Stags have a great reputation having built the club up through the ranks. The idea that a supporter owned club does not consult with its members goes against the ethos of supporter ownership. On such a big decision the matter should be put to the members.

Hemel should stay with the clubs history of using players from the catchment area and developing local talent. the game will not expand by doing this, no matter what level Hemel, London B and London S play at.

A long standing breeding ground of local southern talent for our game. Keep the Stags in Hemel

This is a ridiculous idea and the club should be in Hemel, training out of Hemel with players that represents Hemel and not just traveling down to play a game.

Ernie// Well done for organising this. Whilst we should all recognise the huge debt of gratitude to Bob as chair - there would be no club without him - and to his desire to have pro rugby in the Stag's roadmap, there comes a time to recognise the dream has come to an end. The history, continuing aspirations and local links should not be burnt on a misguided bonfire of ambition. In short, this has turned a dream into a nightmare. To Bob, Troy and the rest of the board, I can only say I hope you realise you are in a hole - so do the sensible thing and stop digging.

Becoming Dewsbury Reserves is a complete waste of time, effort and money. No to the move.

How can this help to grow the game outside the M62 corridor when a prominent and established club in the south relocates it's first team to Dewsbury . What does this do to the youngsters on the south who have ambitions of making it through the ranks at Hemel . Probably drive them into the arms of Rugby Union. An untapped seam of talent lost.

Been supporting League In the south for forty years (Hull FC is still my main focus us) and the idea of the Stags effectively relocating to West Yorkshire is just a mad scenario. Is this somebody's idea of getting success!! There are more than enough teams for players to support in West Yorkshire without somebody else coming in. Put the work in Hertfordshire where there are loads of players looking for games and support the "Greatest Game" down here!!!

This is nuts. After 30 years of sensible decisions Bob Brown has dropped a big one here. Not too late to accept its wrong and change their mind.
I this just fundamentally wrong
Just wrong!
