Banned as I will no doubt be soon enough because I seem to notice things aren't rosey in the RL garden.
As for jaybs......he refers to me outing him as having drifted the thread as spam......its almost pythonesque. He's a very naughty boy

Why do you bother?
It's not like he takes any notice of you stalking his every move.

Oh I do. I wear his and his alter ego, ThePhotocopier stalking me like a badge of honour.
This stalking is designed to highlight my continued existence on here in the forlorn hope that I'll get another ban and the massed ranks of loyal Broncos fans will rush back onto the boards, when in reality is as I have shown above, it is more a myth than anything else that Gutterfax or Jim Pooley drove fans away. The irony is that Cranewife and photocopier add exactly nothing to these boards yet are permitted to exist as they don't disagree with the new mantra on here that either it's positive or it's not permitted!
By the way, that's over 100 words without blaming Hughes or MacKay.......I must try harder

So there you have it. If you go to the games you have your head "firmly rammed up the ownerās backside", and you all want a forum dedicated to the ego of one poster.
Because all those posts telling us what we already know about the past are really changing things aren't they.
OH NO! They aren't changing anything in the slightest.

Ignoring for a moment the ridiculous idea that the Broncos might ever again challenge for promotion, the "ability to expand" is an interesting phrase. Yes, there is the space to increase spectator capacity but that doesn't mean Ealing Council would grant planning permission for it. In fact, I think they'd be highly unlikely to.

I was referring specifically to Jaybs.
Saying that David Hughes does get a ridiculously easy time for wrecking the club.
If Broncos ever recover it will be no thanks to him.

Nadera apologies if this almost looks like stalking from one forum to another! Quite agree there is no guarantee. The site is identified as Metropolitan Open Land on which Green Belt principles of control are meant to apply. At least Ealing Council think the ground as being underused as a RU ground. And while in a strategy they recognise the need for sports clubs to meet standards set by governing bodies, that ain't a policy.

| In the unlikely event it is needed Broncos may well get planning permission for temporary stands there. The stand behind the posts looks suspiciously temporary from photos. The MOL issue may well explain why. Permanent stands would be a much bigger issue.

| Broncos will likely be playing on Wimbledon Common by that point with plans to upgrade from jumpers for goalposts if required.

| So Broncos make the middle 8 and get promoted to SL in Oct. The Super league season kicks of in Feb.
When would the upgrade happen!!!!!
I'm just pleased that the ground is all embracing. Its somewhere to walk my dog on match day. They've always said its a family sport.

| I think they'll worry about in the unlikely event it happens tbh.
Realistically it would be do-able using temporary stands, especially if planning permission was requested before the season ended. However given this deal seems to be based around getting the club to stand on its own feet financially I'd suggest it's unlikely Ealing council will be troubled by such a planning application before the deal expires.

| Perry wrote [OH NO! They aren't changing anything in the slightest. And in a nutshell that is the problem. Nothing is changing it is the same year in year out. No advancement, no passion, no fire in the belly, no owner to listen to what the club needs. That is why fans are moving away and this last ditch attempt could be the final nail in the coffin. What a stupid move. I appreciate the club needs money to run and DH provides that unquestionably but he also needs knowledgeable sports people around him who know how to run a sports club and who are listened to by the owner -DH is an intelligent man of which there is no doubt you don't attain such a living and fortune without hard work and intelligence but he is a very blinked man when it comes to listening to informative sports club people and understanding a clubs needs. Perry - you, Mickey1234, Jaybs, cranewife etc can constantly chip away at people like GF, COwgirl, Wire Quin but they know what they are talking about. They understand what is needed. They understand what is going to work and they like a vast number of others on this site and at games understand that Ealing is too far backwards for to sit comfortably with them and hence I fear an even bigger drop in fans. Another ground surely could have been found. One which would show we are not rich but has the basics like training area, decent pitch a stand and a club house. We should have been able to buy into another smaller club and worked with them. LB fans have been brilliant over the years and done many things to help the club like cleaning up after games to manning the ticket office, to SAGS and supporters clubs but this is a step too far. This season will be our last as a club with a future for a very long time. Next season may even be the last we only get 350 fans now so what is going to happen next season. And before you chip away at me to ask do I go to games the answer is yes I do and travel many hours to do so and I also do occasional away games.

| I'm trying to take a positive out of this.
Makes me wonder if the club is easier to sell playing out of Ealing; just below the SL, with no debts(DH will pick up I assume), a history of playing in the top Div, a desire from most in the sport to expand the game, limited staffing/playing costs (affordable SC for a wealthy guy), linked up with another form of rugby, P&R back in, only tied in for 3 years, possibility to look at the Wigan experiment......
For us looking back it is doom and gloom, for a wealthy guy looking forward is the club in a good position to take it on with some hard negotiation with the RFL beforehand.
Is that as creative in its imagination as the announcement yesterday
