Would the RFL really allow us to move to Gillingham with Medway doing so well and applying for Champ 1?

It would make no sense for them to have 2 clubs in 1 town.

yep, cant see Gillingham as even being an option. It's Medway Dragons territory, they have clear ambitions to become semi pro. No way that the Broncos will move there permanently. No way the RFL would be happy either. No way that the Dragons would currently be pushing for the Hull game to be a success if they thought the Broncos were actually going to move there full time.
In my opinion that is

I hope its similar to the Millenium Magic weekend in its original form. It was an excuse to get people interested in the game and boost the Celtic Crusaders club. The Broncos will come in, hopefully entertain the locals and then turn up when/if the Medway club get in the Championships.

Oh how I would love that to be true, but can you really see that sort of forward thinking and planning from the club?
We're talking about a shower who can't even tell visiting away fans about the bar and the band playing in there after the game.

It's about time we accepted that No One here! at all knows that the plans are for the future, we have got to just got to see what develops, I am not that keen on moving to the Olympic Stadium with my footie club, but it does not matter what we think and I am not into a minority it is only really what Gold and Sullivan want! that counts.

good news - the policing costs row concerning Gillingham FC is now done and dusted. There will now be a crowd at the game in which they're pushing the upcoming Broncos visit.

100% accurate

I'm not suggesting anyone here knows what the plans are. I'm suggesting nobody at the club has a plan.


As the paying punters it should matter. What soundly run business would ignore it's loyal customers??

I think you may be lost...this is the London Broncos Rugby League Forum.......there are no soundly run businesses to be found here

Just as a matter if interest, does anyone know how ticket sales are going for this game? I for one am taking an extra 3 people including my die-hard RU mate (the last RL game he watched was in 1984) who is coming over from Northern Ireland with his son for a combined visit. All I want from it is an evenly matched contest; not an embarrassing tonking from Hull. A win would be nice too

Amen to that

Amen! to that as well, it is so vital.

How is the result going to have any effect on how many Leyton Orient residents will bother travelling to TW2 on June 9th?
If you wanted an important result...then Feb 11th 2006 was the game that the RFL should have arranged that we played Catalan Dragons or Salford or anyone but ST Helens....



Getting spanked that day in front of 8,000 locals was far more damaging than being tonked by Hull in North East London........

Eh... oh.

Bang on with that, exactly what I thought at the time.

2006 is in the past and however frustrated we may get nothing is going to change history.

No way does anyone expect large numbers of residents around the Leyton Orient ground in their thousands travelling to TW2 on June 9th, but the idea of going on the road is to try and sell the game of Super League and more important London Broncos to a larger audience and we have a better chance of converting at least some fans if we are not tonked! but at the same time we all know that we are looking towards other areas in London if it is decided to relocate.

The issue that all the "lets move" brigade seem to forget is that it doesnt matter where we play if we act as we do (on and off the field)
If a move is coupled with a big serious concerted effort then that is a good thing - except all the time and effort looking for somewhere else to play would more likely be better spent pushing the club where it is - and then follow it up with the big push.

Who was it that wanted a bet with me on the crowd? Still keen?

And where is Rupe...?

History is useless unles you at least LEARN LESSONS FROM IT!

...doubt you'll get that many of them to the Bradford game if I am honest.

Not the Job of the club.........that's the job of the RFL and the Superleague themselves....

....so why did you just say...
?????

...and a soccer stadium that's not up to ESL Licence requirements is they way to go is it?????

We don't all know anything other than DH would like us to have our own stadium and Gus McK has gone on record as sayig he's visited some sites..........sites with building consent BUT NO FFING FUNDING



.......I dread to think of the spin the club will put on these games if they get more than 4k to each of them...it will be PROOF that East London is best, when in reality, 4k and 5k and upward gates have happened in West London many times over the last 10 years....it's the ability to get people back for all 13 rounds that is totally beyond them.

"Excuses are the currency used to explain away failure".......it's the truth in Sales and it's the truth when it comes to the Broncos.....it's everyone's fault except theirs.

Completely right, never disagreed we have to get it right on and off the pitch! I did feel it is was possible pre-season but we seem to have just fizzled out.

No way do I disagree with gutterfax of course you have to learn lessons from history, but what I say is not Dwell on it. But it is not a matter of using excuses, no one who has trained in marketing would state there reputation that way! marketing is about selling the positives though to do it you also need the budget to carry it through, you first need the product and it has be Right, currently ours is not! I would like to know what part the RFL are playing as part of the deal?

Quite a large advert for this game in the Kent Messenger on Friday which has a fairly large readership.

Oh and Hessenthaler is a complete numpty.
