If true, it signifies that the Hive is a none starter and SL can function at Griffin Park. Whether it could work is another matter entirely. All LB fans have great memories of GP, unlike the Stoop...........and it is in SW London!

SL2 was fantastic at The Stoop. Some great times at Brentford too, however, I would seriously question whether the reasons for leaving The Stoop are addressed by a move back to Brentford. Given the clowns in charge of the club though it is certainly possible.

Quite right Jaybs there were some good times at the Stoop first time around. But they were so long ago I had forgotten.

I thought that was the problem according to Gus?
He really needs to do one if this comes to pass.

More sideways I'd say.
Gus is furiously backtracking though.
Hopefully he'll do it all the way to Heathrow.

From Twitter: Mick Gledhill @TheGameCaller 47m
@Daddy1The @broncoskolar from the walls of red hall. I've been told that it would be a 'very surprising' move, if it actually does happen.

Nah......north of the River.
Got to love the way the RFL are letting the sport descend into farce, rumour and counter rumour.
At a time when we need confident and strong leadership, we have the fat controller clinging to the hope of a successful RLWC to secure his future in the sport in the UK.
Bradford, London, to a lesser extent Wakefield are teetering on the edge, their is disquiet from certain parts of SL about the RFL's ability to make money and all the management can do is hide behind the RLWC in the hope it will save their Jobs.

| So why is Brentford a backward step?
Funny that no-one assumed that the second visit to the stoop was a backward step.
We had some good times at Brentford, the ground is suitable for our needs, holds good memories, there is a pub on every corner!!! ok crap parking but for crowds we get not an issue!!
Its more like a traditional rugby league ground of years gone.
If this is more than a rumour I would be more than happy! all we need is a squad of players that can play

| And the crowds went up when we were there.
Probably because of GF doing door drops and all his suggestions.

Nope....Chris Warren was the guy who printed the leaflets and other organised the volunteers, of which I was one, to do the delivery. I used to deride CW on the lack of anything else but by comparison to 2013, 2002-2005 were the boom years in RL marketing in London

| Biggest problem in my opinion at the moment is a viable squad for next season. Solution would be signing eight good overseas players frim RLWC this autumn. support from the top four SL clubs with season long loan signings to boost the squad but ultimately dispensation from relegation for two years.
The set up of the former London Broncos is a great template for failure, no democratic board, no interaction wuth fans, no marketing, no media. Nothing should survive that regime at all, perhaps a place on the board for David Hughes.
GP would be a great move under the right leadership. David Hughes involvement with Charlton Athletic being a stumbling block perhaps, maybe not, if new owners take over.
There is an opportunity to buy the ground as it is not fully owned by the football club. Ron Noades' name crops up here. Buy Griffin Park and then lease use of the ground back to Brentford FC giving them and us a revenue stream ( at last). and then oin Brentford FC in a partnership & groundshare at Lionel Park.
Use the move to GP as a catalyst to build up a fan base in the south of England.
( Then sell GP for housing ) Proper home, proper roots. Of course too good to be true, but nice to dream!!!
I follow London from East Anglia, I am not an ex pat Northener or an Antipodean bar worker this is an overstressed stereotype which would fail time and time again in the search to sell the game to a sporting audience.

Be keen to know why you think this?
When the club have involved either TNT or an Aussie Beer offer, the crowds were markedly higher. I am not saying they are the answer, not by any stretch, but it isn't who you market to so much as how you do it.....6,500 for the WCC warm up a few years back shows that they will respond.
As for ex-pat northerners....are you saying that the 21,000 of the 42,000 fans at Wembley in 2011 that were from London and the south east were all random sports fans with no allegiance to any club? It would seem very strange that these 21,000 would attend this one double header but not support at least one of the 30 professional clubs on the planet....if not an English club, then they fall into the transient barstaff category, if an English club, then they are at least targetable for one game a year.
