My agenda? I want abstable and viable club and whilst Hughes is making thebdecisuins that ain't going to happen. The Hughes appreciation society will tell you He's all we've got, but i say we'd bbe better off without him

| It ought to be!
When I started following this mob we played at a Premier League standard stadium- looks like we'll be playing at a ground that's one step up from a public park next season.

| Quote ="mickyb1234"So lots of rumours people latching on to random ground names, anyone actually heard anything to back up any of the thoughts?'"
As usual, the "rumours" become fact when dealing with the London Broncos......you and the rest of the clique putting your hands over your ears and eyes and hoping it's not happening doesn't change the track record of this club or alter the route it is on. If ever proof were needed that Hughes has not the slightest frigging clue as to what he's doing, then this is it.
Basically, rather than actually spend money attracting fans, he's moving us to grounds where it makes no odds if anyone turns up, because they are tiny......it's almost like he's prolonging the death of the club to spite the RFL.
Oh, if anyone's bothered, I did post a load of info about the ground earlier in the thread when it was still a "clique branded" rumour.....no doubt someone will think this is an opportunity to showcase the game to a new audience.....as in wedding guests using the facilities.
Quote ="Jim Pooley"SL self sufficiency requires 10,000 fans a game paying 20 each, and other residual revenues and SKY TV money delivering a turn-over of not less than 4 million. This London Club in its current guise will never return to Super League......Hughes has seen to that. Ealing Trailfinders is a tidy little sports ground with a Cricket Crease on the other side of the Stand/Club rooms.....it could be the Headingley of the South!
Edit. [urlhttp://www.tfsc.co.uk/sport.htm[/url
The Pitch is available for general hire for £250.00 at weekends, or £720.00 weekend evening games.....if we were getting 600 to games next year then over 11 regular season matches, that's £132k a season on the door for a cost of £2,750 in pitch hire (based on 3pm Sat/Sun)
Unless we are buying into the grounds, that'll be it other than shirt sales.....200 or so won't add much to the coffers.
Not sure how much Sky money we get next year, but if it's say £300k, then we could be looking at an income of about half a million before Hughes chips in.
Edit II
[urlhttp://www.tfsc.co.uk/pdf/2015/Rugby-Pitch-Plan.pdf[/url
Tidy little set up there. I can see this being a permanent home for us with.....Bristol and London Scottish at Ealing in the Union next year will probably require another temporary stand, so there's probaly a chance we could squeeze 2k in if required.

think you'll find subject is one you find uncomfortable discussing as it gets in the way of you watching the sport. Alas, London Broncos has very rarely been about "the sport" since Hughes was left in sole command.......4,000 fans and a team in 7th spot when he took over........now a stadium with a 970 capacity and 6th spot IN A LOWER DIVISION.
You'll see for yourself next season mickyb1234....we're playing at a wedding venue!

| Obviously mate you have missed the point, London broncos is a rugby league team, so it's actually only about the sport.

So again what is your agenda other than one 'up man ship' with other forum users?
Quote noun, formally a plural of, agendum but usually used as a singular with plural, agendas or agenda.
1.
a list, plan, outline, or the like, of things to be done, matters to be acted or voted upon, etc.:'"
Its not stats and its not figures I think you've been caught out here GF.
I believe your agenda is to take fellow forum users into a zone at every opportunity (marketing for example) which is your comfort zone due to your employment, them willy wave with facts and figures, then when challenged abuse which is a very poor managerial trait. Am I right?

Fragile ego.
I think I've just realised why he's obsessed with David Hughes. Because DH is a poor manager, and every time gutterfax looks at him, he sees a reflection of himself.

| David Hughes deserves some respect for keeping the club going. I know it is going in the wrong direction now, he made some really poor appointments.
But we would have been dead and buried long ago without him. Sure the club has been run badly, but we all know that.
If the ground at Ealing is going to expand and we are going to be putting down roots, it may work out OK, but I have an awful feeling that, that's not the case.
The RFL need to take their share of the blame. From where I sit I cannot see that we have had much help from them, they went charging in when Bradford were in a hole and bought the lease on the dump that is ODSAL, to help them out. Why? To save rugby league history I was told. It is The National Trust job to save buildings for the Nation, not the RFL.
If the RFL are committed to expansion, as they say they are. Then The London Broncos need help. Give David Hughes a hand. Get out of you little comfortable world up North and help, because, before too long it will be too late.
The M62, the comfort zone. for the RFL, will ultimately, be a road to nowhere, all professional rugby will end up being that Union game . I for one do not want that.

Caught out?
I refer you to the list of things to be done posted at the end of 2009. None were...,..remind me again how that's panning out for the club!
Regardless of where the club play, what has become obvious is that attendance by paying fans is of no interest to Hughes..... And it is paying fans that are the very cornerstone of any chance of self sustainability
