Meliffera: Thanks for the updates, I have a few questions though:

1. How long to build the new North stand?
2. What will the capacity be once the stand is built?
3. What are the timeframes to have the other two stands built?
4. When are Barnet scheduled to move out?
5. Any other news?

1. Based on construction time of the West stand they can have it built in 4-6 weeks with the internals being worked on for a further 4-6 weeks.
2. Capacity 6500. Still limited to 5100 unless given special dispensation for one off games.
3. No timescales, owner has previously said providing a decent roof for the posh seats is a priority.
4. They aren't. The lease change gives ten years but if no site can be secured then it will be longer. That the Tory council who forced the move out have stayed in power in Barnet suggests this could be longer than hoped.
5. Hmm.. the bit I was avoiding I guess - the lengthening of the pitch for rugby has been shelved.

Is it true that the broncos have had a gym built and are having offices built?

If they have then it's not at the Hive. If\when Broncos decide to move admin and training then we can expect to see a planning application for a rear extension to the North stand to provide space for them. So far this hasn't happened and I've heard nothing recently to suggest it's happening in the short term.

Cheers Meliferra. Maybe they have been built elsewhere as heard from two different people

As I understand it, all the gym, training and admin is at Bushey.

Correct. It's all located at Bushey Sports Club in Hertfordshire including a pitch with the exact do mentions of that at The Hive.

So every few years we up sticks leave behind our infrastructure and rebuild it somewhere else. Broncos make Sep Blatter look competent FFS
