No offence but if the job of SL coach was that easy then we'd all do it. You assume that the players that you would buy would have any interest in joining Broncos.

Secondly you assume that onfield success would lead to dramatically improved attendances. With a club as low profile as Broncos in their home market, it is highly unlikely that many people would ever hear of the club's improvement.

Only the media can rescue Broncos because the club needs a huge amount of publicity which it cannot afford to pay for. Sky could do this easily but they aren't interested.

And the kind of money you are talking about investing wouldn't make any difference. It is a drop in the ocean. What do you think that would buy in London? Not to mention there is no explanation of where it would come from.

1. the standard of players currently at the club is an pointer to the waste of money I am referring to....
2. Never mentioned on field success.....i said I would get them through the gates.
3. 57,700 per gameor 750k a year would buy you a decent wedge of media in SW London......and that's where you need tomarket, not 45 miles away in Gillingham or an hours drive away in Leytonstone
4. DH pumps 1.5 mill into the club every year.....as I said, give me half of it.

The RFL and IL didn't think I was mad in 2007......only the ever failing London SL franchise did.....since then they've DROPPED 20% attendance wise ...............or in my warped maths, about 200k a year.

I don't have a magic wand, but I do have the idea, passion and belief in the game that is lacking in London....ask any of the die hard 800 or so ST holders if they think I am right....

If you were given half of it then what would the club run on? Maybe the reason why Broncos don't spend much on advertising is that they need every penny they can get to stay afloat.

Secondly the gates don't really depend much on the quality of players because the target market have neither heard of or care about the players that you might attract.

1.3 mill from SKY, gate receipts and whatever residuals they could muster currently about 1 million and the other half of DH's money....once you grow the crowds, the sponsors become interested and you sell corporate boxes..the revenue increases. By year 3, DH wouldn't neet to ever put in cash again......and sponsors/co-owners would be beating a path to him.


The Landlords did this from 2005 onwards...they invested heavily in marketing and retaining customers.....they engaged their audience and they made it work......they invested wisely. 3k gates to 14k gates.....they did that in 5 years.

It takes balls and hard work......neither are in evidence at the club presently

how many years as there been RL in London,there support tells you how keen the London people are, some years ago we took 100 buses of support to the club, when the attendance was announced, it was less than the number of fans we took

If that actually happened, then logic (not your strong point) would suggest that the crowd was massively underestimated by the ground talliers.

Pot calling kettle if ever I heard it.

I'll bet there not only you and me who pick up on that one

the logic is that we turned up in numbers, due to a promotion with Jungle.com, the stand allocated for Cas was packed, and as usual the other 2,& 7/8ths were empty terraces, nothing unusual about that, they play at a RU ground, in the middle off god nose how many RU grounds, and more than enough Football Grounds, the support is not there, in the winter its RU, & football, in summer its Cricket & RL, but support for RL is poor to say the least, when they play away its like the kids book wheres Wally,when looking for there fans, London is saturated with sport & RL, is not welcome, i wish it was, but they need more than 2500 to 3000 attendances on game day, RL is struggling to keep well known northern clubs heads above water, but all you hear is expansion, theres been that much hot air blown in to that bubble it cant be far of bursting

I can only presume that you mean Harlequins RU by "landlords". Yes they did this against a backdrop of clubs doing this same across the country and they did it in an area where rugby union was popular. Broncos have to do it when attendances are going up slowly if at all and their local area has neither heard of or gives a cr4p about RL.

It is easy to slag off Bronquins but they've had several changes of ownership and none have got close to what you suggest. I don't think that Brisbane Broncos know nothing about running a rugby league club. Nor do I think that Richard Branson is incapable of generating publicity.

Castleford, 8,067...year, 2000.

By the way......100 coaches at 45 seats a pop is 4,500.......urban myth by the way......Jungle.com paid for 48 coaches....but keep up the good work

Why can people not accept the fact we are a regional sport, embrace the fact.
