The broncos have played at some rough places as well over the years. Some of the negativity on this board considering the club has just been saved a short time ago is ridiculous. If any Bees fans are thinking of coming to games please ignore them. RL is a great game and if we can get a competitive team together you will enjoy yourselves.

Echo that! The Hive looks like a cracking venue, looking forward to our first game there - would be more than happy for any Bees fans remotely curious about Rugby League to join us, I'm sure you'll enjoy it! Maybe if you've seen some of the RLWC games on TV and enjoyed them why not come along and watch a game in the flesh?

Lets hope we get off to a good start at home as we will probably get quite a few new people down for a first look.

Hey, I'm surrounded by glass panels and I'm hardly going to start chucking rocks, but TC does have a point. You're right Gutterfax. I don't deny my faults and overreacted because you had told people their season ticket could be over £700. I was trying to encourage people to come to the Hive rather than scare them off. Believe me if we started talking about planning and leases then there is plenty enough to frighten people. I should and could have phrased it better and I am sorry for being so abrupt in my response. My intention was to challenge the inaccuracy and highlight the correct figures. I don't intend to post on here any more seeing as my responses have upset some but it would be great if some Bronco fans joined up with the Barnet forum to keep the communication flowing. We have a thread on there covering questions about RL which most of us seem to be in the dark about. They are fairly minor questions like how is there going to be reviews as the Hive has no scoreboard. I still intend to go to a couple of games and wish you all the best.

So it is not possible to spend £700+ on the White Rose option? I never said in my post that everyone would spend that much...I even showed how, if you picked and chose, you could see all the matches for £180 a year.

Not sure how my pot was designed to put people off attending the Hive?

We are well aware of the planning dance et al being conducted between the council, residents and Hive/Barnet. Whilst worrying, they are again, not enough to put people off attending SL games at the Hive.

No need to apologise and as for the correct figures......well done, but I still say that the club(s) should have been in a position to do this rather than for it all to come out in an internet forum...

Don't go. You've upset nobody.
We only have reviews when the cameras are in town and they bring their own big screen.

Salford on Feb 22nd will be a decent hit out......the BIG name clubs come towards the seasons end and if you're keen to see a London Victory, Wakefield, Castleford and Bradford would be the games I'd try to get to. Avoid Warrington's visit like the plague...it could scar you for life.

Good idea. What's the link?

Re: Training Ground : Sat Dec 21, 2013 11:23 pm  

I'm on that too. The call to arms essay I wrote on the Broncos thread may have been a little OTT but the ethos behind it is I think sound. Both clubs are stronger together than on their own and I hope to see a cross polarisation of faces in what looks a likely 36 visits to the Hive in 2014.

Re: Training Ground : Sun Dec 22, 2013 9:25 am  

Dont worry sensitive Barnet fans, we love you really. Id much rather have soccer fans to cooperate with than the rah rahs. Looking forward to it.
