| The main reason they should change the name is because it causes confusion.

| Wondered where the option for 'still a supporter but now living too far away to get to games' was. Incidentally, don't forget that Dave Lister is Victor Meldrew's love-child. The shock of the club becoming successful and well supported would probably kill him

Tad harsh, maybe the biggest dreamer, but it should be the aim of a sports club to own their own facilities, when feasible and financially viable.

Just because someone does not agree with your opinion! it sums up how pitiful you are, don't you think we have enough problems with the number against us, without getting so petty as you always seem to make it?
It was posted by Super League Fans on facebook and of course without fail all the Bigoted northern gremlins come out, heads in the sand as always, they would rather see the game die before us succeed! in London. They posted the link I just HOPE that it does not mean the whole survey idea will be now be completely useless with all the many Northern friends submitted comments and opinions!

IF we only ever want to pay rent forever that is a very blinkered attitude, so I am a dreamer then, well I would rather be glass half full and think we can have a future rather than stick in the muds half glass empty all the time, as far as The Penguin it takes a lot more these days to upset me then him and his constant attacks at anything I may say different than his single tracked opinion! so no sleep lost there

Someone who thinks we should leave The Stoop for some sort of mythical facility of our own with money grown on trees is a fool. It might be a subjective assessment but I don't really care.

| Revert to the London Bronco's and stay at the Stoop.
Realistically there is never going to be the finance to fund our own ground.
Even the Saints Board must have some sleepless nights over their new ground. Poor attendences at Widnes, realtively speaking, at a time when they need the cash.
As for going on the road, where is the evidence to even suggest that it will actually increase attendences? For every additional fan you add you will probably one ( no evidence available to back that up either).

| Done - London Broncos (with suggestion of London Ravens or London Lions) playing in Red and remaining at The Stoop. We've done enough moving stadiums, we play at a great venue, we need to lay down roots over the long term.

But as I stated how do they recognise which are the opinions of true supporters when the link has been given by rugby league fans on facebook?
We may never be able to own our own ground but we may be able to be joint owners something that will never happen at The Stoop, we must start looking as Plan B if we see no improvement at the stoop, what happens if Quins RU ever want to kick us out, though they must be laughing all the way to the bank currently.
Yes St Helens showed they got their business plans badly wrong! why did they move out of Knowsley Road before work on the new ground was even under way? it took them all the time to get St Helens supporters to Knowsley Road never mind Widnes, 7,000 again last week, will that even cover basic costs of players wages. St Helens Council invested into the new ground which did not please a lot of residents when only 3% of the Town support or show allegiance to the club. But look at Warrington, average attendances or 7,500 at Wilderspool (which is still used by the reserve teams and amateur clubs for finals) and now 10,000 plus. Next season I would be shocked if Saints do not attract average 14,000 plus attendances, plus they have facilities for conferences, events and community use 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year bringing in income, also I feel it what has attracted Typhoo tea to become their main shirt sponsor for the next two seasons, with promotion on tea boxes! etc
At times you have to think outside of the box and not just sit comfortable, if you do not take risks will you ever see real development.

I want our own home, but we shouldn't be the desperate middle-aged woman who jumps on a man when he shows her the slightest bit of attention, we should do it for the right reasons and those are when it is feasible behinds the scenes and when we can afford to do it without impacting our limited resources. We don't want to go down the road of Oxfords Kassam Stadium or Valencia's half-built stadium when money runs dry.
I am totally supportive of any preparitive research, either for a purpose-built stadium of our own or potential new stadiums as our lease at the Stoop ends at the end of the 2013 season and Harlequin F.C. may decide they do not need us (cut your nose to spite your face maybe but old in their ways union types are as bad as old in their way league types) and we may need to find somewhere that can accomodate our needs.
In the medium-term I am happy to stay at the Stoop, the atmosphere seems so much more positive being just a few feet closer to the action, and as others have stated it does offer a quality match-day experience. I'm not afraid to look beyond the Stoop, happy to stay there for now, but we must be proactive in looking after ourselves because our landlord may kick as out in a few years and it isn't like we can kip on a mates sofa for a few weeks.
