Think that is 2 waiting on visas & assume may be more to get to 28/29 players.

https://twitter.com/londonbroncosrl/sta ... 79522?s=21 Says we are playing at Cherry red records stadium which is Kingsmeadow. AFC and Kingstonian old ground. It’s a nice ground as has parking. But I can confirm anything other than this tweet

There's no chance they mean Kingsmeadow. It now belongs to Chelsea, they are extremely protective of their pitch. Kingstonian FC were made homeless to reduce pitch wear and tear as part of the deal that saw Chelsea buy the stadium. There's zero chance of a rugby league team ever moving in I suspect

Oh my bad I just googled cherry records and it brought me to Kingsmeadow

So what do we reckon we will see from the remaining 9/10 we have signed??

A large number of Academy lads signed up?
More from the Queensland / Nsw cup??
A few loans??

I'm guessing a mixture tbh

My money remains on a few day tripping northern based players to help provide a spine to the 13

Then why not name them if they have signed. Drip feeding players at this level doesn't get the pulse racing at all.

The quote from MonkeyLover said 20 of the 28/29 signed are new. Might narrow it down.

There are various parking options depending on what is suitable to individuals.

Queens Road Car Park is a flat £2.50 on a Sunday. Only ever seen it full in December. 1.5 mile walk with bus or train (to Haydons Road) options.

Off road parking in multiple roads at about 0.5 miles away. Either no restrictions or Mon to Fri until 6:30pm. Industrial or park so not really used by residents. Parking available during week days, I suspects lots more on a Sunday.

Earlsfield station is closer than Wimbledon station, around mile (with bus options). Tooting Broadway Northern Line about a 20 min walk. Haydons Road 10 min walk but closed about every fourth Sunday. Kent travellers I suggest Northern Line on those days.

For the supporter from Egham you could walk, I did this year! Seriously I’d drive M25/A3 or cut through if you prefer. Should be 45 mins max if traffic reasonable.

I’ve driven to lots of places in London in the last 18 months that I’m not familiar with. Top of the list is can I guarantee to park. So I know the concerns of being “stuck”. Wimbledon wouldn’t worry me as there are many options. My only reservation may be is the driver mobile enough to walk a mile. If so he/she can worst case scenario drop off less mobile passengers at the ground before parking.

Based on the projected attendances I honestly think the local non residential roads will more than suffice. Unless the attendances are huge and even then I assume a lot of away support with very limited numbers of them driving I’d guess.

There actually is a lot of parking in the ground. The catch is that it’s available if only the main stand (4,000+) is used. If away fans get their own stand, it’s tricky, but MIGHT be feasible. Lots of cars in the stadium (officials, players) etc for AFC Wimbledon ladies with attendance around 1,600. No segregation though and beer allowed (not allowed at men's league games of course) at our seats

So, 19 announced. 13 new and 6 current. That would mean 7 more newbies to come, and 2/3 current (prob academy?)

Not got my own recorfss on my iPad, but I has 19 Nené's signed last week, with several since.

Bingo
My dad is in his late 70's and not able to walk long distances (but still mobile enough to not be classed as disabled). So anything more than a 5 min walk is not an option. Yes we could drop him off before parking but its still not optimal compared to the stoop, barnet and trailfinders when it comes to parking.

When we at Brentford \ Charlton, he was much younger so train trips to those grounds was no problem, but alas now we really need to be close to the ground, and I'd rather be at Egham town football with him, then at London RL without him.

Its not a dig at the dons by the way, I'm sure he would love to be able to walk from the station and go on the train,but his health just wont allow it

We are the market leader in PT Antipodeans (which is what a few of us suspected when PT was announced) so I reckon we’ll continue down that route. Would be nice to have some British players but for reasons we have discussed previously RL is one of the few jobs where Being located in London is a drawback and for all the talk we have had only minimal success in getting player in from the North on PT.

I assume they are no more retentions but that we’ll be bringing through a batch of academy players to bump up the squad.

Thanks Smithers that offers some comfort.

I've used Egham Station Car Park so that wouldn't be an issue for your Dad distance wise, but the other end wouldn't be good, so certainly drive for convenience and cost if you attend.

The drop off point isn't great for drivers, but takes him to the door.

Five minutes suggests maybe 400m. Ideal is Waterside Way virtually opposite the stadium. Assume your Dad isn't the driver you can drop him off and the other adult 20m into the road (it's wide at the beginning). They can walk to the stadium. 200m on a non controlled crossing with dropped curb and a central (middle of the road) standing area, or 400m with pedestrian traffic lights. 20mph speed limit in Wimbledon and I'm sure many drivers would pause for your Dad. Main stand has stairs to enter, but your Dad will be allowed to use the lifts to hospitality if they are too daunting.

Meanwhile the diver is likely to find a spot in Waterside Way. It's a long road so lots of options. No parking restrictions (beyond yellow lines at some points) that I'm aware of. I think that's your best option.

Ramon Silva leaves for Wigan to join KPP

Could always go online and look for a Just Park parking space.

So weve got 9/10 players still to announce. So if we are doing this before next week, we better get a move on.

The way things are at the Broncos who could blame him for leaving for SL?
Real shame because by all accounts he sounds like one of the Academy players who could have really stepped up and done a job for us next season.

How long before Lennegan claims him as one of Wigan's own?

I was thinking the same of Wigan, Deadcowboys1.

Agree! As long as he remembers what Wigan did to Chris Hankinson! streets of Wigan are not all lined with Gold!

The fault lies at The RFL door, ANY Super League Club signing a player Under the age of 20, should pay a compensation fee, minimum £2,500, that's pocket money to them.

Was thinning along with Wigan poaching from us, are we likely to suffer the same from Hudds now they have Tommy T on their staff? With his knowledge of our Academy players I think we could lose a few lads to them too.
Sadly.

In my BARLA days Clubs were supposed! to pay amateur clubs £50 when signing amateur BARLA players, the number of clubs we had to chase, and they never did part with just £50

Not heard much from Amateur clubs about paying the membership fee to the RFL? someone else refers to WW1, well the RFL are a bit like that, only the generals, clueless!
