www.londonbroncosrl.com/news/514 ... tPK-XnSZv0 However it still gives the clubs address as The Stoop!
[iThe club will be playing their home games at the boutique ground of The Hive in Harrow, the home of Barnet FC, and will be based for training at Underhill, the football club's former home six miles away.
Following the challenges of the last few months, the club are now settled in their new home and head coach Tony Rea is busy building the squad for the start of the Super League season. Positive as ever Tony says: "There are some adjustments, but these can make you stronger and tougher. It's very doable - not normal, but very doable.
"As far as recruitment, we're the strongest players in the market at this unusually late time. The players out there are hungry."
Most of these have already been lined up and will be announced in the coming weeks. They will join a dozen retained players: Saeed Agboke, Mike Bishay, Mason Caton-Brown, Matt Cook, Kieran Dixon, Erjon Dollapi, Olsi Krasniqi, Will Lovell, Iliess Macani, Mike McMeeken, Joel Wicks and James Woodburn Hall.
Keiran Dixon is still recovering from knee surgery and won't figure in the early part of the season. In addition, George Griffin, a back rower, has signed from Hull Kingston Rovers. The players have been enjoying the new training facilities at Underhill which are a step up from the old training ground at Roehampton. There's a new gym on site and field sessions take place on the main pitch, which is enclosed by stands and specifically marked out for Rugby League.
"The training facilities have moved up a level," he says. "We've re-invested and relocated everybody. It gives you great energy and it really works; within a day it's home. Everyone wants to be here and is excited - it feels good. Everyone's really positive, enjoying it and pushing forward."
Looking ahead to the start of Super League he said: "We've got to work really hard, earn our right to get inside the games and enjoy the fight. It's about togetherness and being a club but it's not just about the team. The Hive is a wonderful stadium, it looks an exciting stadium to play in and the facilities are good and the ownership is vibrant."
"Everybody's been working hard, we've got capable people. We're going forward; we've got our hands on the steering wheel."[/i

Hand on the steering wheel, wonder if we are likely to see a rather nasty car crash of a team or one that drives off into the sun set and all is rosy?

On Ian Ramsdale's Twitter it states "Broncos confirm 13 registered players: Agboke, Bishay, MC-B, Cook, Dixon, Dollapi, Griffin, Krasniqi, Lovell, Macani, McMeeken, Wicks & JW-H".
What has happened to Robertson, Rodney, Grady and Colbon?
My understanding was that they were all contracted for next year.

Did somebody say that Robertson was out on a long term injury in which case there is no point having him on contract?

There's no point giving him a NEW contract when he's injured but he was on contract for this season anyway. You cant just tear it up coz he's injured. You can pay him off but i would think it would still count on our SC imo. |

If The Hive is a boutique ground does that mean there will finally be some stylish kit on sale?

Rodney is back over here and retired. Robertson will be back here after rehab there. |

Well Toshiba Medical Supplies actually, and in true Broncos style we didn't get that until well into the season. Although they did supply the Hive with a load of state of the art medical type stuff - MRI scanners and the like - which I'm sure will be of some use to our (Broncos) squad. |

In regards to the "commercial team" at the Hive/Barnet FC, does the club attract many hoardings advertisers, match day sponsors and their like? As I don't know how long the former estate agent and ex-recruitment consultant have been in place, I was wondering if we could expect to see our own advertisers and sponsors or if we will just be an extra 13 days exposure for the existing ones?
For example, when the bumper gate rolled up for the Luton game, was there any additional "advertising or sponsorship" activity?
Genuine question BTW, because so long as we avoid a hammering at Widnes, I can see us getting a fairly decent initial attendance for the first home game and it would be good to "clip the ticket" if we can. |

The Football club face similar issues in getting sponsorship. A lot of the sponsorship is local based companies and as they are now in a new area they are effectively having to start again. Some companies are still involved, Jewish News, LGR, various property companies, etc but there are a few gaps to fill in terms of space around the stadium. The programme is still as well sponsored as ever though! As for the Luton game I didn't notice any more advertising or sponsorship, but I think sometimes extra hoardings are added when we're on TV - typically Skrill (the Conference Premier sponsors).

The Broncos website seems to be regular now with story signings, the Moore signing was posted at 8am this morning.

Gus has fired (in some cases Hired then fired) all of the staff at the club and you are still prepared to volunteer to help him out....you are a true Christian or certifiable  We used to have an avid supporter on here who dabbled in sports media. He took a role under Gus last year and got right royally shafted....given the track record the CEO has had with the Volunteers, I'm stunned anyone who has followed the club for longer than 10 seconds would step up to do anything for him.
Still Snoopy, I can assure you that updating the SOTIC based web-sites through their editing tool is child's play and all you need is internet access. Facebook and twitter are even easier......in fact, not much difference to posting on a forum  ....you should email him and offer. |
