In truth, it depends on the scenario. Like I said already, the Broncos for me have gone from one bad decision to another. Maybe things are changing, I hope so, I really do. ML seems to be upbeat and he knows more than me so heres hoping. But when I started following the Broncos, we were a SL club, proper stadium, decent squad and a decent crowd. This is not a moan about how we went from there to here, thats been done to death. TBH im gutted seeing where we are now, 800 odd fans playing in a nice park. PT would feel like another kick in the teeth. I say I would walk away, dont know if I could tbh, but I dont think I would be as "involved" as I feel with it now.

Its not the downsizing that is my main worry as that would make
economic sense....its the uprooting ourselves rumour that has me wondering if I could be bothered to schlep all the way over to Leyton Orient...Surely Trailfinders is a cheaper alternative to that....

So whats yr view on a move if it was linked to a new owner and new investor. Might be the difference between survival of the club or not.
If it resulted in big investment and a team that could compete at top level, would that affect yr thoughts on travelling?

Good for you. Maybe some people are not as great a fan as you!! Maybe some, over the years are just becoming a bit in different to the Broncos. Its easy to understand why.

Why do you find that disappointing.

If a new investor came in and threw in a small or even large fortune then that would obviously be fantastic for the club...Unlike some though , I do feel that a 2 hour + each way journey to the other side of London is too much of a lump out of my weekend ..It genuinely saddens me to say this but apart from picking a handful of games to attend including a few aways then that will be me done as a season ticket holder of over 20 years...

yep orient would be a bit of a journey....but then so was craven cottage, crystal palace, Chiswick,Charlton,orient and the list goes on(the hive was easy though)...everywhere is a journey for someone.
but i guess with 40 years of travelling to watch them...not sure i could stop now

As for a new investor lets wait and see

If the club had come out with this officially, a lot more people would be sitting at home feeling a little more like LB Management are in control. Its good its been shared on this forum, but it deserves a wider audience.

I agree, in this context, signing players could be counter productive but explaining this to fans does no harm.

SC members received an update yesterday. The club is setting up a mechanism for the SC to communicate to members using the same platform as the lottery.
