Whilst I welcome the news that there are enough "passionate' fans left to field a fans team, I am stunned that someone as "passionate" as you is decrying me for posting relevant information regarding our home next year????

Well gutters, if the Broncos move to Ealing I doubt I'll be watching them, although knowing me I'll probably have a season off save a few games (like 2014) and return to support the club with a ST if we're still in existence in 2017. I suspect that if we move again we won't be moving until 2017 anyway.

It's all very sad and I really hope that at some point there is some light at the end of the tunnel for you guys. Would've been great to have you stay on board as the Hive evolves but sadly not to be it seems.

I'm pretty sure the information from others about Broncos moving away from the Hive is correct as there are far too many dots joining up for me to think it could be otherwise. Although I haven't seen or heard anything definite from my perspective on things, I have recently been told that TK is talking to another sport about sharing the Hive facilities, this isn't anything new but the fact these stories are re-surfacing now may be relevant.

Shame we couldn't get Kleanthous to buy the club as he was sniffing around Wasps at one point I recall.

Guess we're lumbered with David Hughes & the ongoing Brewster's Millions scenario.

Welcome to the soul destroying, spirit crushing world of following London Broncos. Like you say all the pointers are that we will, yet again, be moving.
Shame. The Hive is a nice facility and we've been made to feel welcome there (I should also declare a selfish interest here, it's the closest the Broncos have ever been to where I live).
Thanks for all your posts meliferra, it's been good to have someone who knows what's going on at The Hive keeping us up to date. As you may have noticed this forum sometimes offers more heat than light.

As much as I like The Hive and it facilities. I must say that to me, it is the ground that we play at. It is not home. I feel no sense of belonging and Barnet hardly bend over backwards to make us welcome.
I think we could build something there, but for it to work we would have to some more input and control. It is not going to happen.
We cannot even give out leaflets there, so we are a bit stuffed.
The club went in there with its eyes open, so I don't blame Barnet, I blame our management.

Re: Home Next Year : Fri Jul 17, 2015 12:38 pm  

Bostwick, are you suggesting that we didn't have a top notch negotiating team?

Re: Home Next Year : Fri Jul 17, 2015 1:43 pm  

Have we ever had one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers Mel, if it were down to me I'd be for staying at the Hive. I think the place is a good fit for the Broncos and had hoped we would try and put down some roots. Sadly not to be, and we pack up and move again - this time to what appears to be a very inferior venue.
Thanks for all the Hive related info these past couple of seasons - good luck to Barnet back in the Football League next season.
