I support what you are trying to do here and wish you well, but you wanting to talk to the owners doesn't mean they'd want to talk to you.
Anything that has connections with the club circa 2006-2013 needs to be gone for a "new dawn" to have any chance of success.....David Hughes has presided over the worst period of ownership/management/results in the 18 years of SL and blame for this fiasco has to be pretty much entirely laid at his feet for his terrible, almost criminal, decision making and appointment making. If he is involved after 2015, then you'd be better looking at sticking to creating your own club and growing it yourself.

Thanks for the encouragement and I do agree with your sentiment. The day is approaching fast though when David Hughes has to pass on the baton. I think there are enough committed League lovers to pick up that baton if offered. If not, as you rightly say, we'll do it ourselves from scratch!

The formation of a new club, be it in 2014 or 2015, should be the last thing on anyone's mind, in my opinion.

The key thing to do now, and this is purely my opinion, is to actually push on and actually form a Supporter's Trust.

Work out how much fees will be and if there will be different levels of membership, form a committee of people who have experience in specific areas (such as someone who works in finance as treasurer) and then, most importantly, work out at a public meeting what the Trust want to do, how they are going to go about achieving that and how long it will take.

I would also suggest making a professional offer (by letter, for example) to David Hughes, if he is to be chairman, to attend a meeting with the Supporters Trust so that the club and the Trust could liaise with each other about the future of the club.

Good idea Moe. I don't think anything should be ruled out. A trust owned Broncos with David Hughes as member number 1 would be something to work for, and a fitting tribute to David's commitment over many years.

I would get yourselves in touch with Supporters Direct if you haven't already. They proved very helpful to us (Wakefield) when setting up our Supporters Trust.

I wish you all the best because with the best will in the world getting the fans to buy into the idea is really difficult. Our Trust has been going for almost 3 years and we are really struggling to grow our membership. Maybe in your case it will be different as your aims are probably slightly different to what ours were, and as I said I wish you good luck with it.

Speak to Supporters Direct though, they would be very keen to help you with this I'm sure.
