Board index ‹ Super League ‹ London Broncos ‹ Broncos off to Lionel Road?

It will be years before this is built. London Welsh will be bust by then, and so will we, probably.

This move has been long mooted, and the main player has finally agreed a deal for the site. I still see a possibility of them coming to us and asking Hughes to pump in a few million for a long-term lease for the summer months and office space, esp given the numerous financial problems football clubs and rugby clubs have had shortly after moving to new facilities.

Much more likely in the short-term is a move to Old Deer Park for the smaller fixtures and On The Road Games for the bigger names in Super League. You'd like to think we could sell out one stand and have the other few thousand standing, most of the away fans want to do that anyways and so do some of us apparently.

Can't see us using Old Deer Park. We have major overlap with cricket season. London Welsh always had problems at end of union season if they got into playoffs.

Are AFC Wimbledon still planning to build somewhere?

If L Welsh are off to Oxford couldn't you improve their former place at Old Dear Park or has that gone now?

See above, not only is Old Deer Park probably nowhere near SL standard it cannot be used during the cricket season.

is it still 1,000,000 per 1,000 seats?

DH could buy 1/3 of the ground, with an option on the other 1/6........5 million now.....get the attendances up to a sustainable level....buy the rest later?

BTW....56 scheduled home games at Griffin Park....we were asked by the RFL to take the game to perpignan in 2005....I believe that we also volunteered to take one of the games to welford road, so 3 other games we were FORCED to take games elsewhere.....this tenant myth is just stupid.

Are we certain to leave the stoop at the end of this season?
