Well put rant there DSWG, I agree with you that it's incredibly frustrating and makes you seriously consider whether you should be continuing to support.

It should be so easy these days to let us know about anything. Even if they can't say a definite confirmation of something, why not say that they're doing X (working out ST 2013 plan, finalising stadium, etc) and they can't confirm to us because of Y. At the very least we'd have a clue what's going on.

I've said elsewhere the lack of speech was shocking. Suddenly the presentations ended and we're supposed to just saunter off. TR would have been perfect to say something like he was glad so many people had stuck by the team during a difficult year, we help make the difference for the players and he hopes we'll be back next season. Whether it's true or not it at least it'll be positive for the crowd and re-invest everyone in supporting them.

To not say anything... very weak.

The London Broncos will cease to exist as a professional Super League RL entity if no other major investor can be found toreplace David Hughes or if the club continues to around with gimmicky marketing campaigns that are done on a shoe string and achieve nothing.
Brown, Hogg, Blanchard and now MacKay have, over 7 seasons, presided over a loss of 30% of the average attendance..that's more than 1,100 missing fans per game or about 300k in lost revenue......for 6 of these seasons, David Hughes has contolled the purse strings and IIRC, we have had 2 full time Marketing Managers.....bot who were so out of their depth it was farcical that they were employed in the first place.

I am not sure if Mr Hughes once had a dog that was run over by a marketing executive, but he seems almost fanatically adverse to spending a brass farthing on promotion or marketing. He patently believes that the locals should feel honoured to have a SL club in their midsts and should be googling their little hearts out to find out when our next home game is.....perish the thought that he'd ever send them an invite.

He believes, incorrectly BTW, that if the team win something, the fans will flock to the games.......we finished 4th and 2nd before the play-offs, made 2 play-offs finishing 5th and 6th and visited Wembley......not 1 fan was added to the averages in the seasons immediately after these "successes".......

Mr Hughes is 100% Entitled to run HIS club as he sees fit, but patently he is doing it badly and his recent facination with all things cricket points to him having lost the plot totally........

I repeat, to compare the way the club is currently run to an amateur pub team is an injustice to amateur pub teams.

So we're a bit of a black sheep and can't seem to do anything right. Maybe we should be kicked out of the Super League to teach us a lesson icon_rolleyes.gif

The London Broncos are not simply a black sheep who can't seem to do anything right.....The London Broncos are a professional Sports club and Business who have never attempted to do the right thing......there is a massive difference between doing something wrong and doing the wrong thing......HTH!


btw....When have I ever said that we should be kicked out of SL? What I have said since 2003 and what I am derided for repeating is that the club do not have a ing clue how to market themselelves.......and when DH walks away, nobody will need to kick the club out of SL.

I am Albert ing Einstein when compared to any of the tools employed by DH to promote/run the club.......and my intelligence, charm and charisma are only overshadowed by my arrogance icon_lol.gif
