| Presumably that will be impacted by the ground grading rules in whatever they call the championship next season.
The better non league football and non professional RU grounds may well fit and would be cheaper than anything that meets SL criteria. I have no idea whether the clubs would be interested but I'm thinking of the likes of Dulwich Hamlet, Wingate and Finchley and Met Police FC plus Rosslyn Park, Richmond and Ealing RUFC's. Back to Esher anyone?

| Will be a terrible shame if true and a further spiral down hill to oblivion. I cannot see Richmond accepting us, Rosslyn Park is difficult to get to - almost feel it would be better to pack it in?
I was actually quite looking forward to next season - to see if we could be competitive at that level.
My only question is how relaible is the "source" and is it just a negotiating technique?

| Agree Richmond is very unlikely given there are already two teams playing there. You'd think they'll need summer for pitch maintenance and I don't think they are short of money so rent won't be that enticing.

Source hasn't been wrong/far wrong on any info over the last few years......I have no reason to doubt its accuracy. As others have said.....TK seems very quiet on the topic, even when asked. The RFL won't be sugar coating 2015 with a marketing budget....so it's over to Hughes.

| The attendances are as good as anything Barnet can muster so I guess Kleanthous isn't impressed with the take up of his cockamamie membership scheme.

That just isn't true.
Take last weekend,
At least 500 of the people there got in free either as kids and parents from local schools, friends and family of players, U19s, U16s or Barnet FC members, several hundred only went because they were offered free food as well. It's also very noticeable that when a crowd declared as 1100 for a Broncos game, it looks significantly smaller than an 1100 crowd for a Barnet game, it has been blatantly obvious to me that the figures have been boosted to ensure the crowd stayed above 1K and some of those games I am still unconvinced there was 1k+ in the ground .
I suspect Barnet FCs average of 1700 represents a 90%+ paying entrance, of which 1350 are home supporters, I would be surprised if Broncos figures of 1200 represent more than 70% who actually paid to get in and of which I doubt more than 5-600 are Broncos fans. So next season with no big clubs coming you are looking at sub 500 crowds imo.

I reckon crowds would be around the 600 mark.
So we'll just have to rally & stay up.

| Let's be a bit honest about the situation today. The Club is more professionally administered (whether through "handouts" or whatever else) than it has been since the Lenaghan days.
We have what seems to me to be a professional, decent, hard working, honest and enthusiastic Coach who has already started to implement his plans for next Season.
We have a core of young talented London players, not all we will keep, to build a team around for many years to come.
If the rumour on Barnet its true then let the administration find another home that's appropriate - hopefully back in West / South West London where we belong - and let's get stuck in.

| Yes, but where, exactly? Seem to remember that we're at The Hive because they were the only people that would have us. Are we going to end up ground sharing with the Skolars?

This!
Seeing as , if the rumour is true, we're on the move again change the name to London Nomads and have done with it!

| We should just merge with the Skolars and play at New River. Would do both clubs the world of good, us in terms of permanent facilities and them in terms of players who can actually play.

| Can't see Skolars being interested either to be honest. Most of the Broncos players would look north or to RU rather than the sort of money Skolars can offer. They'd also lose the opportunity to use Broncos lads via dual reg. Most Broncos fans who want to watch one of the southern Championship One teams already do so their gates won't boom. In return for all that they'd be merging with a toxic brand. Shouldn't take them too long to laugh any merger talk out of court really.

please....feel free to plough back through my posts on this London board and find the "lies" I have posted? My source, as I have said, has been 100% spot on in relation to the clubs administrative woes over the last few years and I have no need to doubt them this time.
If you prefer to stick your head in the sand and wait until the fat lady has had her encore, packed up and left the arena, then so be it, but simply saying:
"gutterfax posted it so it must be wrong/incorrect" shows you for the narrow-minded fool you are.

| Gutterfax... I'm not an apologist for you but I do find it unconventional that you receive so much stick for stating the bleedin' obvious over the managements lack of discipline from fellow LondonRL aficionados. Keep posting I say!

Narrow minded fool - that's great given you don't even know me. Its like me calling you a prick. Baseless.
You are a man of facts - I like that but not so relentless - one fact you have avoided to date - who is your reliable source ?

| It may well turn out to be true but at this point it's a rumour. Either the second year option of the current format is agreed, a new deal is put in place, a new location sourced or we are homeless and perhaps Bradford is the wake. However at this point there are a number of options.

| gutterfax is a very informative poster, I'd hang on every word, were they not so frequently repetitive,
I've no problems at all with him on this thread. And I wouldn't expect him to reveal his source.

You are correct, but I have been in contact with three different people at the club on separate matters and not one of them is aware of us being homeless in 2015. Now they all might be liers, or not in the know, but how high up the food chain do you need to go to find the reliable source - David Hughes ?
