Thank goodness for that reply, was getting worried that you had all of a sudden become all positive about life, good to see the negativity has Benn restored.
pretty sure you wanted rid of Mr Hughes you saying you want him around now

No Michael. I want Hughes to pay 2 million for a 20 year lease as by way of apology for utterly destroying the club in record time.
As for the negativity....we finished dead last and were relegated. We will now play in a lower division until the rfl change the insane 888 system regardless of the enthusiasm of a 2nd tier coach who has signed a load of mates to the club, including a retired blokwe who was a miner. Excuse me for not being delighted with what has unfolded at the club

By the way Michael.....looking like wasps will be buying a stadium for just over twice what Hughes wasted over the last 6 years. Given they are a total basket case in union it shows how badly we've been managed by the broker and his cricketing administrators.

Whereabouts are Wasps moving to? Or are they just going to build a new stadium in Wycombe?

Ah, you're back in the groove again gutters. You make a totally irrelevant comparison of course. Do you think that DH should have moved us best part of 100 miles north of Harrow? That's just about half way from London to the M62.

How is it irrelevant? As for Hughes? He can do what he wants and has done so for a few years now.....
Remind me how that has worked out for the club?

Instead of asking me vague questions, how about answering my specific one?

David Hughes could have moved us to Jupiter and some fans would applaud him. Personally, I'd accept Coventry in OUR OWN STADIUM rather than the arrangement we currently have......we are still searching after 3/years for anyone to even take us in for more than a year.
So yes....compared to what h did, Coventry would have been less damaging

just reading the article in regards to wasps new ground... it shows how rugby league has fallen so behind... union clubs securing grants for stadiums, Low crowds, players leaving to go to union, poor sponsors no internationals... The RFL really need to acknowledge that there is a MASSIVE problem with our sport.... The only way we can get out of this whole is asking the NRL for some guidance

The NRL understand expansion and the benefits of having a team in an area that opens up the game to noew fans. The NRL and the clubs understand the need to adapt and merge to survive. The NRL appreciate the true value of their sport and how to extract the most revenue for the game. The NRL comprehend the benefit of employing administrators from outside the sport to drive it forwards.

We have Fat Nigel and fans that applaud cheap tickets, but who wont pay full price for anything anymore.........the game as a professional entity is as good as dead outside the top 6 teams in the UK.......it could be self sustainable and even dare I say it, profitable....but as long as you have benefactors like Hughes flushing cash down the toilet, it will always struggle to achieve even 10% of its potential.

Totally agree with you, rugby league in the UK needs a massive shake up

whey hey their was even a random percentage thrown in for good measure!!
So you are saying you would be happy to see LONDON rugby league move to Coventry?
Now I know you are mad

Insanity is most assuredly the domain of David Hughes flushing £15,000,000 down the tubes over 6 years...

....and I didn't say I'd be happy to move to Coventry, I said owning our own stadium there would be preferable to the current situation

No it wouldn't.

Well, the good folks wno own wasps seem to think it makes business sense......

Firstly we are not Wasps, if I had any interest in the sport they play, then I might be interested in what Wasps supporters think of the plan! Second, so the bloke who lives in NZ and does not actually come to any games (Ok 1) is the one person on here who would be happy with a move like the one Wasps are doing.
Oohh look Keepmoat stadium needs some money, why dont we buy that and move up their!!! would that stil;l be acceptable to you Gutters?

No Michael... That would be stupid. Coventry is £10 advance return by rail and 1 hour.......like reading and the exiles.

It's true that Union has improved the administration of its club game no end, while we've had various fat idiots sat in Red Hall assuming that the garden is rosy just because the bit they can see either side of them along the M62 looks OK.
But spinning the move of Wasps to Coventry as a positive is taking it a bit far.

I think the fact that Saracens spent 16 years playing in Watford, 'London' Irish play in Reading, 'London' Welsh play in Oxford, and 'London' Wasps will be playing in Coventry is symptomatic of something else. It suggests to me that for the large part they've given up trying to promote club rugby in London (I discount the double header, that's their version of the Magic Weekend).

Thing is, given how we've moved around and couldn't market water in the desert, is it any surprise that we've had even less success promoting club rugby in London?

Why is Coventry like reading? Please expand.

So what we have established here then as far as you are concerned as long as we own our own ground it does not matter where we are as long as its no more than a tenner on the train? Not sure how far you are looking to book ahead but I can't find yr tenner tickets

Just in case you missed it, it's London Broncos

As you love yr facts and figures so much, cov 1 hr ish by train then bus to the stadium 45 mins. We have people moan about 10 min walk from tube station
It's near enough 100 miles from London btw

Michael. I appreciate you will applaud anything the club does as a positive, but the harsh reality is that under the current owners stewardship we have lost out identity our fans and our SL status. We are actually Fulham crusader bronco harlequin broncos....we've played at more grounds than you've had hot dinners and until the said owner departs we will be stymied by his narrow mindedness. I have not said I want the club to move to Coventry by the way.....I simply said that it would be better to own our ground there than to roam like s being moved along and as welcome as herpes

GF - the said owner nearly departed at the end of the 2013 season. You're a well-informed bloke - could you tell me how long the queue was to take over from him?
