Agree fully, not certain yet! about the possibility of it being a future home ground.

Apparently we have had a crowd of 12,301 at the Stoop....if we match that at Gillingham then the move will be "on"



June 26th 2010 was the last time the club got a crowd of over 5k.......I suspect that if either Gillingham or Orient get a better gate than 5k, then the circus will be moving East...

If we match 12,301 at Gillingham some of us will be watching from the car park - the capacity is only 11,582

. As the Football club only gets an average of 6,000 to home games im not too sure what the potential long term is there. We are bound to lose many fans on the west side of London and how many we would pick up on the Medway is a mystery. Wonder what the savings on the hire of the stadium would be.

Let's Hope that the amateur rugby league players in the East will get behind these games, then we can really start, and really work on re-branding and re-establishing Super League for the future in London

Incase you have not sorted your tickets for the Orient game yet, the e mail I received from the club last week advising
me to exchange my West stand ticket for the Gallery ticket suggested I could do so in person on matchday which I did, as opposed to via the post.

Im assumimg as a Challenge Bronco season ticket holder, you can also apply via the post if required and that you will probabaly get a West Stand seat.

That said Ive learnt not to assume anything when it comes to London`s Super League Club.

Would the RFL really allow us to move to Gillingham with Medway doing so well and applying for Champ 1?

It would make no sense for them to have 2 clubs in 1 town.

yep, cant see Gillingham as even being an option. It's Medway Dragons territory, they have clear ambitions to become semi pro. No way that the Broncos will move there permanently. No way the RFL would be happy either. No way that the Dragons would currently be pushing for the Hull game to be a success if they thought the Broncos were actually going to move there full time.
In my opinion that is

I hope its similar to the Millenium Magic weekend in its original form. It was an excuse to get people interested in the game and boost the Celtic Crusaders club. The Broncos will come in, hopefully entertain the locals and then turn up when/if the Medway club get in the Championships.

Oh how I would love that to be true, but can you really see that sort of forward thinking and planning from the club?
We're talking about a shower who can't even tell visiting away fans about the bar and the band playing in there after the game.

It's about time we accepted that No One here! at all knows that the plans are for the future, we have got to just got to see what develops, I am not that keen on moving to the Olympic Stadium with my footie club, but it does not matter what we think and I am not into a minority it is only really what Gold and Sullivan want! that counts.

good news - the policing costs row concerning Gillingham FC is now done and dusted. There will now be a crowd at the game in which they're pushing the upcoming Broncos visit.

100% accurate

I'm not suggesting anyone here knows what the plans are. I'm suggesting nobody at the club has a plan.


As the paying punters it should matter. What soundly run business would ignore it's loyal customers??

I think you may be lost...this is the London Broncos Rugby League Forum.......there are no soundly run businesses to be found here

Just as a matter if interest, does anyone know how ticket sales are going for this game? I for one am taking an extra 3 people including my die-hard RU mate (the last RL game he watched was in 1984) who is coming over from Northern Ireland with his son for a combined visit. All I want from it is an evenly matched contest; not an embarrassing tonking from Hull. A win would be nice too

Amen to that

Amen! to that as well, it is so vital.

How is the result going to have any effect on how many Leyton Orient residents will bother travelling to TW2 on June 9th?
If you wanted an important result...then Feb 11th 2006 was the game that the RFL should have arranged that we played Catalan Dragons or Salford or anyone but ST Helens....



Getting spanked that day in front of 8,000 locals was far more damaging than being tonked by Hull in North East London........

Eh... oh.

Bang on with that, exactly what I thought at the time.

2006 is in the past and however frustrated we may get nothing is going to change history.

No way does anyone expect large numbers of residents around the Leyton Orient ground in their thousands travelling to TW2 on June 9th, but the idea of going on the road is to try and sell the game of Super League and more important London Broncos to a larger audience and we have a better chance of converting at least some fans if we are not tonked! but at the same time we all know that we are looking towards other areas in London if it is decided to relocate.

The issue that all the "lets move" brigade seem to forget is that it doesnt matter where we play if we act as we do (on and off the field)
If a move is coupled with a big serious concerted effort then that is a good thing - except all the time and effort looking for somewhere else to play would more likely be better spent pushing the club where it is - and then follow it up with the big push.

Who was it that wanted a bet with me on the crowd? Still keen?

And where is Rupe...?
