You can't praise something that doesn't exist. What discussion would there be if we just praise everything the club does? The way the club is being managed at the moment at the moment is worse than at any other point in memory. Hopefully once the season starts there will be something positive to talk about on the pitch.

Surely the worst management period, in my memory, was that when the club squandered the opportunities raised by Branson's interest and potentially bottomless pot of money, topped off by the publicity generated by a Wembley cup final.

The club also lost all the fan/customer profile data it built up during that period

I have always been of the opinion that Branson's expectations were unrealistic in terms of time scale. Looking back on old match day programmes recently, the club seemed far more professional back then especially. The fact that they began stopping us fielding a team full of Australians didn't help, I will concede. It just seems to be one farce after another since last season ended. At least all we really had to complain about last year was the terrible team, especially after those bleating about the West Stand being opened got their way. Now they seem determined to fiddle with everything else.

Good points well made. One off on-the-road games surely wouldn't give much that of an indication to the viability of a longer term move.

Firstly how long would QPR take to build a new stadium with all that comes with it beforehand? Then surely the cost of sale would be high, i'm sure a nice housing developer would be prepared to pay a higher price for the land than Broncos would for the stadium.

Loftus Road is a brilliant stadium, I would be delighted if we moved there permanently. A proper ground with a proper history. Someone told me their are quite a few Polish people living in Shepherd's Bush, they would love Rugby League in my opinion.

Yes Under The Sticks lays down his opinion well, but I and others do not agree with it, but at the end of the day it is what is best for The Club! and they will make the decision after a lot of thought and business consideration.

What is Quins decide to kick us out at some stage, if we do not have any contingency or long term plans/aims then we are in one mess, what do we do then? I have worked for no business where there has not been a long term business plan and aims, one radio station we had superb facilities but no chance of purchasing the building, it took a long time but we found much better profile premises.

The reason many visiting fans like the after match events is that is part of the union game and it is new to them still!

It is not a matter of in the future sharing with a football club, it is Owning our own ground or co-owning that should be the only time when we really move, if it is our choice and not one given to us to leave.

They say QPR is not very good for parking? it is so long since I visited and of course I don't know what transport connections are like Tube?

Those at the club are hard workers and more experienced than any of those posting on these forums. I'm one of the group of previously disillusioned supporters making tentative steps back to supporting London Broncos - everything looks great at the moment.

Slug we are such a Minority here on the forum! I will always back any decision! yes voice my opinion but then Move On! IF ONLY many could do the same and make the most that we have a Super League Club and ensure that is how it stays.

All that is certain is that I will be at the opening game with my 1999 Fosters shirt, in the West Stand I think? Not such a great view in the East from what I read, I've never been to The Stoop.

Transport???? Central Line 10 mins walk, Circle Line (ex Hamm & Fulham) 5 mins walk, Overground (to Clapham & Willesden Junction) 15 mins walk. Countless buses, huge amount of parking within 10-15 minutes of the ground.
At least a dozen pubs closer than the nearest pub to the Stoop, huge variety of eating, from McD and Nandos to pie & mash to Syria, Greece, Thailand.
The only place better situated to have a game is in your back garden.

The thing is even if Broncos did want it and they thought it was a great option how much would it cost to buy?

I really can't see them affording it.

If that is the case why is it being looked at? as I said earlier even St Helens did not have a lot of money, only from the sale of Knowsley Road which in the end was around £8 million, the new ground cost £26 million with regional funding, council and sports grants they managed it in the end! One of the conditions was that St Helens Town FC could use the ground, now as the ground is nearly completed Saints do not want the football club as it will be too costly to open the ground!

Hopefully the west stand will be a bit more lively than it was last season.

If the club (QPR) sold the stadium i'm sure there is price somewhere in the region of what Broncos could afford BUT selling the land rather than the Stadium would surely get more money.
I'm sure the business man that owns QPR would be looking to get the best price and even though he seems like a great bloke doesn't seem like the one who would do RL a favour over making a decent buck to invest back in to his club.

It's similar to selling a car, sell it in one and get one price, strip it down and sell it in parts and you'll probably get 3 times as more.

Loftus Road should be a valuable site, but it wouldn't get planning permission for anything but housing, and the fact there is a very dodgy 30s housing estate right across the road makes it an unlikely place for up-market flats. Any housing development has to include a proportion of low-cost social housing. The dream ticket would be for QPR to go into consortium with either Fulham or Chelsea to build a new stadium. All the social housing would be at Loftus Road, all the for-profit stuff at Craven Cottage or Mordor, where it would earn top dollar. As there's only one council to negotiate with, they might get away with it.

Doesn't leave anything for the Broncos though...

Said the other week that QPR fancied moving into Chelsea's ground if Chelsea move.

For me QPR is an awful ground for rugby of either code.

The rumour about AFC wimbledon was that if Wimbledon move that LBRLFC would share the stadium. Its ok playing a one off in east London but I dont think in the long term it would be good to move over that way.

Best seeing in the long run what Wimbledon and Brentford have if there is a need to move from twickers

The pitch is just too small. It's the smallest pitch I've ever seen used for rugby above Conference level. The seats are uncomfortable (inadequate legroom) although you're very close to the action with the stands very tight to the pitch. I think it was the first Football League ground to be totally covered on all four sides (presumably mostly built when they moved back there from White City in the 60's) but by modern standards it's outmoded.

Anywhere is better than The Stoop though, right? I couldn't see any rugby last season, I was that far from the pitch.

Sight-lines are fine. Place is soulless though.

There's even more of them living in Ealing. Maybe we should groundshare with Ealing Trailfinders?

Why do you think Poles would like Rugby League?
I can only recall one player, Kacala?
Whatever his name was, he ended up in RU with the Cardiff Blues.

Well they do show Super League on Polish tv.
