Quote: Donnyman "1. I'm just an observer of a sad situation, I've followed London's journey since they were the main story on BBC news back in 1980 when they were Fulham. First game was a 9552 crowd against Wigan. Their hoisting to Superleague saw this crowd beaten when 9846 turned up for the visit of Brisbane Broncos. The club were on a high and fantastic to see. So was Branson leading the team out at Wembley in 1999.

It was David Lawrenson who wrote how Mr. Hughes and Tony Rea discussed the future of the club after Branson's pull out in a discussion that ended with an agreement that there was no point Mr. Hughes "Throwing good money after bad". The record is Mr. Hughes has thrown an enormous sum at London and we all may thank him for doing that. We all knew things were likely to come to an end and the 2014 1,000 crowd against Catalans in a season London could only beat a Leeds reserve team looked like the last. However time and again Hughes ponders his situation and time and again he comes back.

You have no "evidence" at all that London will go on forever, and no "evidence" that the move to Wimbledon will happen but if you follow the fans comments across the social media their feeling is that this is finally the end. It's a discussion point like it or not, and this is a discussion site like it or not........

2. Well what "evidence" do you have Ward was sacked for [i"Performance reasons"?[/i If you look at Mr. Ward's performance since he took over the coaching reigns it actually is very good indeed. He did a fantastic job with the youngsters and got the club promotion to Superleagye from a very competitive Championship, and he knocked over Toronto in their own back yard. London may have been relegated 2019 but they played their socks of and there was nothing between the bottom four clubs.

Ward is a great bloke and an excellent coach who has done a great job and London are fifth in the table. [i"performance reasons"[/i? Show me some real evidence
OK fair enough. I accept you have nothing to offer.

Who is Donnyman trying to offend ? Not obvious to me, unlike Jean Capdouze & Sir Kev Sinfield etc, who it was supporter of M62 clubs.

Quote: Budgiezilla "Who is Donnyman trying to AND FAILING TO offend ?'"

Edited for accuracy.

London Broncos have been reliant on 1 man for far too long. I don't personally as a fan or professionally as a marketer agree with either the way the RFL/SL have cut London loose since Lenagan left, or the way in which Hughes has tried to "make his point" by financing his team and academy at the expense of his CLUB.

Now London find ourselves at deaths door.....with blame apportioned equally between the RFL/SL/Hughes....but more shocking is that it is still possible that some teams may well be culled in the next couple of months as the game prepares for 20 or 24 Franchised sides, in 2 divisions, including 2 French teams and possibly a few more from outside the M62 bus pass reach...including London!
I see no reason for London to move to Plough lane with a minibus load of fans unless they know something that we don't.......it makes no sense to go part time but throw 200k on rent.....

Quote: Donnyman "Here is more on how London Broncos may fold, for you and the genuine fans on here.....'"

I told the club they'd be part time and virtually out of business inside 10 years back in 2012 when they hid behind the Quins RL being the reason for their abject failings and reverted to the broncos with a cricket club logo.
Does that make me a genuine fan or just a supporter who was sick of watching the team he followed being butchered?
