Seriously......are you just re-posting this tripe to wind me up?







WTF? I have been to games there (London Irish v Quins) and the place has ben rocking.....there is SFA wrong with the ground, just the way in which the league club have(n't) tried to fill it.



...this is your opinion and as I have said above, it is only poor for atmosphere when we play. The union lot have no such problems. I've also seen about 1,500 HKR fans rock the south stand.....nothing to do with the ground, more to do with the dross served up by the team in recent years.







I still own a property beside Griffin Park and as much as I like Brentford, the ground is a tip.....we only ever filled the one stand and the facilities were a disgrace. Griffin Park would not be accepted as a 21st Century ground in line with the RFL requirements.......but maybe you'd be happy back there in the Championship with your half dozen other zealots?



...and you know this how? If the club haven't asked their local neighbours to come an have a look then it's a bit premature to say that nobody in a TW Postcode is interested...BTW.....Griffin Park has a TW8 post code.







we get it. You are another anti-union at any cost London RL fan.....FFS, people like you do my head in. If you spend the rest of your life bitter about something that you had little or no control over then it will just eat away at you.



To suggest a move away from both the current ground and the current name is the sole solution to our problems is the most stupid thing I have ever read on these boards.



It makes no diference who or where we are....if you don't tell people, how in fx name are they ever supposed to turn up?

not a bad team so far should seriously challenege for the 8 and be really competitive

Thanks mate, I knew about that. It's a bit late though, the games finish around 2am. Staying up that late on a Monday Night doesn't sit well.



I was hoping there was other ways to watch it, its hard to be a supporter from this far away when you only have one game a week.



When i was a young fella and still learning where and when Rugby League was played, i choose the London Broncos as my Super League team, I don't know why and no i don't support the Brisbane Broncos.



When they changed the name, colours and jersey i lost interest. That along with a going to parties to met up with lady friends took priority over your competition, don't think you could blame me too much for that though





Now I am older, I write on the game here in Australia and sometimes over internationals. I follow the game at all levels from park footy to internationals (no matter where they are played, yes including the games in the USA). I'm trying to get into the Super League once more, I can get information and news easily its just footage which is hard. I enjoy the way Leeds and Wigan (little Melbourne) plays. But I'm not one to jump on a bandwagon of a team that is currently going through a period of greatness. I want to grow my support for the team over a long period of time the success of the club will be appreciated and enjoyed a lot more. I tried to support Leeds, as they have a partnership with my NRL team but failed in that quest because they wear the same colours as the Parramatta Eels (My clubs biggest rival, and most hated).



So please bare with me over the course of the next season as i try to get back into the swing and support the London RLFC, whatever our name is next year.

In some ways Yes, but do you forget about saving for a small pension as it will not be happening for some years and you might not make it, No! When it comes to the next franchise application we must be clear how we are going forward, I feel a lot may be going on that we are not privy to long term with RFL being closely involved.

Mate, we can get the BBC London live commentary feed over here. But as a Quins fan I have found no way of being able to watch a quins matches here. If you have Foxtel IQ or Austar you can record it?



Sorry I can't be of anymore help.

I dunno Dave, based on my experience of having lived for a number of years in enemy territory, if marketed correctly I think it might work. Something along the lines of ' A summer sport for when the football season's over - there's lots of Northerners to have a fight with - and without the bother of having to go all the way to Magalluf!!'

Can you point out where I made an anti-union remark? I don't think I did.



Anyway we'll just have to agree to disagree on the Stoop and the Twickenham area for RL.



Regarding Brentford - there were quite a few games were two sides were almost full. I prefered Griffin Park for the atmosphere, local pubs and transport links. I seem to recall you used to like it too (unless I've mixed you up with another board member!)

Cant wait for next season-The team looks really promising.



Looking forward to the fans forum this saturday to see what the chiefs have to say

Cheers, if the ESL ever gets most or all of the games televised over there all the games would definitely be shown here.



Then I would record the games on IQ, the problem is there is only one game shown over here and ita mostly other teams. Channel 9 (free to air network) are merkins and treat Rugby League (both NRL and ESL) poorly, when foxtel had the rights to the ESL they showed it professionally.



But thanks for your responses!

I don't get all this about how great GP was.



If you had to use the trains, Brentford was pretty hopeless with only 1 train an hour on Sundays and getting kicked out for 7 games in the middle of summer was an absolute bummer.



Football stadia just won't work for us.

Dan-The good thing for me at GP was the seats were a perfect fit for putting a bucket of VB under- 3 beers for each half



And a bucket to Pee in thus reducing the need for nipping off.



Oh those days hmmmmmmm

In the 'Independent' today, Dave Hadfield reckons that we're reverting to London Broncos next season. Does this mean we can keep Buck and Dusty?
