There are huge areas of London which remain untapped and I think RL has had a bit of an obsession with West London and parts of Surrey because that's where there's a large union fanbase. I've just moved to Bromley and in my view this area is ripe for the taking for a pro sports team and the right market for RL. The borough itself has a population of nearly 400k and has the highest density of green belt land in london with swathes of open spaces, perfect for developing a RL facility. Even better is that land is cheaper out here than in other parts of London. Another big untapped area is Greenwich.

I wonder if the Broncos or RFL take a strategic approach to these type of things.

Bromley u13 take on their counterparts from St Albans before the Broncos v Fev game 25th June, get along and support junior rugby league in the region.

Still a lot of old Broncos supporters in Bexley and Greenwich from the days at the Valley, plenty of interest in RL in SE London

As Rob says South East London/ North Kent is an area that would be ideal for Broncos to move in to.
David Hughes obviously considered this by playing those on the road games at Gillingham. With some success off the pitch if not on.
Ebbsfleet Utds ground is currently being redeveloped and would suit us perfectly. close to HS1 railway station and A2 for access.
Central Park Sittingbourne, a bit further out, but a fairly modern stadium, currently used for greyhound racing and speedway.
This we could make our own with. No other sports teams for competition. If the right offer was made, I am sure it could be purchased at a reasonable cost, at the moment it does not seem to thrive.
Just needs some vision and investment. the opportunity is there, however this is the Broncos.

Why move again from one side of London to the other again we would loose all of the hard work put in developing rugby league in the schools around Ealing, not to say any new supporters we have picked up.

Don't think the thread was suggestion the broncos move!

So what does this mean if it does not suggest another move. Another move would probably be the final nail in the Broncos coffin

This was the opening line of the first thread, then asking if Broncos or the rfl had a strategy to tap the area. I read that as general strategy, don't think it was suggesting a m9ve put that way it was bosty who mentioned broncos moving.

The simple fact is that if the club has any ambition it is going to have to relocate. Ealing Trailfinders suits our current needs. However for Super League it is a non starter.

Now that's the truth, but hey no one else would have us
