| I don't believe Tooting & Mitcham actually own the ground. There is another company that owns / runs the ground. Famously planning permission banned AFC Wimbledon from playing a first team game there as a home team, due to concerns about transport issues, parking, impact on the locals. The ground owners did attempt to get that lifted not sure what happened. The imposition of that clause suggests a Superleague side rocking up may be a bit of an issue to some tbh.
If people think Twickenham is the back of beyond by public transport trying to get all of us to the Tooting ground by tram on a Sunday should be fun.

Nothing, but then again I have not had my season ticket yet.

Neither has anyone else, as far as I know!

he'd have to check with the ticket office at Glamorgan CCC to see if anyone there had lost their job in the canteen, then employ them at the club as head of interactive ticketing services, only to announce a mid season review and sack them by July.....

| I think Leyton is the next stop for the caravan that is London's 'top' Rugby League side.
The men in charge have hinted that they didn't market the game at Brisbane Road and without any sort of market research have probably decided that a little bit of marketing will see thousands lining the streets of East London.
I think the club actually realises that they need to stay in London to keep whatever followers they still have and Leyton will seem the best option. I don't buy the Griffin Park argument, its just as weak as the return to the Broncos name because the club had a brief bit of success under that name.
I can see why Leyton is a good option though. You're one stop from Stratford, half hour from the West End and is close to the M1 for the away fans.
Anyway, this club's gypsy history is a joke and no wonder the club is on its knees.

| First post and my ten pence worth....
London Broncos represent the whole of the south east of England. So if they were located in Reading or Oxford what would it matter.
Some of the moans on here are comparable with the flat cappers up north who don't want it out of the m62.
In regards to a move to Gillingham I don't feel it would be too bad, the area itself is very similar to the northern towns, very working class.
To those of you who say you won't attend a ground outside London, shame on you. Its your little minds that keep the great game from spreading further.

KEEP LONDON _ IN LONDON
Yes a move to Kent may be better for those in Kent - but Gillingham ain't London. Those of us who oppose the move believe league can work in London and therefore think it is wrong. I have followed this side for 33 years but Medway is beyond the pale. If it is Medway then the Skolars are my team! and btw by train Gillingham is nearer for me than the Stoop"
A move to Kent will signal surrender and final defeat of building a SL team in the capital, and a final insult to all the loyal fans who have kept this dream alive for more than three decades. It would certainly offer a big opportunity to the Skolars.

| I wouldn't bother going to Gillingham either, it's too far for me. I already do a 3 hour round trip to get to Twickenham but it only costs me just over a tenner on public transport. Getting to Gillingham would be a 5 hour round trip and would cost me closer to £28 by train.

That's a big statement for a first post.
I've been a season ticket holder for 25 years, but have also sponsored and administered amateur rugby league in the south.
I won't be going to Kent.
I feel neither guilty nor small minded about that

| Scrap another 2 season tickets off the list if we end up in Gillingham.
On the plus side, i and my wife will get letter from Gus next season asking (or singing ) us to come back and give us free tickets to first game at Gillingham
Only way i will go to Gillingham on regular basis is for free tickets, then it is 50 / 50. If we were winning 60 % or more of the games i guess you would have more enthusiasm to make effort, fingers crossed for this season.
I live in Feltham, so attraction of Broncos is the locality. I know many people travel miles and miles for the club which i admire, but i dont have the time and money to be commuting around the M25 on regular basis.
Went to Gillingham last year and view was not very good in the main stand, not where we sat. ran out of programmes and ran out of beer, whole thing was complete farce. Lest we forget the many poor Hull fans who couldnt get in the ground till nigh on half time which was complete joke considering how far they travelled
London Skolars here we come then

seriously?
your first post was a sweeping comment as to how anyone who didn't welcome a move to Kent was a flat capper.......it's taken me 10 years to attract the level of abuse you deserve.
