Nah don't think I should leave you out if it you started the thread.

Another glaring example of hypocrisy.

You whinge to high heaven about thread drift normally so please explain to me how slagging off Skolars is pertinent to a thread about a former Broncos ground?

Re: Copthall : Tue Feb 23, 2016 11:56 am  

Selective reading and seeing what is not there again well done. Have a look chap I have not slagged off skolars or any other club, in fact I actively discourage anyone from doing that. The fact a couple of people on here got into a sniping tit for tat I merely suggested this was your whole intention in starting the thread.

Actually what I was suggesting was copthall is a good example of the art of the possible. Before it was developed in am pretty sure there were enough people saying it was impossible to expand that facility due to planning issues

My intention, as always, was to point out the dismal way the club operates.

As for the art of the possible I doubt Trailfinders have serious ambitions to play in the Zurich Premiership.

That leaves David Hughes to develop Vallis Way.

Nuff said.

What might have been? We were set to move there but got stitched up by Saracens and the "old school tie" brigade!

The same as has happened with Brentford's future Lionel Road Station, ie, we were approved as the secondary tenant, only to be stitched up by London Welsh using the "old school tie" forum to screw us over.

A similar thing with the Olympic Hockey Stadia', one of which could have been rented to us, but was dumped in a landfill site instead!

Sorry, CN, but your wrong, Coptal was lost NOT by any of the Club's doing, also, I suspect that whenever a suitable stadium comes up, we do not have a level playing field on which to compete!

And, although I am loathe to be seen to critisise another club, before you mention how well Skolars are doing, they are playing on the Field event area of an Athletics stadium, in the lower mini-league (expansion clubs only) in the bottom half of the third division, with an average gate of 300 odd.

How did London Welsh "stitch you up"?

What is an "old school tie"?

Cliche-tastic stuff. You only need "public school" for a full house.

Re: Copthall : Tue Feb 23, 2016 2:08 pm  

OK, OK

We weren't in discussion to take over at Coptal when Sarries came in with a budget busting offer.

We weren't in discussions with Hounslow Council over Lionel Road when London Welsh announced an interest, said Council dropping us like hot-coals.

We hadn't expressed an interest in using the smaller Hockey Stadium when the Olympic Legacy Committee decided the Legacy was best served in a Landfill site in Essex!

It's all in my mind!

Your right and I'm wrong, happy now?

As to "old school tie", it was in the inverted commas for a reason and I never mentioned "public School", you did. What do you mean.. full house? Are you suggesting I'm suggesting an 'Agenda', NEVER!.....Not me....Honest Guvnor.

Re: Copthall : Wed Feb 24, 2016 12:28 pm  

Am going to throw in a couple of questions for you cn..
Why do you feel the need to constantly point out what you see as club failings? Don't you get it? We all know the problems, what are you hoping to achieve.
Apart from ground issue why would ealing place restraint on there ambitious, Exeter didnt

Re: Copthall : Wed Feb 24, 2016 12:38 pm  

Parting shot then I am off, that's me done, see you at skolars..then posting again within a couple of days, you are very hot on hypocrites maybe you need to peek in the mirror.
Or is the reality you love the broncos really and just can't tear yrself away.
Welcome back mate,

Re: Copthall : Wed Feb 24, 2016 12:47 pm  

Goading me to respond micky.

Didn't know you missed me so much.

Re: Copthall : Wed Feb 24, 2016 9:01 pm  

No goading at all, just making comment, honest answer in reality wish you had stuck to your word and stayed away

So why ask the question ? IMHO, you are one of the worst offenders for dragging out pointless conversations. Maybe you are the one who should be staying away.
