When last season the club got round to sorting out the refund situation season ticket for season 2020. Which was late summer/early autumn.
We offered to give up half our money and have the balance as a credit for season 2021.
We we're told that it was not possible for reasons which we would be made aware of later.
Now it is obvious that that reason, was the move to Wimbledon.
With the start to the season just a week away. Where are we with regards to knowing where the club will play. Nowhere.
We have bought season tickets, with games to be played somewhere within the Greater London area.probably, but not definitely.
With hindsight, the move should have been arranged for next season.
Yet again the club have got itself into a giant muddle. Fans are being alienated daily. It is so frustrating!

I doubt I will buy a membership for this season and the reasons are all of the club's making.

I get Ealing isn't SL standard and we have a desire to get there. Why didn't we stay at Ealing for one season longer and negotiate a new ground in the background for next season?
Home advantage for this season is now lost, plus a number of fans it seems. Bizarre.

Wire -quin, I could not agree more.
I have bought a Membership to watch The London Broncos. Yet I have no idea in what part of London that will be.
It is bizarre !!!!!!!!!!!

Completely agree with wire quin too.

Given the pandemic, any right minded business would be looking to normalise its operations as soon as possible to generate revenue. Things are uncertain enough given we don't know when fans will be allowed to return but to throw a ground change (that isn't even a done deal) into the mix seems rather daft. What we do know for sure is that previous ground moves have lost fans. Were we at the end of a contract with Trailfinders ? Since we are not in SL this year we surely didn't need a SL ground.

I believe the contract at Ealing expired at the end of the 2020 season so would have needed renegotiation if we stayed.

There have also been - unsourced - mutterings on line Ealing wanted a hefty price rise if we stayed however; given the lack of clarity around this process, who knows?

Don't think that's too far off the mark. Ealing look as though they are going to push hard for promotion with a deal to play in the Premiership at QPR if successful it seems, so would be looking to maximise income in this way.

Only rumour and cant confirm, but have info that club are in talks with RFL to get approval to use AN other ground in the event of further wimbledon delays or god forbid a no vote

The club had said they have other options to play games so surprised if this hasn't happened some time ago given season is due to start !!

Are your unsourced muttering from the broncos side or Ealing trailfinders side ?

It was posted on an RL forum so probably Broncos but it was unsourced and uncorroborated.

Neither

The clubs position is now ridiculous. They say they don't wish to comment on some things, let Dons speak first (quite rightly but they don't need three months exclusivity.) However given the above comment, they appear to be commenting to certain fans.

Ludicrous.

Not me because a certain person has blocked me.

Errrr i said neither! So not sure how you are getting thatn

I said it was unsourced and uncorroborated. You said neither, which means you know otherwise to my reading.

Edited to say if you can find a formal club statement confirming Ealing wanted a substantial price rise I will apologise. The end of the contract was public already.

Edited again to say if you can provide a club statement the ground share had been extended to cover the 2021 season I will also apologise.

But exbronco asked if it was from broncos or trailfinders, i simply said neither

So where's your proof then? You have confirmed it is not one or the other. I flagged doubt. You said it was neither. What is your source?

Edited to say I stand by my offer to apologise if you prove me wrong.

Edited to say I have watched the club since 1995 and have had, I think, season tickets in 18 of the last twenty seasons. The two were at Barnet though I still watched the club regularly despite living in Hampshire.

Full disclosure, I am also am ex Skolars and Oxford season ticket holder. Bar the two season at Barnet I was a dual season ticket holder. I started watching the sport at Prescot Panthers. From memory I had a Skolars season ticket for three years and Oxford for four though I think I only missed fout Oxford home games. I have also seen many Broncos and Oxford away games, and a few Skolars.

I've also seen you officiate at Aldershot numerous times. I'm not stirring. If you can prove me wrong I will apologise.

Assumed it was a quote from a league site

As i said, i heard a rumour simple as that, it was not from any official source, club press or orginisation. Simply a rumour from someone who seems to know whats going on. How they know i dont have a clue!
Seems it was right though!
As for me in the middle at Aldershot, not for a few years now, no longer with that society.

Not really sure what you are asking me to prove though halfdan. I said from start it was just something i had been told

People who were worried about parking at the new ground I read somewhere that there is parking for up to 100 cars so anyone with people who find it hard to use public transport can still get to the games.

The AFC Q&A document says 100 spaces for disabled fans but that is inside ground & a limited number of parking spaces. Can see no evidence of 100 parking places though.

Wandsworth Council are tightening restrictions in the CPZs around the ground to limit further street parking.

Might not affect us as I imagine they'll be Monday-Saturday?

Sadly no, the suggestion is Mon-Sun in order to cover AFC games & other events that may take place at the ground in order to protect parking for local residents. Of course some may be pay & display but even AFC describe this as a public transport destination.

No idea how far Wandsworth have got with canvassing the locals before making a decision though.
