Buzza,
Never said we could not benefit from a change at the club, have merely pointed out that when Mr Hughes decided to spend his money elsewhere we were severely lacking in other options. RL has constantly changed 2 leagues 1 league 3 leagues but never 0 leagues, London does need finance the only person willing to do that at mo is DO.

It's simple mate. We don't have another option at the moment! Get your wish get DH to pull his money, there is no one else to step in, comparing that to the changes the RFL have made over the years, it's never been a change that would see the folding of the game! Am happy to embrace change, you have to have something to change to though!

How do you know what other possibilities there may be ? The club may have to take a step back but in the long run that could be a better option. Not quite sure why any of this equates to a folding of the game. There are other RL clubs even in this part of the country.

And those clubs, I'm assuming you mean Champ 1 are still a long way from a charging up the divisions and if Broncos join them in that division. I can see our fans base deciding they might as well support the local option. Unfortunately how many live within a few miles of Barnet or wherever the next move will take us.

You already see familiar faces from The Valley, Griffin Park and Stoop at Skolars, Oxford and Hemel. Some watch both Broncos and a League 1 team but some have already been lost to Broncos. Sadly many more appear to have been lost to the sport.

Yes, consistently reducing the fan base is unfortunately the result of DH mismanagement.

That's a ludicrous statement, even by your standards.
