| The only advantage, long term, from moving back to Griffin Park, would be if it meant we'd be allowed to move into the new Lionel Road stadium in August 2016. Brentford have said they'd be interested in having a rugby team in the LR stadium, and London Welsh often mentioned as the possible club.
One of the problems with Griffin Park was they'd reseed the pitch during the summer, meaning the Broncos would have to go on the road for a number of games.
Trains on Sundays and parking can be issues as well.

Interesting to note you derided someone who had a bachelor of commerce and who once came on here (for some reason) pointing out his marketing quals, whilst you yourself, were totally unqualified.
But thanks for being one of the MANY volunteers. Attendances went up at Griffin Park. I'd put that down to you as you've been the only one to talk themselves up about those days.

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.'"
Do you think this may not be happening? That someone like Tony Rea is not aware of internationals from australia playing for other countries.
I suspect people underestimate the RL network. But we'll see what comes out of it.

| If moving in with Brentford was a long term deal, including the option to go in with them IF the Lionel Road development ever comes off, then this would be a good idea, but it'd probably be just one of our emergency short term fixes. Mick Gledhill's as likely to be right as anyone else on this - he's grown up a lot since he started doing the broadcasting work.

Not sure what your issue is but I said I was only one of the volunteers that leafletted the area. As for mr warren......he's carved himself a nice little number as a Fox News anchor, so his degree is going to waste there.....and as for my qualifications then and now, I stand by nearly all of the recommendations I have made........the clubs inability to market themselves or even try to just makes my case stronger

| I really don't know whether this would be a good move.
Brentford have bought the Lionel Road site from Barratt Homes and are planning their stadium now. The new stadium is likely to hold 20,000 people, far too much for a London Rugby League Club. The Broncos have invested nothing into the acquisition of Lionel Road so how keen would they be to let the Broncos move with them?
On the other side, the Lionel Road development is being labelled as the Brentford Community Stadium so they may be keen to have a Rugby team jump into bed with them to make it more of a community based stadium but I'd imagine that any Rugby Union team would be seen as a better option than the Broncos at present. London Welsh have expressed an interest I believe.
I'm sure that the Griffin Park site will be sold off for housing when Brentford leave there so there would be almost no chance of the Broncos staying there and if the move to Lionel Road doesn't materialise, Griffin Park has been nothing more than a short term fix.
I think the next home for the Broncos has to be a long term move.

LW have taken on the lease of the now closed Priory Pub next to the Kassam in Oxford and are moving their administrative centre to Oxford. Last year they frequented Oxford only on match days but this year there does seem to be a more permanent move. They also invested in the relaying of the pitch
There was talk in the summer that they may actually stay in Oxford at Oxford University RU which is also the home of Oxford RL but this went away with the agreement to remain at the Kassam

If London Broncos move back to Griffin Park I have a Flat they can lease across the road and use as offices if they like. It's only a 2 Bedroom with a fair size Living Room, but given the current staff list, it should provide ample space

There is a large cupboard at the top of the stairs that would be great for a fans forum
