Perhaps he has been head hunted by the Broncos.

Yes he’s starting in the halves. Added quality was needed. Good luck to him.

History repeats itself. One of the key men behind the rebrand as Quins RL resigned from Quins RU not long after we arrived. Things seemed to go downhill pretty much all the way after that.

I'm getting tired of being right, but I'll never tire of telling you
London will be moving soon, probably without the financial backing of Hughes (not at a significant level) and will be in the third tier. I genuinely think a ground share with skolars will be on the cards, or in a worst case scenario playing out of Richmond RUFC.....
Hughes has destroyed OUR club......shame on him

I see AFC Wimbledon didn't fare so well on another Rugby pitch this weekend

Re: Mark Robinson Complaining : Sun Mar 06, 2022 9:11 am  

Think what might save AFC this season is the bottom 4 are so poor. Morecambe have just been completely unable to take advantage of AFC's 15 game or so winless run. Mind you their games in hand have now gone so looks like nail-biting stuff til the end of the season. As I posted elsewhere, watched a bit of the Women's League Cup final on TV & the pitch didn't look great down the middle. Still don't understand why they can't cover the rugby lines very well when we did in the 80s. However, the ladies managed to play on it despite the bobbles. It's still a relatively new pitch for anyone to play on so you would expect it to be better next year if they have the drainage right.

Didn't always cover the lines too well in the 90's. Dulwich Hamlet turned up on a Tuesday at Hendon once to find the home team manager covering up Rugby League markings with green paint. Several players subsequently claimed for a new pair of boots from Hendon.

AFC are teetering on the edge.
No wins in 2022 (?) with 9 games left.
Chris Thorpe penned the match report and had it up online by the time many fans would have got home.....is he available for us?
there were 8,200 fans there, showing entertainment isn't always about promotion and tophies....relegation fear works

It's a battle to see who will win first this year, AFC Wimbledon or London Broncos. Could be some time before we get a "winner".

Another loss and our partners/hosts/landlords are in the drop zone.....
