Wow... and official now. I wonder if Jamie Soward had a helping hand in this too, but either way some top recruitment from Joey Grima. Just praying the 2015 season isn't another damp squib and we win promotion. Great news!!

You can't fault the recruitment, and remember we are still in August, well done.

How many clubs get promoted to Super League at the end of 2015?

I assume that Leigh has the front running. But London may now have the second best squad. The question is whether two clubs will get promoted.

Great signing for you guys, and the quality he brings will be a big step in getting back into SL. Surprised that he slipped under the radar of the SL Clubs, as he'd do a good job in the top flight.

As I understand it then it's not that simple. The answer is somewhere between none and 4. If a championship side finishes in the top three of the middle eight then they will be promoted, if a championship side wins the playoff between 4th and 5th then they will be promoted.

If the top 3 clubs in the middle 8 are Superleague teams and the other Superleague wins the 4th v 5th play-off match then no new teams will be in the superleague the following season.

Despite some very positive signs on the recruitment front, I can still only see a Championship side gaining promotion if a SL side in the middle 8 has suffered a financial meltdown on the scale that we have this year or has the worst injury list in history. On that last point, I wonder whether there will be any restrictions on loan players for the middle 8 in that period?

The thing to take in to account, at the start of super 8 lower tier top4 will have been winning, bottom 4 of super league will have been losing. It's a new aproach, it might inject a bit of life into a flagging sport.
back end of next season could be interesting and you could see a few surprises and changes

Looking forward to seeing wes

Welcome Wes to the crazy world of the Bronco's. Hope you stay is enjoyable.

Good news this and other signings. Might even make the long trek to and from The Hive bearable for a few games at least.

2015 ticketing has been announced then has it?

Care to elaborate on what this is driving at?
Second thoughts don't, as I can feel a repeat performance coming on.

You gonna buy a ticket then gutters

Well....with the positively gushing level of "good news" flowing from the club at present, I would have thought 2015's pricing and venue for home games would have been confirmed.......maybe with the helpful RFL explanation of how everything works next year. A quick glance around the country shows that the majority of the 24 clubs who will contest the 888 have already started selling tickets and that only 1 has yet to confirm its home ground ground for the season......I suspect "negotiations are ongoing" which is strange really given we were told it was a 2 year deal.




3 for the Bradford game Michael, Icelandic volcanic activity permitting. Other than that, I will wait to see what wondrous offers are available in regards to membership of the Hive, the fiscal benefit to being a member in regards to the shop, what from the shop is available for on-line purchasing and how much AK wants to "clip the ticket" with regard to postage to the foot of the world. There is also the small thing of where my "investment" would go...to the club or to the landlord who cares little for us or the game we follow. (other than clipping the ticket on cup final day as an over-spill car park facility)

I was right, nothing new to see here.

You really don't get it do you. Clubs announce when they are moving, not when they are staying. Point me to a news story from another club that says 'We will not be moving next season'.

As for tickets? It's a membership so there is no need to advertise a season ticket. Join when you like, leave when you want. I guess you're looking for another news story saying 'We are not selling season tickets'.

Until I see a credible story saying Broncos are leaving (despite telling NYT that they are staying at the Hive ) or that direct debits are being cancelled because the Hive are no longer running ticket sales then this is just hot air.

The tennancy arrangement between the broncos and the hive that ran for 2014 will not be the same as the one in place for 2015. The club (and RFL) were informed of this in July. I would expect the 185 broncos members would be told this before Octobers cash is taken

Then I suggest you give it a rest until then and see if the membership scheme does come to an end. As members pay in advance then we will know in 3 weeks time.

Yet another thread taken off topic

Sorry, probably my fault because I opened a window by suggesting that our signings might be enough to persuade me to make a few trips to Harrow next year.

And people wonder why the game is seen as a "local" pastime rather than a national sport? Incredible.......relegation from the Championship this year closes the door on access to the 'MILLION POUND GAME'........surely heads will roll for this blunder.
