Sorry Halfdan, I just get fed up with the name calling because people offer a different opinion. I don't particularly want to wind anyone up, via posting or PM, but I'd love a message board where different opinions prompt a debate, not a barrage of personal insults. I can dream I guess...

| i am with you Perry!
Back on thread, taking a LONDON team 100 miles up the road, irrelevant of train price means that team is no longer a LONDON team, so the Wasps plan will result in a team that owns its own stadium with a new set of fans and very few of the existing ones! If that was ever the plan for London Broncos then fine, let them go I doubt any fans would follow we struggle enough with 10 miles across London.

It's difficult to follow half a conversation when one person involved is on ignore. Easier just to look to see if there is anything worth reading and how much is a regurgitation.

I don't want to ignore any of the posters involved as all are usually well worth reading. I just don't want to plod through pages of the sort of stuff that preceded my comment to find the good stuff. The falling number of active accounts suggests I'm not alone.
We didn't go to Gillingham as David told the RFL he would not fund the club if it left London. As long as he funds the club we will be in London. Personally I'm a believer clubs shouldn't be allowed to relocate ludicrous distances, they should find their level or fail. Odd perhaps for someone who started out watching Prescot at the end of their tour of London and the north west.

1200 average will be halved again next year.......losing 600 fans but gaining somewhere to call home would be better for the club in the long run.

I agree with you about relocation over large distances. I always say Union clubs are like airports, if they've got 'London' in their name you know they're nowhere near the place.
But more seriously, how far is too far? London Irish seem to have made a go of it in Reading, would somewhere like Milton Keynes have been a step too far for us?

Nope.....the main topic was one that traditionally appears in the off season........oh, hang on, it was most assuredly an off season. The activity on the forum actually went down.

Who cares? It's the quality that matters not the quantity.
Take yourself as an example. You're the most prolific poster on here, quantity is definitely not an issue. But every post is the same old self-promoting drivel, a lack of quality.

How is calling the clubs owner an idiot the move to the hive unnecessary and the teams chances of survival part next year as minimal SELFPROMOTING?
For someone who claims i make personal attacks, you seem pretty infatuated with me and my opinions......generally accusing me and being well wide of the mark. As for the quality of my posts.......90% ofmy posts are accurate. Because they arent all happyhappy bollox is irrelevant

| Great we are back to % s and swearing well done mate
as for 90% you started this one and proved to be 100% inaccurate.
back to the other discussion, move to Gillingham would probably have been a step too far for the few that are left, so MK would likely get the same response. I for one are of the mind London broncos/quins/Fulham whatever should be London based, how you class Londonthen becomes the question, again my view keep it inside the m 25, being in our own stadium would be prefer ed but we have been trying for 30 plus years, I suspect it's still a way off if unachievable, how many clubs actually do?

While Gillingham would have been a lot easier for me to get to than the Stoop ( and now the Hive) I was against the move for the reason you say. Move to MK and I would have said forget it, or at best become a very occasional / armchair supporter. Its difficult to see us as being anything other than someone's tenant but I read last night that AFC Wimbledon are bidding to return to their home patch by moving to a site on or by the old greyhound track. I suppose if they can pull it off with their limited fanbase then maybe there's a little hope for us?

ah.....so its untrue that the 2nd year option is being renegotiated then? Remember now..........the topic title was a "leader"...........and we are still in print or writing not confirmed as being based at the hive. As i understand it, ak has asked for further assurances........
