| You try getting to SW London for an 8.00 game after work. Thursday evening was such a stupid time to play this game.

Great for anyone working in London though. There are even more trains to Twickenham than on a weekend. I really don't see where the delays occur unless you are driving to the game from well outside of London. I was in the Wetherspoons by 18.30.

The M25 at rush hour on Easter Thursday? You try it. 2 hrs minimum from Harpenden.

This. If you want to go to a game after work and it's more feasable to get there from work on the train instead of driving, then go to work via the train (or cadge a lift in off someone). Not hard.

'this'
My personal circumstances aside our fans are spread all over S.E. so it was still a stupid time and day to play.

| Everyone knew there were going to be even less spectators at this one than London normally get but even so....VERY poor effort.
The problem is even if it was home fixture on a saturday evening against a big team like Wigan the crowd wouldn't be a whole lot better.

No problem at all for me getting to the ground by train for an 8.00 p.m. k-o.
Getting back home however is a different kettle of fish. If I'd gone, I would have been home at 1.15 a.m. Friday, assuming no train delays or cancellations. May be OK for some people but not me. I stayed home.

How much do you owe to Hughes? How much has he written off?
What re the net liabilities in your balance sheet?
Without Hughes you would have been history long ago. With a Hughes we would still have been a major force.
You really are a total and complete embarrassment to the decent London fans - which from my experience is all of them except Lister and yourself.
IMO we need a London SL club and it is spot on to applaud and support the development work being done there. And it is also right to recognise the difficulties the club has faced in building up a support base.
It's just a pity that you two seem determined to attack those friends you have.

By the way, some reckoned I'd need to change my bait, but I knew better

I think most readers will recognise derision as the last refuge of those who have just been made to look a fool.

If I cared what "most readers" recognise, I wouldn't post on these boards
London owe their owner money, money he will never see again and he knows it. At no stage has the Club I support "begged" for cash to keep them afloat, using emotional blackmail so as to ilicit finds from a public that are in no way responsible for the situation the club finds itself in.
FWIW, Listy is a Leeds fans and therefore his "pops" at the Bulls are to be taken with a pinch of salt, whilst I am the no1 anti-fan in London who rarely has a good word to say about the way the club is run....difference being, I accept that it is BAD MANAGEMENT AND INEPTITUDE..........you blindly defend the Bulls even though it is patently obvious that the current situation is down to BAD MANAGEMENT AND INEPTITUDE.
As of April 8th 2012, London Broncos are not in debt and do not face a winding up order...Bradford Bulls on the other hand have conned 480k out of the public and will in all probability raise the first 500k needed to save thyem...for now, but the 2nd 500k won't be so easy to come by.....you've already sold the family silver
