| Quote ="Rob from Erith"But why postpone this game? Surely Adams park is a much more suitable venue than Esher? Ok it's outside the M25 but it's got to be easier to travel to on a Saturday than if it had been kept the game for a Friday night? Who knows how long this farce of the drainage and the pitch will go on at the Stoop? It sounds like we've found a decent venue at short notice so let's get this game on in case we really have no choice but to postpone a game at a later date.'"
We have a home stadium, we bought season tickets to watch our team play there, we should play our games there like every other team would do. Completely agree with DSWG.

| Good call DL count me out on this one. If this is another one off, why not play at the New River and support London RL?

We have home stadium with a pitch that's unfit to play on! At this rate we'd have had to postpone 2 games so far - if Wycombe is available then let's get the game on!

We are talking Gus here. A man who it appears expects people just to turn with next to nothng match day marketing. I do hope that the sporting public of High Wycombe are made aware by Gus and his team of when the game is taking place, the KO time and against who, but i won't hold my breath.

| Is there any parking near ground. Stopping Hemel hempstead would a train in be a better option.

| So roughly 30 miles from The Stoop, nice 'home' distance.
If you do get kicked out by Quins though, it is one of the better places to re-locate.

| Just to say this ground is a right old walk from the station. As previously mentioned it is a long way but it is also up and down hill. It is years since I made the walk but I do remember thinking 'never again' and I'm someone who walks a lot compared to many.

Then postpone 2 games. Leeds are 2 games behind yet I haven't noticed a single one of their staff or supporters bleating about it.
Its funny how this pitch has suddenly developed this appalling drainage issue. I don't live far away from the ground and it has hardly been raining on a persitsent basis lately and isn't due to do so in the next week.
This whole situation stinks IMO and we aren't being told the whole truth. Something isn't right.

| I wonder whether the fact that the Grand National is at 4.15 that afternoon was taken into consideration when this game was re-scheduled !!

| Cancel the games, but do you have a guarantee from the landlords that they will let us use the pitch?? Next I expect to hear is we need to work on the pitch, make repairs and re-seed immediately our own games are completed! then we need to give it time to settle.

Complete rubbish which is why I think there is more to it. The pitch was bad but not that bad and the weather in South West London has been fine recently.

Final nail in coffin re arguments in favour of finding a way to stay at The Stoop. Even Brentford didn't b*gg*r us around in this way at such short notice. Where will we be next season? Who knows - at present the odds are on nowhere.

| I'm wondering if Quins have been leaned on by the RFU, not because it's RL, but because they want the pitch in the best feasable condition for what is a showcase TV game.

Plenty, car parking right outside ground, not sure of cost though, shouldn't be more than a fiver, I wonder if our car park tickets are valid, they should be honoured.

Yes, fair enough - but this doesn't happen to other clubs who groundshare with union, or, for that matter, football clubs.

What's rubbish then? are you alleging that Broncos are telling us porky pies that they would not allow us to use the stoop on Thursday and already a week before a game they tell us again we can't use the pitch.
Come on tell us what your genuine thoughts are that lead you to say, there is more to it?

Whats this some Expedia review for old people to take note of. Its not some holiday its a game of RL-Just go and enjoy yourself.
Not recommended for people with vertigo or small children 3/5. Change the brochure

| Anthony Rea (aka "Tony Ray"icon_wink.gif has decided to throw the game away against Warrington. So Bradford is a must win.
It will help the players if 2,000 London fans can show up at Wycombe. Bradford is likely to bring hundreds of fans.

Lets stop whinging and get there and follow the boys

No ta.
That dump would be bottom of my list even if the club laid on stretch limos with a free mini bar.

| Regardless what you think of New River better to put money back into London RL than RU for what hopefully looks like a one off game.
