PREPOSTEROUS Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Brentford? Great ground but certainly over sized. Remember going to a few games at Griffin Park. Enjoyed that ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

langpark Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I am confused, are they moving, or is it just speculation? If they are moving, do we know where to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t disagree but they made a big thing about moving there, all the academy and junior teams being able to play there under one hub and they even invested heavily in their own gym setup there. Their nomadic existence continues........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the chairman’s reduction in financial support in recent seasons, this announcement does appear somewhat surprising. I wonder if they have another investor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? It was more than big enough for the amount of fans they have. Unless they’re going to go down the Bradford/Toronto route of giving away thousands of tickets for nothing, it’s not exactly a needed move. There’s also scope to build at Ealing, which they’ve done once already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their nomadic existence continues........ Brentford and Ealing (assuming it is Brentford) aren't so far apart. It shouldn't (note: shouldn't) make too much of a difference to the areas they work in, academies etc). Plough Lane - also being mentioned in the comments, no idea about the article - would be more the kind of upheaval which has meant having to stop work in one area to start basically from scratch elsewhere.

The Hallucinating Goose Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I'm hoping they aren't moving, they seemed to be getting a bit of stability and settling down at Ealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds Wire Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I've been to almost all of the grounds London have played at and Ealing is by far the best. It would be such a shame to move them on again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

langpark Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 For me, you are either... 1) A person who complains about free pizza sponsorships for Super League or 2) A person that thinks trailfinders is an acceptable venue (and image) for Super League. You cannot be both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
