Part time next season says Mick Gledhill : Wed Jul 07, 2021 8:35 am  

Not exactly a shock but its stated on another forum that Mick Gledhill has reported being told Broncos will be semi-pro in 2022.

N.B. I have not found the actual quote.

Not a particularly reliable source that. However it would seem likely.

They seem to be playing part of the time this season.

Mick Gledhill is a liar and an oaf of the lowest order.

All he's done here is take something we've all known for a long time - that the club were considering going PT this season - and used it to claim he is somehow 'in the know'. lover.

Would we really be surprised though??

Can you imagine the state of the squad we would end up with.

we will probably be part time playing at Ealing next year (if we play at all). Don't see going to Plough Lane as a Part Time team with 250 fans

I have read previously, that recruiting players on part time contracts and bringing them to London would be very difficult. It would not be viable for the players to come south.

I'd expect Broncos would end up doing what the League One southern teams do/did and have some players living and training up north, travelling for matches. They will probably all live close to each other for ease of training and travel. Where would depend on the coach and his contacts.

Oxford spent two years with half the squad from the Leigh area and three with half the squad from the Castleford area it's not exactly ideal but I can't nsee how they can pull together a Championship standard side using only southern based players

Part time would spell the end of any SL chance we have (which we are miles from anyway).

Shambles

Would have thought it depended on what jobs they have. London is not short of jobs in most fields so being based in London could be feasible. Or they can live with Hughes in a tent in his garden.
