| Quote Mash Tun="Mash Tun"Update from tonight’s Dons Trust meeting.
The ‘temperature test’ survey of Wimbledon fans is currently showing 78-79% in favour of London Broncos sharing Plough Lane.
The chief exec says Broncos are “chomping at the bit” to move in. Says LB see it as an opportunity to grow and become a big force in rugby league. Says LB expects crowds of 3–3.5k at first (didn't say if that's Champ or SL). They would move in in 2021 if poss.
Wouldn't just be rent paid, but other elements of revenue sharing.
The chief exec of AFCW is very keen as even the worst case scenario forecasts for Broncos crowds still make financial sense. Says there are opportunities to share sponsors that target both audiences.
Three hoops to jump through before it’s a done deal: 1. approval from fans in a formal vote, 2. agreement from Galliard Homes (who are building the flats next door) and 3. planning permission from the London Borough of Merton.'"
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!
How many times have we heard this BS from the club now? If you build it they will come! 28 years I've been listening to this and it's always the same.
Another relocation will solve all our problems - we don't need to improve our communications, or marketing, or commercial operation or anything else - we just need to move to this other stadium and everything will be fantastic. What a pile of sh*t!

I understand your cynicism but moving from Trailfinders to Plough Lane is a bit like swapping a youth hostel for a four star hotel. Don’t know about you, but if it cost me the same to stay in both, I’d take the hotel.

| 3-3.5k is achievable in Super League. Probably once to maybe three or four times a year, though that’s completely reliant on the big clubs fetching a good away following and not down to any work London Broncos has done. And that’s based off winning promotion to Super League either by playing onfield, which looks unlikely or hoping that licencing comes in and the club somehow ticks enough boxes to get in, of which, both look unlikely.
Unless there is a complete overhaul of the club’s back office, it’s a case of doing the same thing over and over again and hoping for different results, it’s insanity.

Should have added the walk from either Tooting or Wimbledon is about 30 mins depending on your mobility. Could also try mainline from Waterloo/Clapham Junction to Earlsfield & walk from there about 20 minutes or so.

If there is any "chomping at the bit", it must be Buck & Dusty as that's what horses do!
Of the 3 hurdles, it is encouraging that the fans seem to be welcoming. I don't know how much of the site Galliard have sold but with prices from £450,000 for a 1 bed up to £750,000 for a 3 bed apartment, but i wouldn't buy there if there was a chance of not only having my Saturdays blighted by football fans but my Sundays in the summer too by rugby fans. It is a densely built site.
As for Merton Council, that will probably depend on revenue & votes. Still a long way to go i think.

| Not sure anywhere it has been said that a move would would solve all the problems, and as such not sure why its a pile of sh@te.
Trailfinders is a nice little ground, but its just that, little! As many have pointed out.
The club is not in a financial position or unlikely ever will be in a financial position to own its own ground, so next best thing is going to be a ground share of a suitable stadium. I like many would have loves Brentford it didnt happen.
Wimbledon personally access for me not good, but again for me at least its not east london.
How wimbledon would work with training facilities i dont know, but the club must have thought of that.
So far from being a pile of! as suggested, it might be the change thats needed, is it worse than doing nothing?

| If it was possible, being based at Ealing (training/admin etc) and then playing at PL would seem like a decent idea.

You're a dishonest poster.
The club could say and do absolutely anything and you'd find some way to agree with or defend them.

| Why does stating my opinion make me dishonest?
Maybe i understand that i am a supporter of the club, a fan, how the club is run is up to them. Have said it many times i turn up i support the club, or turn up and work for the RFL. I dont presume to know how to run a club or know better than those that do.
If i disagree with what the club do then its pointless constant whinging as what i say or what i think aint going to change it.
More to the point, everyone can have an opinion, if you dont like someone elses opinion that fine.

An opinion would be something you'd thought about and come to a conclusion on.
You just parrot everything the club do and say.

Yeah, he keeps Broncos going and yet is also the man who keeps holding us back - funny that isn't it?
And until he manages to keep us going AND actually move us in a forward direction there will be posts from the likes of me having a go won't there? If he were to mange to get us moving forwards there wouldn't be any need would there?

| Maybe looking at moving to a stadium that is more suitable for a potential SL team is doing exactly that. Again repeating the obvious, without him there is no club thats already been shown a few years back.

| Yes he keeps us going, fair play for that but.... at the same time under his command we have lurched from one disaster to another, shelled fans quicker than anyone can count and ended up playing in a pimped up park!! Yes the club may owe him its survival but you also have to question that if he had made a better fist of it, the club would not need to rely on him.

Can't disagree, but how much is down also to those who have run The Club? At least there was a Tweet today asking are you ready to hear th3 name of some new signings?
