When we played at the Stoop we had "home" games in Gillingham. The travel time from the Stoop to Gillingham was the same as that from St Helens to Hull!
We may be down to the hard hard core but don't doubt our willingness to travel to games!
Whatever you feel about this move and the Broncos over the last 5 years+, pick up your bowler hat and turn up! We WILL make a difference.

agree with you NK, not sure how leeds manage to get any fans, there closest tube station is miles away!

Said it before when the complaints were coming in about Barnet, BUS, CAR, PUSH BIKE, SKATE BOARD there are many ways to travel, does not suit everyone I agree but come on guys!

Are a substantial number of Leeds fans doing three or four hour round trips to get to games?

The Hive has pretty good transport links.

Whereas the aptly named Trailfinders doesn't.

Sarf Essex, wherever we play then someone is going to have the problem of travel, when we played in East London at Charlton, it used to take me an hour to get to London then 2 hours across town, but there are ways and means. I feel for the guys that come from medway etc, but come on let's be honest it's not outer siberia.

May as well be with the problems of getting there. If you have mobility problems it could turn out to be a cow of a journey but never mind MIcky1234 or Nkpom will be there without a care in the world about ahyone else sittin in their seats feeling very smug that they got there

Better for me than having to drag over to white heart lane for every game, North circular is always a pig. That or the m25 and hemel
Anyone tried the bar at ealing on a match day when the yawnion is playing As gutters knows it's all about getting a decent cup of coffee for me ☺

It did start to get a but embarrassing a Barnet when the wedding reception people were competing with fans for parking on match day, hope we don't have the same problem.
It's a done deal tho, Ealing is where we are playing so might as well make the best we can of it!
Other option is to complain the whole season, personally I am gonna enjoy my rugby.

As for my seat and sitting comfortable most games this season have been working so nope not nicking anyone's seat.

Quite right Micky it was terrible at Barnet having to go through turn styles and all that. It was the same at The Stoop aswell.
No wonder we moved. At least now you can get in on matchday without all that agg. I bet the visiting fans cant wait to turn and barge in and take your seat. Still there is no problem with that as Im sure Dave wont mind. Not long to go and we can hear his words of wisdom as regards what we can expect for next season. As if we didnt know.

Sorry to be negative Mintball but some of us call it as it is.

Re: Ealing Dealbreakers : Mon Nov 02, 2015 11:34 pm  

Mate, do you really think any of us are over the moon about about where we are going to be playing next year? I personally think moving from the stoop was a crazy decision, fact was harlequins didnt reallybwant us there, yep i would of course prefer us to be there or at Brentford, Barnet at a push, but we ain't. It's gone it's in the past.

So choices are accept it ir not, it's happened, it's where we are next year, not a lot we can do about it, you either want to watch rugby league or not. Might as well try to make the best of what we have.
