| I would say that the move to Wimbledon leaves the club at the " Last chance saloon. "
If the move fails to bring in a major increase in attendance and the club must wean itself off of David Hughes money.
Then the club is probably finished.

Unless significant changes are made I would suggest the club are more 'up creek without a paddle' than 'last chance saloon'.

| Interestingly, AFC don't seem to have announced attendance figures for any of their home games this season as far as I can see.

True.
No one is going to want to see us turned over by mid table teams in a 95% empty stadium. Albeit a nice looking one.

| Maybe the club could raise money by running a sweep on the last of this year's squad to sign elsewhere.

| No surprise with Richards leaving. No doubt he wants to stay fulltime.

| Perhaps this thread should be renamed Broncos Outs 2022?

| I’d worked out all our northern pros would leave but assumed all southern Academy products would stay but the more I think about it I’m not sure that’s right. Surely PT only really works if you are a student have some kind of itinerant job or run your own company. Older players who know the ropes can probably run 2 careers in tandem but young guys will need to put time and effort into developing their primary long term career. I can’t see how if you are starting out as a teacher or work as an estate agent or some such that constantly sloping off to training to end a few extra quid will actually work. Not all players want to be casual labourers or fitness instructors. Does PT really work outside the heartlands?

I guess it works for plentty of union sides and football teams but will be a big change for the Broncos. However, I'm sure the club have thought it all through and have a briiliant plan in place.

If you are a part time player with a trade. Moving to London may have appeal. The money that can be earned in London is enormous when compared to say Yorkshire.
It is for the club to have contacts to get these players jobs.

| Yes I can see how that might work. As you say there are lots of jobs in London but we do need to have ins. I have a nasty feeling we don’t.
