It would appear to those of us not in the inner circle, that the club is being prepared for self sufficiency probably circa 2017. By moving us to a sports facility that won't charge the earth, the club are preparing for life as a semi-professional outfit and so long as the core of 250 or so regular support stay, then there the club will stay until someone else fancies a crack at making it work.
This, in my opinion anyway is better than what nearly happened in 2013, when the club would have been dead in the water.

Thought I'd have a stab at answering your questions
1 - a park with a rugby pitch marked on it
2 - there is no ambition
3 - in the case of Broncos it appears to be solely for the amusement of David Hughes

Just had a thought, say we drew an SL club at home in the Cup next season - not necessarily one of the big ones, just one with a reasonable level of traveling support, do we forfeit home advantage or do we ask Skolars if we can use their ground for the day as they have a greater seating capacity?

Whats the obsession with Skolars? That is not the future its just a running track in North London

Who's obsessed? It's just they've got more seated accommodation than Ealing!

Look our biggest gate this season was 1400 against Bradford and that could (at a pinch) be accomodated at Ealing, where we will pay a lot less for the priviledge. Who knows maybe we can help out with more of the Mobile stands and building a second terrace at the other end.

If we did need to move to a bigger stadium for a cup tie. What about Millwall, if its good enough for Wigan.

Interesting to read Hendo's reasoning.
