How does this pass the RFL criteria for ground size?

The enlarged stadium will have a capacity of approximately 5,100 - with 3,500 seated - in line with the previous planning approval for the site.

It would be ideal for the Championship..................................

Well with the new quite stupid plans for Super League's future from The Fat Controller (one robbed from Scottish Football and unanimously rejected) I can't see any RFL criteria in the future as most teams in SL2 will not meet the criteria and four will go into SL1.

Well with the possible two divisions of 12 teams, then half way through the season bottom four in Super League 1 dropping down to Super League 2 and the four top teams moving into Super League 1? - with SL2 teams only getting about £180,000 from the Sky monies how are they going to ever compete in SL1? (Bottom 2 teams in Super League 2014 will drop into SL2 and a new French club will join SL2 to make up the 12 teams)

It was rumoured that David Hughes had met with Anthony Kleanthous a while back at The Hive.

Perhaps it is planning for the future, if David Hughes withdraws would the RFL bank roll for a while to keep us in SL2?

How a man who has been a complete failure in the past years as CEO of the RFL was trusted to do a review of the game and it's future is unbelievable, but chairman of such as Wigan, Leeds, Warrington, Hull & St Helens are not really worried as long as they always get their £1.8 million share from the Sky monies!

Think this will be where we end up. Difficult for transport and harder to get to than the Stoop?

Here is The Hive : http://www.thehivelondon.com/ This was on Gus's Magical Mystery tour in 2012 when we were looking for somewhere to call home full time.........Let's face it, 5,100 capacity isn't going to be a problem....Gus has not presided over a game with a "5" at the start of the attendance....he's only ever seen a "4" 5 times out of 33.....and the "all seats sold" target of 3,500 at the Hive has only bothered him a total of 9 times. Stunned at the speed of the decline of the club.....and saddened

transport wise it's pretty good I think. It's just by Canons Park tube on the Jubilee line and the Northern Line at Edgware is close. It's also very straightforward by road if you're coming from the north as the M1 is only a couple of miles away.
The standard will not be of current SL standards but as pointed out above that looks like it'll be scrapped it the 2 x 12/8x8x8 format is introduced.
And the biggest thing is that Barnet FC are planning on a temporary 10 year stay until they get something sorted out back in their home borough and maybe, just maybe once that happens then the Broncos will finally have their own ground. Imagine that!
All in all I think the Broncos could do a lot lot worse than this. Plus it's not that far from my house

We could be renamed the Bumbles!
