Hi everyone ive been reading the forums with interest to see if the bronco's would survive and they have and ive been following the arrangement with ground and soccer club and new signings. hope the season goes well and you beat the drop and your crowds are up a bit on last season.

But if you are relegated has anyone on here ever though of a group of fans banding together and making an offer for the club... then as group of shareholders maybe even including current owner, owner of barnet, plus group of fans turned shareholders. I mean if did get relegated shares would be relatively cheap if the owner wants out or to reduce there stakehold. Under the new system coming in after 2015 promotion is possible! also you could have a proper board at the club i dont think bronco's even have a board do they? board could lobby for assistance with basic promotion from RFL or even teach the RFL how to promote and what you need (within reason obviously) things like getting contra advertising on sky tv to promote attending bronco's games, cross promote have bronco's info in programme, billboards, crowd anouncements etc at Wembley for challenge cup final. lock in a deal with the RFL for them to fund or partially fund london academy combine with bronco's, skolars, hemel, all the sides in the south of the UK.

Gutterfax your obviously a dedicated bronco's supporter and got some insightful points but you come across like youve lost the plot a bit at the clubs past failures. The glass is probably less than half full i am a realist but to much negativity drives people away there are some positives you have a glass and there some reasonable amout of water in it thats of drinking quality enjoy.... to put things in perspective The 2013 Wellington Rugby League Grand Final drew a smaller crowd than the bronco's average home crowd last year and as im sure you know the thats the highest level of rugby league available in wellington barring one off game the nz warriors played here last year!

life is good sometime enjoy the season bronco's whatever happens and good luck

Gutters, read what other folk post, a lot of us agree with a lot of what you say. But its basically getting very tedious you replying to every thread with the same waffle on stats, gus, the hive, the stooo, we are all doomed. Ffs mate you sound like TR after a game but in negative.

You can never have enough Gus bashing.

Half time entertainment should comprise him being placed in stocks for us to lob fruit at.

Even Paddock would come back for that I expect.

stocks and fruit sounds like a good plan!

I agree with you. Lots of us, including me, have had a good moan about the clubs shortcomings. Personally, I've made my point so I don't feel the need to repeat it.

Gus is pretty dim though.

Perhaps you should repeat it only in crayon & in words of 2 syllables or less?

Point of order. There are 18 threads on the front page of the London Broncos forum and this one, the MARKETING THREAD and the Catalans game thread are the only ones where I have berated Gus or delivered stats, whilst questioning the validity of the plan for the future or the reasoning behind us even moving in the first place. The Catalan thread game thread BTW was where I was positive about the result until paddock piped up about me being deluded and even then I posted [u1 entry [/uthat was tongue in cheek and ended with some stats on Mr A. Morley (which you responded to BTW)...the rest of my Gustastical negativity is in this thread, meaning there are other 16 threads surrounding the team, ticketing, Memberships, Visas, Wigan in London and loads of other nice fluffy stuff for those of a nervous disposition.....



2/18 is about 11% of the threads on the London landing page. If you feel the need to exaggerate the amount of threads I am actually being negative in, it points to you spending far too much time reading my posts rather than the ones like the U19's at Hemel at the same time Gus will be hiding behind Blake Solly and David Lawrenson.
Have to laugh at the need for the RFL to be present to give the forum any credence.

I think to be effective it would need to be one syllable combined with pain compliance.

Damned if they do and damned if they don't of course.

I shan't be attending but imagine that some of those who do would be pleased at the opportunity to question Mr Solly.

How so? The "fans forums" promised in 2013 were nothing to do with the RFL. The only reason he wants Solly there now is because Solly was the one that closed the deal with AK. Hughes was playing hard ball and the RFL needed us for 2014 to keep Sky happy.....or are you one of those who believe that the Hive deal for 2014 is a cracking bit of business?



Q1. Mr Solly. What do you believe are the long term benefits of the new tenancy agreement you helped negotiate for the club past the end of this licencing period? Can you assure us that the move to the Hive at the 11th hour wasn't only pressed for and guaranteed by the RFL to ensure an easy transition to 12 clubs at the end of the year and to protect the TV deal which was signed with a 14 team competition in mind?

Q2. Mr Lawrenson. What Marketing and Media assistance will you be giving the Club in the coming season to try and arrest the alarming decline in attendances and interest? Is this level of assistance higher or lower than previous year?

Q3. Mr MacKay. Is the new tenancy at the Hive and the subsequent agreement for them to carry out marketing and administration an admission by you that the £6,000,000 in losses incurred over the last 3 seasons, together with the total waste of about 10% of this on bad marketing, proves you are bereft of any idea of how to give the club a fighting chance of survival?

Q4. To them all. What steps (if any) are CURRENTLY being taken to make London Broncos a viable Championship level organisation, or will the club and RFL make those decisions after we are relegated?

Cracking questions GF! Thanks!Great contribution.I trust these have been emailed also? Here is the email that they have asked us to email the questions to; david.lawrenson@rfl.uk.com. Really think this open communication will be good to take the club forward, to let it all out, so to speak, and start afresh.
