Long live the Fulham-London Crusaders-Broncos Harley-Quids Broncos (again) RLFC!

Re: Ealing is the new venue : Sat Aug 01, 2015 12:06 pm  
Given the lack of a proper home and the dwindling fanbase together with Mr Hughes management style I don't think many of us were expecting a return to SL anytime soon, we just need to survive and who knows, eventually we may end up with someone with the Money, Vision, Drive and Planning abilities to realise loftier ambitions!

The thing is you do have far more fan base potential than any other club, how the hell you get that potential into numbers through the gate is the million dollar question.
I'd say that a stable home ground is definitely the first thing, moving grounds loses fans, as Fax found when moving from Thrum Hall, those fans take some getting back, if they ever can be.
Once you have the foundation of a home in place then you can start to build, until then I think it will always be a struggle.
Sorry if you feel this is obvious but thought I'd chip in, it would be great for all RL if you could kick on and increase crowds.

You know that, we know that, but the only person who matters at this time. David Hughes. Appears to fail to subscribe to this opinion.

Selco, answer our prayers!

David Hughes - The Gerald Ratner of Rugby League? Discuss. Or not as the case may be.

Re: Ealing is the new venue : Wed Aug 05, 2015 8:13 pm  
Hughes seems to be on a mission to downsize the club until it can play in his back garden.

At least it's not Gillingham! Eurgh.

Why not give up trying to have a home ground and just play every game somewhere different as the London Nomads? Would have a certain 'circus coming to town' feel.
