Our biggest ally in our move to Cherry Reds is gone. The coach and a vocal group of the fans are blaming us for them being bang average and we've gone 2200, 1,400, 500.....in the usual predictable manner in terms of fans with fewer than 1/4 of those paying full price.
Question is "Where can we move to next/Who would want us"?
It's looking like League 1 is a real possibility in 2023, so we would only expect 500 or so as fans.
Would Richmond RUFC work?
Would Trailfinders have us back?
Serious question.......where will the broncos go?

Richmond Athletic Ground would have good enough facilities for L1. However, Richmond already share it with London Scottish.






Gus Mackay we salute you!!

As someone who watched Prescot and Oxford this is all begining to feel horribly familiar. Sadly I'm not sure there is a next place. I fear the club is now in such a hole there may not be any way out. I hope I am wrong.

If we get relegated Imber Court will do.They have a rugby pitch with a 700 seater stand , good bar facilities and only about a 5 minute walk from my place.

Aaaah Chiswick. Crumbling stand, muddy mound to stand on & a team where you never knew who would turn up next from down under to play. But we were a club then where owners & supporters worked together to move Fulham RL forward. In stark contrast to the club Hughes has reduced us to.

London Irish ground at Sunbury would be more than good enough.

If they don't get promoted Ealing would most likely take us back. It's an easy fit for them, no real work to do just take the hourly payments and the bar takings, and that's about it. They can easily fit us in around their own schedule.

If they do get promoted, however, they'd probably not see the point. They'd just be focussing on their one season in the sun.
