Is this the end of Broncos in SL? : Sun Jun 09, 2013 9:42 pm  

This was posted at totalrl.com (not by me). I have no way of knowing whether this is true or not but it would tend to go along with players not having their contracts extended. http://www.totalrl.com/forums/index.php ... cos/page-3 After attending yesterday's match, I have learned that David Hughes is putting the club up for sale. He will continue to invest if elected as a board member but this will be a significant reduction. There is not much to sell though. So it may take a shrewd investor or they may not find one at all. Should the Broncos not find a suitable buyer, then the RFL will purchase the club, eject them from the league and drop them to Champ 1. Sorry, to the Championship I was meant to say

True but if the quotes above are true then there seems a bit more to it. If nobody will buy DH out then effectively he's out.

Just a rumour I know just wondered if anyone has heard anything.

I wonder if when DH decides to sell his car he smashes it into a lamp post and sets fire to it first.

I picked up on rumours of a short notice meeting between the club and RFL last Thursday which, if true, may be relevant.

I can't quite see why David would want to bung another million or so down the drain next season sadly. It's going to be an interesting few weeks.

it's over......
Personally I don't blame any individuals, but I have to temper my thanks to Mr Hughes for the ride with a comment about his inability to take decent advice.....he is a very proud man and as in most things that have a "pride" element, a fall is involved.

Even though it would be unfortunate for the club to be relegated, maybe it would mean that RFL would try and find a permanent home, go back to its traditional colours of red, blue and yellow, replace that awful logo,
And then maybe it will start feeling like a club again..... And bring the fans back.

Even Mr Scally at Gillingham is having second thoughts.................... http://www.kentonline.co.uk/kentonline/ ... sion-1612/

Now, in the Crusaders' programme yesterday the club's CEO said that it now looked like reorganisation was going to be option 3, which would mean dropping down to the Championship might not be that bad. Are the powers-that-be in the RFL hatching a cunning plan?

After saturday I just hope that all this discussion of a move to Gillingham is killed off. London should be in London although I fear for LB who IMHO are a spent force both on and off the pitch.
