Now far be it for me to criticise a fellow London Club but whatever you may say about Skolars we dont have to rely on a Rugby Union venue to get our games on. We also have a stand all be it with an athletics track between us and the pitch to contend with,but wherever we sit in that stand we get a clear view of all the pitch markings. We also dont have to fork out out £20 to stand pitch side in a quagmire of mud.Yes we can only dream of getting 653 at our venue unlike our Super League neighbours. Sorry ex Super League neighbours who drew thousands previously.One can only wonder where all those fans went over the years but whatever happened a wedding venue appears now to be sufficient to hold those keen enough to still attend.

And again I will ask the question, yr point us what?

Don't disagree with you Pronto I have nothing against Skolars and I don't usually feed the troll, but it's just irritating when people go on and on about the stadiums we "missed out" on when in fact on at least three occassions to my knowledge, we were simply stitched up royally.

Sorry Pronto, big up Skolars all you like, what you cannot do is make up for the crappy part of London you play in.
We used to have season tickets, but after having my spare wheel and wheel trims stolen from the car park on two separate occasions, then some kid threw a brick at my car on White Hart Lane, after leaving a game. That was it, wont even go for friendlies now.

Don't think he was bigging them up, but rather responding to a post slagging them off.

Wood Green may not be the nicest part of London and it certainly isn't the Disneyland where some posters on here live.

Ok cheers for that. Best move on.

That is exactly it. I like to think I am realistic when it comes to the limitations of my club. Bigging them up was not the intention. But I will certainly defend them when justified,

Needless to say sorry to hear of the
damage you were on the receiving end of but I have been fine on the rare occasions I`ve driven over the years.

Sniping at each other is just daft cn must be loving it.
What both bunches of supporters should be looking at is what can be done on a council park.
Lots has been said about ealing and how it can never expand etc, was that not the same situation copthall was in?

Leave me out of it.

Broncos unfounded superiority complex is to blame.

Which explains why you lot still can't get your head around why Skolars would rather pally up with Wigan.

Nah don't think I should leave you out if it you started the thread.

Maybe instead of looking at it as a negative and as always put a negative spin ion things look at Copt copthall as an example of the possible, don't you think before the development of that stadium people were saying what some are saying about trail finders.
By the way CN yr last thread missed a few words. "In my opinion" blah blah blah

But there's very little chance of Trailfinders being developed though is there? In spite of what DH has said on the subject.

Why? If trail finders go any further in y he RU world they have to improve.
Besides as I said many months back it is something that was being muted in Ealing well before we were going there.

As I understand things, Trailfinders ALREADY have agreements with Ealing Council, should either club playing there require extra stands, you see, some people make stuff up to suit their point, others make a phone call and ask.

They've had permission in place to put up similar stands to the ones I used to sit on at the Stoop for years. That's the facts!

"They can't expand" and "They won't get planning permission" that's something made up by a*holes (not you Rob, I'm well aware of who gave out the mis-information regarding permissions at the ground) to emphasise their point!

Another glaring example of hypocrisy.

You whinge to high heaven about thread drift normally so please explain to me how slagging off Skolars is pertinent to a thread about a former Broncos ground?

Selective reading and seeing what is not there again well done. Have a look chap I have not slagged off skolars or any other club, in fact I actively discourage anyone from doing that. The fact a couple of people on here got into a sniping tit for tat I merely suggested this was your whole intention in starting the thread.

Actually what I was suggesting was copthall is a good example of the art of the possible. Before it was developed in am pretty sure there were enough people saying it was impossible to expand that facility due to planning issues

My intention, as always, was to point out the dismal way the club operates.

As for the art of the possible I doubt Trailfinders have serious ambitions to play in the Zurich Premiership.

That leaves David Hughes to develop Vallis Way.

Nuff said.

How did London Welsh "stitch you up"?

What is an "old school tie"?

Cliche-tastic stuff. You only need "public school" for a full house.

OK, OK

We weren't in discussion to take over at Coptal when Sarries came in with a budget busting offer.

We weren't in discussions with Hounslow Council over Lionel Road when London Welsh announced an interest, said Council dropping us like hot-coals.

We hadn't expressed an interest in using the smaller Hockey Stadium when the Olympic Legacy Committee decided the Legacy was best served in a Landfill site in Essex!

It's all in my mind!

Your right and I'm wrong, happy now?

As to "old school tie", it was in the inverted commas for a reason and I never mentioned "public School", you did. What do you mean.. full house? Are you suggesting I'm suggesting an 'Agenda', NEVER!.....Not me....Honest Guvnor.

Am going to throw in a couple of questions for you cn..
Why do you feel the need to constantly point out what you see as club failings? Don't you get it? We all know the problems, what are you hoping to achieve.
Apart from ground issue why would ealing place restraint on there ambitious, Exeter didnt

Parting shot then I am off, that's me done, see you at skolars..then posting again within a couple of days, you are very hot on hypocrites maybe you need to peek in the mirror.
Or is the reality you love the broncos really and just can't tear yrself away.
Welcome back mate,

Goading me to respond micky.

Didn't know you missed me so much.

& like you said I wasn't gone long

No goading at all, just making comment, honest answer in reality wish you had stuck to your word and stayed away

So why ask the question ? IMHO, you are one of the worst offenders for dragging out pointless conversations. Maybe you are the one who should be staying away.

I don't start pointless threads though.
At least I talk about rugby now and again and show some interest in the sport.
Discuss?
