If Broncos ever recover it will be no thanks to him.

OK, fair enough.
But you know as well as I do we are in a Catch 22. We exist on DH's money, and we slowly die from DH's decisions. If he stays we whither, if he walks we implode. We're a rich man's play thing, and you and I aren't rich enough to buy him out.
Thing is, I don't need certain posters constantly telling me this. Not least because it won't change things.

Point of order. I don't chip away at Cowgirl or Wire Quin, we've agreed and disagreed on many occasions, but as far as I can recall, we've always kept it civil.
I don't 'chip away' at GF for that matter, but I do stand up to him when he's being rude, ill mannered, or personally abusive (which is quite often). I wouldn't put up with that in the bar, so I'm damned if I putting up with it on here. As for knowing what he's talking about? Well all he ever talks about is the past (which I already know), and how great he is (which if he needs to shout it suggests he isn't as great as he thinks he is).

The rest of your post I agree with, but why are you telling me? I don't need to have expained to me what a slow motion train crash the club is, I've been riding the train during the crash! It's all very well talking about passion, and fire in the belly, but no amount of that from me or anyone else on here will alter the fact that we haven't got the money to buy the club off DH. And no amount of attacking other posters on here will change that either. We are essentially powerless.

As for Ealing. Do you honestly, honestly think I'm looking forward to flogging my sorry backside to the fag-end of west London, next to a toilet of an estate, to watch them play on a glorified park pitch? Seriously??
If you look back on this thread you'll find at least two posts from me where I said if we're not buying in it's a bad move. So why did you need to type so many words telling me what a bad move it is??

Well, here's one person in favour of the move to Ealing. http://www.londonbroncosrl.com/news/off ... nd-switch/

I think the main point is as much as there are lots of people out there who allegedly have all the answers to what the club should do, no one is in the position to actually do anything about it firstly they don't have the money and secondly things actually ain't that straight forward.
If arguing those points with them is chipping away them so be it.

Am I happy that we are going to ealing, of course not, but again it is what it is, I don't have the money to pump into the club to push things in a different direction
It's not glibly standing by or accepting the situation, it's the realisation that it is what it is

Perry and Mickey have said it.

Yes we know what's wrong, No we don't have the money to change it, even if I did have that kind of cash would I be prepared to spend it on the venture?? I guess it would depend on just how much cash I had.

And before you chip away at me to ask do I go to games the answer is yes I do and travel many hours to do so and I also do occasional away games.

itsmeagain,

I never chip away at Cowgirl or WireQuin? who I have the utmost respect for peoplem but I have very little respect for those who feel they have to hide under various aliases! and forget how they once bragged constantly how they had an hot line to the club, then all of a sudden became negative? and just now spout out the same rhetoric over and over again, and love to create negativity.

Many of us have been around since that first game at Fulham v Wigan, and stayed loyal to the club through thick and thin, just like fans did at such as Huyton RLFC, what is sad is this forum has so few now who post, while such as the clubs Facebook page has many more now, there is debate but no bitterness!

Just a thought that came to me. There is an unwanted 1200 capacity demountable seated stand at underhill. It was going to be bought by Southport and moved up to theiron ground but the transport costs are to high and you can't get grants on second hand stands. Is it worth Broncos looking into it? At the moment it's for the scrap heap as no one wants it. Swap out the orange seats and I would've thought it ideal for your immediate needs https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ ... tNight.JPG

Which is almost certainly why the club won't look into it. You've seen the shower that 'run' the Broncos, they couldn't run a bath.

Sadly, I have to agree with Perry again. In fact there's been quite a few stadiums going through a dismantling process so there's seating and terracing aplenty for those who can be bothered to organise the logistics!
