

Would continue to strengthen the great gains that Joey has made with community clubs in 2014?

Let's hope so, used to really enjoy the U19 games at the Stoop a few seasons back - often they were more enjoyable than the first team ones!
Would be a great idea to hold the community finals at the Hive too

Speak for yourself - I'll only be 83 and looking forward to having more years of whining, wingeing and complaining ahead of me
