| Quote mickyb1234="mickyb1234"not what I said mate!
I am not asking what you would have done or what you would do?
and I mean preston grasshoppers! who do you think I am talking about on the London broncos forum
I asked what YOU are going to do about it? apart from waffle, which is actually all you can do
We get it! we know! you have said it over and over and over again but TBH
Its very dull.
The basic fact is we are stuck with what we have, as fans as you are and supporters as we are here there is actually nothing we can do apart from turn up or not turn up'"
Nail on the head there Michael.......turn up OR NOT as the case has shown. As for doing nothing, I'd buy this club (or what's left of it) in a heartbeat and turn it around inside 5 years if we were still at the stoop....in SL witha 3,700 average as we were when he started ing things up......take it debt free of Hughes hands for a quid, 200k a year rent for 13 home games with the rest of the sky money spent 40/60 on marketing and the team.......not wasting hundreds of thousands employing s to get us to 10th either.......
But no......the genius ed about 30 million against the wall and look where it's got us.
Furious doesn't do my mood justice as a description!

| Mate, I know I rag you a bit for some of the posts.
Am just trying to point out the fact, that in reality WE can do very little about the situation, its not sitting back and accepting it, or being happy about it.
The only power we have as fans is turn up or not turn up, pontificate as much as we like, whinge moan, quote figures and percentages, BUT SIMPLE FACT DH is the clubs financial backer, without him in the last couple of years most likely the club would not have been competing at any level.
Why are we not blaming Mr Lenagan for bailing on us BTW?
All your points, we get, we know, I dont think anyone on here actually disagrees with what you say in regards to how we got here, but saying "we have to do this, we should have done that" is pretty pointless, we do not have the power to make it so, thats until one of the die hard fans wins the lottery.

| Michael, all that has happened in 2014 is that David Hughes has felt a little less guilty every week about the basket case his decision making has turned the club into.....and with each passing week I am told "there's nothing we can do about it", as the fans trickle away, the revenue streams dry up and we trundled towards assured relegation. Next year, we have a few bob less to spend, but enough to get us through the season, but the year after that, we are well and truly buggered.....and the while, I'll continue to hear "there's nothing we can do about it". Then, as we look towards 2016 with no fans and therefore no income other than the pittance handed down by the RFL, the "full time" squad will become part-time/semi-professional and the chorus will be "there's nothing we can do about it"........until we pass the Skolars and Hemel on our way down to the end of the line........but those of us left will take solace that "there wasn't anything we could have done to stop it"...

GF we all know that with our owner we move closer and closer to the end but short of buying the club off him (and I mean this seriously) what is there that the fans can do practically in addition to turning up to games, encouraging / dragging along friends and family to do likewise, joining the LBSA and turning up to its meetings and promotional activities ( riding the train, SOO at Walkabout) and generally supporting it as it aim to make the Broncos more of a club and less of just being a team ? Please practical suggestions that the few hundred or so of us that are left can actually do.
The lottery win would be fantastic but as I've been playing the bugger for years, and can't remember the last time I won a tenner, I don't see that option ending any time soon

| Yeah, well said Rob.
As for DH, it should be remembered that without him, there would be no London Broncos so it seems rather churlish to keep slagging the man off, imo.

| Yep, well said. Who knows, in 18 months time GF might be wrong for once.
Being a supporter is all about blind optimism or resigned acceptance. We go and we support, but we don't hold the strings.
