You’re the only one talking about the local area. Nobody else has brought that up. 

Have you forgotten already that you passed judgement on an area you have visited 3 time in 16 years.

Anyway when to go to the Broncos v Eagles game your opinion might alter, See you there

I passed judgement on a stadium I’ve been to. I made no reference to the local area until you asked, of which I said the immediate vicinity to the ground is residential and Gravesend “is a pretty big standard town”. 

So yeah, you’re arguing points nobody has made. You enjoy it, I hope it doesn’t rain.

And your club is?

From 1994 until 2021 I was a supporter of London Broncos. There's literally nothing you can tell me about that club that I don't already know.

Apparently 

Kuflink Stadium will host the match as part of the Broncos’ plans to play one game annually in Kent. 

Jason Loubser, London Broncos CEO, 

It’s always been our ambition to grow Rugby League across the region, and we hope our plans to host a one-off match each season in Kent can accelerate us fulfilling this objective.

Gillingham must have told us no then.

Or they wanted too much money

Damian Irvine is the CEO at Ebbsfleet Utd so that might have had something to do with playing the game there.

The Broncos to play Sheffield Eagles at Ebbsfleet Utd FC on the 3rd of July

I shall be in Kent that weekend for a reunion so will go to the game, and hopefully the posters on here who live in Kent and East Sussex and South Essex will turn up as well

I think you are being funny !! By the way, where is the erstwhile @ManofKent. Since the LB move to Plough Lane that he regularly lauded has turned into the predicted by actual LB fans s/show, he's gone missing.

The broncos will be back in superleague within 3 years rebranded as the london Dons

 

You heard it here first

York and newcastle will also be there with plans for northwales crusaders in a 15 team super league

Each team playing each other home and away

Just say it out loud, "The London Dons" and you'll work out why it will never happen.

You stand more chance of getting Wimbledon Broncos.

But that will only happen in the season we move to Sutton.

Presumably so. A quick look at their social media shows they have had renovation work to their pitch so I assume it needs time to recuperate, though Gillingham are playing on it two weeks after in a pre-season game. 

[crashmon]

The only way you have a London brand in superleage is if the Broncos fold, and a new team comes in.

But can you imagine the screams from Yorkshire if a new London team was shoehorned into Super League over say Batley or York.  Batley have been punching above their weight for several seasons now

So who will be the clubs dropped from Super League to make way for these teams?

[Jughead]

I don’t believe there is a person out there who believes London Dons is a marketable brand.

Quite! The Dons is a toxic brand (due do association with MK Dons) and one which Wimbledon would be horrified by!

I don't care what London call themselves but the Dons is not toxic to AFCW.

As I said before just say LONDON DONS out loud to know why that should never be the name.

Slightly of topic, if Broncos get relegated (hope not) will they lose there academy / scholarship  status? If they do it will really help Skolars and Southern Conferance teams in London.

That sounds more like two (or more) steps back for one step forwards.

Ah yes, the player pool being decimated. What a good thing that would be for the sport and the two respective clubs. 

[Ivarr the Boneless]

The player pool is already struggling badly in Southern junior RL from what I'm seeing / hearing. Quite where Broncos Academy will be able to recruit from, if it survives, is becoming a real issue 

[Ivarr the Boneless]

Not seen anything formal but some media outlets are reporting Jermaine Coleman has been sacked.

Not all Broncos fans are convinced he's the root cause of the problems this season. It'll be interesting to see if the change makes a difference or whether this is just a variant on the "it was the location of the ground that caused all the problems, our new one is perfect" line we've heard a few times.

I don't see how changing the coach makes any difference. There be a 1-2 game bounce but nothing fundamental is going to change.

[newbe]

Interesting to see who will takes over the asylum? Dare say there will be some one who thinks they can do it. Will they pay the coin to get a coach down from up North or even Oz.

[OriginalMrC]

Don't think he was the right man for the job. But the players he had at his disposal also aren't good enough. Supposedly he was recruited due to his connections in London and the South. However the exodus of players before the season started suggested he didn't have quite the sway the club thought he had. Ultimately he's paid the price but I wonder will Hughes act and make changes to his incompetent management team also
