The RFL need to step in in some shape.......the recent platitudes from Wood about "improving" strategy means nothing without some actual action by the sports governing body.
In the year 2000, Huddersfield Giants won 4 games, lost by an average of 19 points a game and were watched by 3,392.......fast forward to now and with clever and persistant use of KD's cash, they are challenging again and have doubled their average to over 7,000. They have repeatedly asked the locals to come and watch them....ticket offers, deals for students etc have all been used to coax locals to the club...
London in Y2K finished just above Hudds in front of 3,430 fans.......fast forward now and we are still cellar dwellers with 34% less fans. The club do nothing in the way of local marketing activity other than place an advert in the local free rag....they have never leafleted the locals, but instead have tried to target the entire city.....a pointless excercise.
Someone at the RFL needs to sit down with the club and find out why we are going backwards.....it is plain to see that if left to continue, it's not going to end well for the club or the sport for that matter.'"
Someone at the RFL needs to sit down with Lenegan and tell him its OK to have an interest in two clubs. |

| Quote: Hedgehog King "Tbf Huddersfield's renaissance has been remarkable and they've had more their share of luck (like not being relegated when finishing bottom because of events elsewhere). I don't think they are a fair yardstick especially since they have the advantage of playing at the one ground.
Obviously though going backwards as quickly as Broncos have is pretty terrible.'"
The lack of relegation did far more harm than good to Huddersfield, as evidenced by the progress made when we were eventually allowed to go down and rebuild. Can't really think of any other pieces of 'luck' Fartown have had over the past 40 years other than KD marrying a Giants fan! |

Freedom for supporters of the government, only for members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. freedom is always and exclusively for one who thinks differently.

As I remember it the rebuild had already started in the season Huddersfield were relegated. They started the turn around halfway through the season and it was only their dire performances before that that sent them down. I don't think that going down (only confirmed on the last day of the season when Wakefield won to finish just above them) did Huddersfield any good, but it did them no long term harm either. |

Best thing that happened to us was relegation, we were nowhere near good enough or ready as a club to play with the best in the country at the time - we were kept up 4 years on the trot by different reasons and no one really wanted to be there as we weren't enjoying it and weren't going to improve by being kept up.
We did improve when we brought Tony Smith in but we still needed to go down to regroup and come back when we as a club were ready.
That's probably what London needed when the licensing came in - time to start from scratch if you like and build a club back up from a solid foundation.

As a long time Broncos follower I can tell you now that there is no way I will be renewing my season ticket. The only way this club can move forward is if the rfl get their tight hands out of their pockets and find us a proper home whilst also promoting the game at grass roots level down here.

I think they should kidnap people for a day and make them attend games whilst blackmailing them that if they don't look happy they will shoot their family pets.
Bound to get the attendences up. |
