Reminiscent of the Crusaders era. At least then we could import some semi decent Aussies some of whom, I seem to recall, lived in one house and had a prawn importing, amongst others, business to supplement their income.

Last time we heard anything publicly from St David of Swinton
https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2018/nov/29/london-broncos-david-hughes
Ego massaging piece where he clearly states he's not giving up and how perfect Ealing is for us as a CLUB.
He goes on about putting down roots with a comment about curious locals .....the 101 of Broncos Marketing.....hope that the neighbours pop in to have a look, but don't invite them.....let the "aura/mystery" of the game attract them.

If he walks, then this article is his epitaph......he just wouldn't be told by anyone.

As for part time. With no central funding, what sort of team will Monkey lover and his clique of 50 fanboys bankroll at £18 a ticket?

A PT Broncos side would be nailed on relegation favs. Its not like being a PT side up north.

I said this last year when the ape was suggesting we could go PT; it would be a disaster for the club. It's incredibly difficult to get northerners to move to London for a FT contract as it is, we've seen that time and again for decades now, so they sure as hell aren't going to do it for a PT contract and a bit of bar work on the side. Not anyone of any quality anyway. Meanwhile the best local players will head north for FT contracts straight out of our academy. We'll be left with scraps.

Besides which, if money is that tight, the ape should be the first one against the wall.

Why wait for money to be tight?
