I think we all agree that the club needs to be run on a professional and sustainable basis and that a long-term plan needs to be followed.

However, like m1234 I'm just not understanding the notion that Championship rugby league is the end of the world. I'm looking forward to seeing some of the grand old names of the sport play the Broncos in 2015. I wouldn't be fussed if we spent 10 years in the Championship so long as the team was competitive and business wasn't run as a basket case.

I just wish the club would come out with some firm and positive plans for next year. Relegation seems to have kicked off a bout of worst case scenario and speccies are filling in the gaps in what we know with doom and gloom. This is understandable but ultimately destablising.

If Broncos are strong in the Championship then I believe that is more likely to attract fans than seeing them battered in SL. When i first came on here I was told Broncos would be dead in 6 months and that the Barnet chairman would have nothing to do with them if they got relegated, I didn't believe it then and I believe it less so now.

I'm upbeat that Broncos can be competitive in Championship and progress at the Hive with the stadium growing with them. I have enjoyed some of the Rugby I saw when Broncos made a game of it, but as a sport, a one sided Rugby league game is a poor spectacle imo and unlikely to persuade casual goers to come back. I have no prior baggage of the 'good old days' and that makes it easier for me to just see things as they are now rather than what has been lost and I'm sure that helps me to be more positive than those who are bitter about how things have gone.

I think the new structure will suit Broncos as well. They will still get TV coverage, they will have a chance to compete for top four and if successful they will finish the season with competitive games against stronger opposition. Bring it on!!

Melf, good post!

All the panellists on Super League Backchat were surprisingly positive about us on Tuesday night, although they reckoned it'd take a couple of years for us to get back into the big time. Perhaps there's life in the old dog yet.

Agree about the panellists but that *rsehole Studd can't disguise his glee at us dropping out of SL.

Wish I could stop myself watching "Cackchat"....it only winds me up!

He was like a dog with 2 dicks!
