SR why do you need evidence that we are gonna be at the Hive! The only person that has suggested we will not be at the Hive is some geezer who has been nowhere near the place.
The news is there is no news!!!

My point is more the evidence of promoting next year. Also making the sell to current walk up fans wouldn't go a miss, nor to the wider world. The squad being put together is evidence enough of intent for next season on the playing front. Some evidence of life off field wouldn't go amiss.

I started supporting a club.......I don't care what division they play in or where they play, if they can return to that club ethos again then that's good enough for me.

Ok the 1500 ish fans that you mentioned disappeared last year could quite easily come back you know, or are you suggesting that people who stop coming never start coming again.

Some of them could well return to see competitive team in the Championship, but travelling support will be significantly less so I doubt average attendances will improve.

1.I'LL TYPE IT SLOWLY.....JUST FOR YOU. IF WE ARE AT THE HIVE NEXT YEAR IT WILL BE ON SIMILAR OR WORSE TERMS THAN WE WERE AT THE STOOP. THIS IS NOT A BRAVE NEW DAWN.
2. The 1,500 that have left? that 1,500 represents 115% of what we have now Michael and YES, I am saying that they won't be back to watch us play Batley!
By the way.....4k is where we were before Hughes and his particular brand of club management took over. we are 2,700 light.......not 1,500! Next year we will not be the best supported club...we wont even be in the top 6 best supported clubs.....and I can assure you, a 1,280 average will not be the order of the day next year.

A lame attempt at shouting someone down.
I can't be bothered going round again, let me know when you have the actual figures.

Re: Homeless in 2015 : Fri Sep 05, 2014 9:25 pm  

Shame none of you could have seen the 850 at chiswick. Or roughly the same at palace and the thousands we've lost from early 80s to 90s. We've been folding since mid 90s. Before brisbane came in .... Then Branson.
Supporters and players in tears after thinking we were folding....
Real rollercoaster for some ... Think we lost 6,000 odd fans over those first few years too

1. Not shouting anyone down. Simply pointing out that the agreement for 2 years trumpeted in December 2013 for 2014 AND 2015 is no longer in place and that 2015's agreement is not yet confirmed.
2. Actual figures? 1,280 average over 12 games didn't generate enough revenue for AK.......see point 1 above

I'll rephrase to make it less ambiguous. Let me know when your source makes further claims about 2015 and you have the actual rental cost for Broncos staying at the Hive 2015. Until then I'm not interested in repeating the discussions we have already had multiple times and bored the asses of everyone else.

I have been told as recently as this week that Broncos are definitely at the Hive next season, whether it be on the second year of the 2 year deal or a renegotiated deal for a long term. As I said earlier, my understanding is the Hive are not keen on the second year of the deal and would prefer a longer deal in place and I completely understand why this would be the case given the position with whether Underhill is sold and a larger North stand is built to house the Broncos operation should they decide to stay beyond this year.

Let me make this clear. I can find nothing and no one that supports GFs claim that Broncos may be homeless in 2015 or even that they wont be at the Hive 2015.
