| Simply put, DH has saved between £500k and £750k a year on admin and marketing costs as well as rent. The top end of this, £750k could have been actually "raised" by finding an extra 2,884 fans per game paying a total of £20 for a ticket, beer and pie.
When our good buddy came on board we had 1,167 of these 2,884 fans but between his curry's, Hughes's pig ignorance/arrogance in recruiting the inept coach and players, the bad weather, the economy and the dog eating their homework, they managed to shed the fans instead of attracting them!
A quick email to a good friend at Quins FC informs us that in 2012 their marketing spend was REDUCED to £1,750,000.......IIRC the Salary cap there is about £4,000,000 and they averaged 15k with full corporate facilities.
In 2012 Broncos spent £200,000 on Marketing and £2,650,000 on the 1st team.......12,000 less average and no ing corporate sales.
It really is quite simple. Regardless of if the team is competitive or if the facilities are good, if you don't market it, then nobody will come.
In answer to paddocks question? Nothing has changed. The guy at Barnet will be pleased with the opening gate of the season and will put some posters up around the area. By the time we get to July we will be 18 rounds into the comp, on a 2,200 or so average and bolted on for last place. Late season visits of the big 4 in attendances will raise the average to closer to 3k, we will finish dead set last and if are not relegated, will repeat the dose in 2015 with between 15% and 25% less fans than 2014 because the increase in 2014 will dissolve once the RL community have ticked off the Hive of grounds they wanted to see a game at.
for anything to change, then an owner who is willing to plough 10 million in over 5 years and spend half of it on marketing is needed. All we have now is a new landlord with a new source of income and all of our revenues but no risk..... and we are paying him for the pleasure........genius!

They may do, but I doubt the issue will disappear just because the data has from the net.
Gus needs to contact each ST holder directly or at least issue a statement on the broncos website.
If the ICO do get involved, then the club would need to demonstrate they have taken the issue seriously.

I won't hold my breath.

| Most upbeat RL article in the Dail Telegraph I have ever seen in the year reviewhttp://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/10540363/Fond-farewells-and-drug-storms-how-sport-changed-in-2013.htmlrl
Rugby League Portion Below:
Rugby League
The revolution was never going to happen overnight. But in years to come, rugby league may well look back on 2013 as the year it began to pour forth from its northern heartlands and charm the entire country. The World Cup was a resounding success, despite England’s elimination at the semi-finals, and lived up to its billing as a truly national event.
Over 2.5 million people watched the heart-rending climax of England’s semi-final against New Zealand on the BBC - a higher audience than Sky Sports has managed for any football match so far this season. Not bad for a ‘fringe’ sport.
A sense of perspective is, of course, necessary. The rugby league World Cup will be no match in size or scale for its union counterpart in 2015. The continuing troubles of London Broncos are a reminder that getting people to a big event is not the same as getting them to a small one. But from a loud and chilly Rochdale to a heaving, captivated Wembley, the 13-man game is starting to make inroads. Between 35 and 40 per cent of tickets – just under 200,000, all told - were sold in the Midlands and the south. If just a few of those folk decide to tune in for the new Super League season in February, then the World Cup organisers can satisfy in a job well done.
And really, the old labels are becoming less and less relevant with each passing year. Like it or not, Britain is a more fluid, heterogeneous place than ever before. You can find Harvey Nichols in the north and Morrisons in the south. Stuart Lancaster loves league. Kevin Sinfield loves union. This year brought us closer to a point when league can stand or fall on its own visceral quality alone.
