Quote ="Honkytonk"Jim, we all know your feelings towards Hughes/the way the club is run. To be honest I agree with most of what you say. Thing is we don't need to be reminded of it in every post/thread. '"
I fully agree with you, but if this thread, regarding the move (to what is essentially Chiswick Poly with a banqueting hall) isn't the place for a rant at Hughes then please point out which thread is?
As for the "bickering" on this topic. That's down to Perry and his assertion that I can't comment on the locale because I don't live in the UK, when in reality, I lived in for 3 years and still own a property less than 2 miles from this new venue and therefore am probably more qualified than most to comment on it.
I get it. I am not a popular poster for varying reasons, but the fact remains I was right in 2003 and I am still right now. If this club is to survive and even grow, it needs to put marketing at the front of everything it does. Some will be happy to watch park footie on a park pitch and good luck to them, but I started supporting a professional club in the top division and no amount of romanticising about Phoenix Clubs and re-birth will ever get London Broncos back to the top tier.....but harsh words and hard work will.
Ealing Trailfinders Holds 1,000 in comfort. I'm not happy with the venue, but what would prove me wrong is if the club fill it 14 or 15 times next year. The Move to the hive was the first in the clubs history that delivered a lower average than the last year at the previous venue......stop that trend and then I believe there's a chance to grow again.
First up.....contact everyone we have details for and invite them, Free of Charge to the first game next year AND WHILST THEY ARE THERE QUESTIONNAIRES, DATA COLLECTION AND OTHER ENGAGEMENT! If Hughes won't pay for it, I have no doubt the supporters group could handle this.......
