Please don't tar us with the same brush - I'm not soulless and make one hell of a noise.

The Stoop is a great venue, very easy to get to (M3 on door step). Parking is extremely easy and plenty of it. Station quite close. Why keep moaning about the Stoop? Is there a wrong side of the M25? Depends where you live, two of us in Crowthorne, 2 in Oxford and 2 in Wallington so we all travel by car to get there, easy.

Why on earth annoy the quite happy Stoop goers to move to East London?

Or am I totally missing the point?

Just_Jillie, No decision has been made to move to the East London! just the same as no one know what our long term agreement to stay at The Stoop are, but there are aspirations to own or co-own out own ground at some time in the future so we are not held to ransom by any agreements by a landlord.

Yes you are happy at The Stoop and so are many others, but then again some never wanted to return to The Stoop or go there in the first place, support is drawn from all across London and at the end of the day the decision will be made what is Best for Our Club and not for any individuals. Personally I liked the atmosphere first at The Stoop but it was then something new, this time around I have not liked it at all, but as I said No One knows yet what we will do in the future, most important is we have a Super League Club in London wherever that may be!

What's your problem with Polish people? There is absolutely no reason to suggest they won't embrace Rugby League.

There's no reason to suggest that Iceland won't embrace rugby league but I wouldn't branch out and move to an area full of Icelandics

I think you are being very closeminded. Any community should be encouraged, they can then get behind it as one.

The last time I saw a picture of Polish fans at a rugby game, they were somewhat right wing to say the least.

Maybe we should be appealing to the Albanian community?

No doubt he is about to make a tenuous link to a current player of ours.

Yes, outside the M25.

No need to tar all Polish people with the same brush

But you've decided that they'd all embrace rugby league

And what is so radical, why?! I didn't decide it either, I suggested it might be a good idea, forget it then.

Hmmm.....not sure about you slug. Either you are on a major wind-up mission or are genuinely stupid....

Sluugy of to the sin bin for you, there are plenty of welcoming key board warriors that would be interested in you left/right wing views

Did slug not say he was a returning fan dipping his toes back in the water now we are broncos again? What a lovely welcome everyone's giving him. It's not outrageous to suggest marketing to polish people but it probably won't happen.

Going to be a long off season if it carries on like this.


Bring on the 4th of February!

I agree that the Stoop is an ideal venue in most respects, but we cant afford to just be tenants and paying masses of rent. We need a partnership with someone or our own stadium. If that means moving to Leyton (or anywhere else inside the M25) that's fine by me.

The rent we pay could actually be a whole lot cheaper than funding our own (or shared ownerships of) ground.

.....sorry, but he's either off his rocker or on a wind up.

Not so crazy the Skolars have a player from a Polish background and he has become a regular.

...so we should have renamed Polski Broncos then should we? ....what the club need to do is invite the neigbours in first before targeting the Jam Rolls.
London is one of the most diverse cities on the planet...to attempt to market yourself to one particular ethnic group takes input from wealthy backers from the "home country" and a steady flow of players arriving in London who already know how to play the game......see London Irish, Scottish, Welsh et al as examples..........
....1 player at Skolars is hardly the basis of a marketing strategy........

Positive meeting with the RFL. Rugby League in East London has a very bright future.

Trust The Phantoms will all support our on the road game!

Whoa, I never said it should be part of a marketing strategy, but just to point out that any minority in London be it Albanian or Polish, can produce RL talent. I am in favour of spreading the net as wide as possible.

The net needs to be spread a lot closer to home to start with......I would rather the club got 50 new regular fans from the TW2 postcode than 150 curious Poles....

it was only an idea after someone mentioned moving to shepherds bush, where there is a significant polish community (look it up). of course there would be little point while at twickenham, thank you for stating the obvious
