| surely if the Broncos relocated out there it would be trampling all over the Dragons and any future plans of growth into a semi pro outfit. Plus there's no way you could legitimately call it a London RL team anymore.
Would much much rather they stayed at the Stoop than go to either Leyton or Gillingham. If they're at the Stoop next season I would think I'll go to most of the games, if they're at Leyton then I'll go to some of the games and if they're at Gillingham I'll go to sweet fa and all my viewing will be at the Stags & the Skolars.
Gus...if you're reading this - pick up a phone and ring Watford FC. Their much unloved lodgers will be off to Copthall by the start of the RL 2013 season and they're always looking for a few quid. Lodge there for a few years until I win the Euromillions and build somewhere for the Broncos and Skolars to share in North London.
Foolproof!

I'd rather we didn't get into bed with that crook Bassini.
Plus sharing with a football club brings up the potential 'kicked out in summer' problem.

Really? Wow. I take back what I said. I was going to watch a couple of games last year but every time I had the chance, they were playing someone like Portsmouth who humiliated them in the away game.
Surprised they are already gunning for that League, great news however.

Quote ="Rascal Bongo Stork"Gillingham FC have passed on some complimentary tickets to their fans for this Sunday's game against Dewsbury. I have a copy of the enclosed letter from the club and it looks like they're really pushing the Broncos game they're hosting.
Some excerpts:
"although this is not by any means compulsory,we would really appreciate some form of testimonial from you after the game.Be it a photo,some words or even just telling friends,we'd love you to spreak the word of the London Broncos experience"
"any words or photos that you could send to media@priestfield.com would be much appreciated and could be used in our matchday magazine for the Swindon Town game on Saturday April 21 or on our official website"
"of course,please dont forget that we here at Gillingham FC are hosting a Stobart Super League game between the Broncos and Hull FC on Sunday May 20 at 2pm"
"tickets for that game are available from the club, either by calling 01634 300000,visiting the ticket office or online at ..."
My money's on a higher crowd at Gillingham than at Orient. I just hope the Broncos dont relocate to Gillingham! Are the Medway Dragons still an option for one of the two remaining Championship 1 slots next season?'"
Well done Gillingham FC

How ironic then that at the moment the Swindon game it to be attended by approximately 0 people due to Paul Scally adopting the Dave Whelan approach of expecting the local Police to cover their own costs for their services.

Pity. I regard Watford as our ideal location. Should attract more away supporters with the saving of travel time into London as well.

I remember when I first joined the BB someone chimed in at a comment of mine that London shouldn't 'rely' on away supporters to bolster the crowd - I can't remember the topic - I agreed to a certain extent but I did think the comment a little shortsighted due to the cost of travel in these inflated times especially at the tiny amount of away supporters at some of our home games.
Some of my work involves me taking trips up north or even Scotland & believe me, the difference in rail fares when 'VIA London terminals' is taken out of the ticket price can be substantial with short notice tickets especially when compared to if I drive to and park then take the train from my nearest large mainline station (MK or Stevenage). Something north of Kings Cross/Euston would help away fans immensely IMO - and me too!! .

When fans up North make comparisons with us to justify their place in SL over us they never deduct the away support from their own attendances when doing it because it doesnt suit their argument. In previous seasons Salfords home support has often been no better than ours when the away support has been discounted. Imagine how many Wire fans go to Widnes and Leeds to Cas or Wakey compared to coming to us. Mind you i don't think this season the argument works too well.
I think the 'quote' is one of our good friend Homers amongst others.

Getting your "C's" and your "W's" mixed up Snoopy?
The old Catford Greyhound stadium would be a perfect location for the Broncos (and the loyal fans from SE London could get there so easily) ...actually, forget the rugby, just re-build the greyhound track

Happened before there in January I believe. The game went ahead after the costs were split....
If they do play it behind closed doors, I would expect a few swindon "fans" will make the trip anyway.......if they want trouble, the soccer match is secondary anyway
