| Quote ="Horatio Yed"Well i'm a Wire fan and have been an enthusiastic supporter of rugby in London but won't be going to this game, not because i'm sulking or stamping my feet but just because i disagree with this in principle.
On the road in London i get, London is a huge place though (600+ square miles) and yet they can't find about 7000 sq metres of land in that area?
The Stoop to Gillingham is around 50 miles, so if you asked a Warrington fan or Warrington's marketing department to play a HOME game 50 miles away to improve attendance in the future at the HJ they'd think you mad.
Warrington playing a home game in Batley to the East, Lancaster in the North, Stafford in the South or Rhyl to the West, it's daft, it wouldn't work and it's a waste of time and effort.'"
problem is, it's not about raising awareness of the game in London or even the south east...it's now about trying to justify a move to Gillingham permanently in the misguided belief that 5k there for a 1 off will be replicated 13 times in 2014.....it won't.
They got 3,900 last year, with a great many of those freebies or association with the medway stampede event........the average for 2012 was 2,800......the 1,100 above average was mainly medway kids........they won't come back when it's a tenner with a ticket for dad a score.......but by the time the club realise this, it will be too late......

| 3,386 is the average for Wire back at the stoop over 7 years...last years crowd was the worst ever in 17 seasons and 19 visits BTW...where the average is 3,649.

| I went last year as my girl was playing in the Dragons' festival. I'll probably go this year as I know a lad in Gillingham who expressed interest in going along although I'm tempted not to - dont want to encourage them to move there. As we all agree it'd be utter madness and would kill off a fair amount of you loyal long serving fans from going. I'm certainly not in that category but I did get to 8 games last season, if they go to Gillingham I suspect the only time I'd see them is for the Magic Weekend

| This thread sums up the club. The game is being played in a venue that no one wants to go to.

Sadly, the Skolars are in Gateshead that weekend, Hemel have a bye weekend and Oxford are away in Rochdale that day.

| well, they 'lied' about engaging the 'fans' when it came to the name change, so don't expect anything different with the choice of Ground.
Bottom line is DH will shunt the club wherever he wants....let's just hope the RFL licencing board are prepared to accept Gillingham is in London
Gillingham Sea Eagles anyone?
This logo as the main sponsor..
...with loads of free advertising on the radio and websites as well as in the paper....
...or will it be Medway Electrical and Mechanical Services....maybe the local chippie?

Bongo explained it well. Why support this farce and encourage it. Hopefully a pitiful crowd turn up.

Hardly. Gus will spend half the budget on marketing and dish out 2k freebies in the hope of moving the club down there on the back of the "bumper" crowd it will get.......

| RFL dont want it. Fat Nige Woods likes the space he gets at the Stoop.
We wont go there. The cricketer will be long gone (like th erest of them) and his pipe dream will disappear
TR wont allow it anyway-

Why would they veto?? The RFL might see it as expansion.

Maybe because it wasn't what we had in the license application. I find it surprising the club did not need tenancy secured at The Stoop for the duration of the licence.
