That does seem to be the raison d'etre of the club.

So seeing as Gus is in his mid-40's that must mean at least another 20 years of the Broncos?

...define LIVING?

968 is the highest number of points conceded by the Quins RL/Broncos in a SL season (28 Games in 2004) at 34 points a game. 2011 and 2013 actually delivered 35 points per game, but let's not split hairs.

At what point in 2014 do we throw the switch on the life support machine?

RB is bloody right.Am thankful there is a London SL club to support.Kudos to that statement.

Past figures and stats are all irrelevant as we are moving to a new area and smaller stadium.Thus, it will feel a bit more packed out and could bring out the best in our players.

However, the positivity must come from us the Supporters.Otherwise, it just becomes a viscous circle and we will lose out. Can't wait for next season.

New signings, new ground, with a club who wants us there-a new dawn awaits. Come on you Broncs!

Really? must have missed the announcements on twitter, facebook, the BBC and of course, the Font of all Bronco Knowledge, the club site!

We had a perfectly good ground with a landlord that wanted us there. Together with the new one, I suspect both landlords were keen on the rent

Seriously......awaits what? Nobody other than DH is investing cash into the club in 2014 and the new bloke is being PAID to market us AND he gets to keep the revenue??????

As always, we will all cheer the team, but don't applaud or cheer the "club"...it is a farce, wrapped in a fiasco and an accident waiting to happen!

Announcements will come in due course. No point in doing the laundry in public, with failed deals being published due to public announcements. Just get the signings done., even if it means loan signings. Look at Watford FC last year - they had so many loan signings.

Twickeham was hell to get to.Hated it. The transport links are great for The Hive...and any Stadium that is 10 minutes from a Tube Station is great I feel.If the old Landlord wanted us, why did they increase the rent?

New dawn as in a new smaller stadium atmosphere which could bring the best from the players. Saracens players have said what a difference the move from a large stadium of Vicarage Road was to the more vocal Allianz Park in Hendon. Consequently, the players have played some of the best running rugby the club have ever seen, having beat Leicester Tigers 49 - 10 today! With 7 tries!?....and the players have said they feel the improvement due to the smaller stadium and can't wait to play each game for the atmosphere.

Sure the club has been through some hard times - as an understatement,ha. But never kick a man when he's down. Now is the time when our club needs our support, and I can't wait for that positivity to rub off at The Hive. Really cannot wait for 2014

Hey....we've moved and there's not a lot that can be done about it, but understand, we moved to suit an agenda that had little to do with the rent at The Stoop.

Ah, I see, my apologies.Thanks for the info. Perhaps joining with a club that had rental fees out of our means in the first place was part of the problem added to the other factors of Stadium Size for Atmosphere and ease of transport links. Fingers crossed for a new dawn at The Hive.
