Well said

I am neither the CEO or an existing forum member. New to RL and have loved the few matches that I have been to. I did not go to Twickers as not easy for me to visit by public transport but will certaily be going to Barnet. Listened on Radio London and followed LB on the web and hope that we surprise a few this season. Love the new kit. Up the Broncos!

Fantastic. Want to watch a few Barnet FC matches now as a result of this statement mellers.

It's like getting a new step brother this malarkey eh!lol

melif, aylos, not sure what the squad are gonna produce on the day, but just hope you get to see some decent RL and take to the sport, we need everyone we can get.
In the flesh we are a much friendlier bunch honest.
Don't get sucked into the pit of doom by the GF/paddock negativity vortex.

On twitter I have never seen so many Positive comments for the club, and all from names I do not recognise from here, just hope they never visit here!

As a Salford fan I experienced what you are going through last year. Like you our fans were divided over the goings on at the club.
But there comes a point when you have to put the past where it belongs in the past and all pull together we found at Salford that some who seemed hell bent on seeing the club fail have now disappeared mostly because they couldn't handle the new optimism.
It ain't going to be easy for you but I got through last season by reminding myself that every defeat was
better than not having a club to support.
Hang in you never know what will happen and see you all on the 22nd.

Coo, story Bro. I suggest you contact the club and tell them, because they probably give a . I don't.


Hey, there's a perfectly good ignore function on these forums, so instead of whining like a little bitch, I suggest you use that.....my opinion may not be popular, but I am entitled to it and it'll take more than a few supposed newbies to RL and these boards to change my stance.

This forum remains a fine source for a decent s.

Indeed.
The influx of "new RL fans" prepared to travel from Aylesbury to the Hive (52 minutes according to google) who didn't attend the stoop (61 minutes according to google) is astounding and underlines how correct a decision it was to whore ourselves to a new landlord

Do you actually know the area?

Aylesbury to Edgware is 40min by car and under an hour by train. By car the route is easy with plenty of options on the A41, M1, A5.

I used to come in on the M3 to the south circ to get to Hendon and Watford. The journey and the traffic round the M25 to the M3 or in and round the North circ means googles estimate is very optimistic and public transport would require you to travel all the way into london and back out instead of a train and a couple of stops from wembley by tube.

I think you will find plenty of people with easy access to A1, M1 and M40 will find the Hive a far more attractive prospect than the idea of a slow trip around the M25 which will require you to leave 2 hours just in case the traffic is crap (which is often the case).

So you can take your advice re times and accessibility and stick them where the sun doesn't shine.

A lot have to travel the m25 to get to the hive be careful with the sun it could burn you backside

Gf you really are a pilchard, these are fans new to the game, they need to be encouraged not critisised by you for not coming before.
lads ignore the tool from the kiwi based fella you will be wecomed with open arms by those of us that actually attend games, again, I hope they can produce a product that will hook you to the sport

Ok that did not read right I meant ignore the kiwi based tool

I didn't offer any advice. I stated the travelling times as quoted by Google between Aylesbury, Harrow and Twickenham!

So let's get this straight Michael.
I am not permitted to respond to open and targeted criticism in a thread started with the sole purpose of criticising me? This really is a brave new world you live in buddy

then I suggest they resist the temptation to start threads purely to have a go at me.

You may, however, have noted that you've been outvoted on this thread. Not that it will make the least bit of difference of course because you are always right.

You tried to tell someone that they were deluded in thinking that the stoop was much further away than the Hive . You tried to do it using zero local knowledge to prove a point.

I'll listen to what you have to say when you are talking about things you know, but when you try to tell someone who lives in Aylesbury how long it will take them to do a journey by using google from New Zealand then I will tell you that you are talking nonsense.


btw if you were trying to get to Harrow then you were in the wrong place as the Hive is in Edgware.

Including me. I haven't lived in London for 20 years and live in Newbury, before that I travelled from Winchester.

I really do know what I'm talking about on this. To ensure I get to a 7:45 kick off I have to be on the road before 5pm to avoid the worst of the traffic . On a Saturday I have to leave by 1pm for 3pm kick off.

Since when has rlfans been a democracy?

Who wrote that it was? Not me for one.

Feel free to point out where exactly I did that. Shouldn't be too hard for you to find given we're only on page 3.


I don't have to live anywhere near the hive to know where it is or in fact, to type something into google and be given the information I require about the area.


Good for you, but it bothers me not whether you listen or not....



Again with this attempt to make it sound like I was giving advice? Why is that? Does it upset you that your "local knowledge" might not be as useful as you think? I am stunned that millions of visitors hit the capital each year without first "hitting you up" for advice on where to go and what to do





That'll explain the post code starting with H then as well as the fact that The Hive is in the London Borough of Harrow


Slitting hairs and being pedantic won't make you right BTW......it only marginalises you further!

Tell you what though. Get yourself down to the Hive and tell them you'll hand out leaflets and help with the marketing. Not sure if they'll pay you for it though....the marketing budget given to them by the RFL is being used to ask for advice on facebook

Really? What other formof governance lets you vote on things?


on the issue of you claiming that "I'm always right". I have never said I am always right, but it obviously helps the more fragile of you on here feel better by making up about me.

Back on thread





Exactly what "positives" would the OP or the little gang of lemmings like to discuss. The nice new Kit that isn't available yet? The lovely polo-type shirts that can be seen on the players being interviewed by the press that aren't available or even in the clubs colours? That one of our coaching staff is on a leave of absence? That the club have taken to asking for advice on facebook as to how to market themselves and have received an idea about leafleting the locals as the work of Sir Martin Sorrell



before asking for volunteers to help out (what's happening to the RFL provided budget?) The absolute spanking delivered by Leeds? The worryingly familiar turnstile look of our defence out wide in both friendlies to date? The 75 combine attendance at 2 forums at the new venue? The continued lack of on-line purchase ability of tickets to the first home game of the season (10 days away)?

Come on guys, let's have some positives. And simply having a team and somewhere to play is not a positive.,....it is making the best of an extremely bad job!

Come on..get yourselves on facebook and tell the club how keen you are all to get yourselves down to help them leaflet the area.....it's your club after all






Oh...I nearly forgot. Coffee at the hive is 1.80 and not 2.50 as it was at the stoop......there's a really important positive for you all. I feel all warm and fuzzy

I don't comprehend where you get the time or motivation to keep on and on as you do. Nor do I care. 'bye.

Welcome newbie, great first post
