| Not everyone has the money to donate, this doesn't mean we are not true fans or fans that couldn't care less. Of course we all care, it's why we put ourselves through this week on week and buy our season tickets. We are not all cash rich exiles living here and there to avoid paying tax in this country. Also why would anyone want to put more hard earned cash into a club with a coach who doesn't know one end from the other. You can buy all the top players you want but without a coach who knows what he is doing nothing will change it would be a case of throwing good money after bad.
ps Stomingbronco why did you buy the cheapest seat possible a couple of games ago when you were at the stoop if you think money is the answer you should have gone to the gold seats.

| Organisations that innovate sometimes fail and sometimes succeed. Ruling out what may seem odd ideas could suggest failure is round the corner and is based on making no changes or taking risks. Although one thing is for sure, QRL needs help both financially and also through practical support to build a strong base and a new direction. It is time to get our heads out of the sand and look at new ideas no matter how mad they may look, who knows what the future holds? Taking cheap shots at each other is unhelpful when I am sure that we all have one thing in common here and that is for QRL to succeed.

| Whilst I applaud anyone who comes up with anything in the way of an idea that "could" help the club, surely there are people at the club who are paid to come up with these ideas?
Hey, what the hell. Put me down for £150 a year if you ever get it off the ground, but to be honest.....on the pitch performances are the least of the clubs problems.
As I said...finish last and the "development" ticket may save us, but finish last with the wost average gate and we'd better pray that Salfords Stadium is all pi55 and wind.

Salford City Council and Peel Holdings have taken over the stadium development up there and things seem to be getting started. They are jointly paying for the ground and recouping the money from the surrounding developments. Salford RLFC will then be the primary tenants, possibly alongside City or United reserves.

Could anyone on here imagine Richmond Council paying for a stadium and giving us a £350,000 sub? That is the mountain we have to climb, they have a 80 year start on us!

I said I would contribute to a scheme that was managed and designed to help bring in some talent NOW. DH contributes enough to development and community work and as nobody would ever consider raising a fighting fund for promotion or marketing, I chose the lesser of 2 useless Evils.

not sure this is that significant; local authorities are going to find hard to justify such a spend in the several years of financial austerity that are just around the corner... keeping schools open or funding a white elephant

| I think we should quit SL, get a commitment from 1500+ fans to buy a season ticket for 3 years, rename ourselves London Broncos, find a compact modern stadium where someone wants us and go semi-pro.

as down as I am on the club, do you really think we should jump before we are pushed?
Semi-pro would mean being dropped from SL and if you look at the gates of teams such as Widnes when they ent down, I think we would be lucky to get 500 people signed up to a 1 year ST, never mind 3.

| No way- Investment in youth is the only way to go. We are suffering today because we didn't invested early enough(I know we have a great programme now which will bear fruits) This is a transition period to greater things.
Leeds, Saints and even Wigan(this year) are sticking with home grown players- The clubs(through the SL rules) want English players- the likes of Wakey etc(just an example) although above us currently will get caught out either by lack of home grown players or finances
We just have to be patient.
Recent history in some sports show it is difficult to buy success- Man Utd, Leeds RL core foundations are built on youth teams. You look at clubs in sports that have bought success Blackburn, Leeds FC etc and it is short lived. The Broncos are an example of that.

| I'm beginning to realise why Big Mac isn't worried. He's playing the long game. He knows that we'll eventually have the talent coming throught he ranks. Those young players he's blooding now will gain valuable experience from playing in those matches.

He made an interesting comment on the radio on Weds about being disappointed at bringing Kyle Bibb in on loan - he would rather have relied on London Youth

| London youth is definitely the way IMO. LMS and Clubb are just the tip of the iceberg. It may take a few years, but we will become very strong because London players and not in spite of them.
Plus because they will have come through the youth ranks, they will probably be on low wages to start with.

Unfortuantely we do not have time to wait and see if they are any good or not. Clubb has been a pedestrian so far this season and LMS' impact seems to be decreasing every week.
I'd sooner see us bending the rules with a team full of foreigners tbh, at least we would be competitive rather than "blooding" half cooked youth players who are nowhere near the standard needed for SL.

| Clubby and LMS have regressed over the last two years. If the same happens to all of the other talented young lads coming through then it will all have been wasted.
There has to be a balance between local kids (and they are just that, kids) and imported talent (whether from up north or over the ocean) and the club just isn't getting it right. And that is the coach's fault, he has put this squad together no-one else. For example, Wilkes is a good player, not great but a good super league player. For him to leave Wakefield and come down here the club must have offered him a very sizable increase in his wages. Is he worth it? Instead of signing Matt James and Ryan Esders would it not have been better to sign one big bugger prop forward?
I know it's a difficult job, but I think Brian Mc is consistently getting the big calls wrong which means we have a championship team playing in ESL. Ultimately, that puts off fans and investors.

Very true. Concerns me the same could happen to J O'C and Ben Bolger

Which is why I would like to see someone new at the helm.

If only we had a talented coach coming through the ranks. When does McD's contract run out ?
