[quote="dally messenger":1gysl9ow]was watching an nfl doco. on one of their teams and they used the term bomb to describe those long high passes from quaterback to running back and i think gibson took that idea, realized you cant throw the ball forward in RL and adapted it to a "bomb" kick we have[/quote:1gysl9ow] [quote="eels fan":1gysl9ow]You poor poor obsessed fat ex vichyballin potato thieving stoaway.[/quote:1gysl9ow]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_6679.png

They could move to Denmark and probably attract more fans than us! icon_cool.gif

quoteSums up the mentality and aptitude of your average RL fan.......I think you'll find that there are a great number of Union clubs in London, including Saracens and Harlequins. The fact that London Irish moved to Reading has more to do with the fact that the ground and clubhouse they own (purchased in 1931 for £1,300 and now worth an estimated £100,000,000 ) wasn't up to scratch or big enough to take decent sized crowds. Wasps have moved purely because they were shipping cash by the bucketload and are now in charge of their own destiny and london Scottish/Richmond will soon be back at the top table having being funded by the sale of scrum.com to ESPN for £millions. London Welsh are a basket case but still manage to attract more fans than we ever could.......

Laziness is the reason London Broncos never attracted decent crowds.......Hughes has dropped cash everywhere except in terms of marketing. Will the penny ever drop? Doubt it.
Here's a heartfelt suggestion. Put me on your ignore list. I know I am repetitive....but not as regular in my comments as the club are in managing to make the same mistakes time after time.
If you or the club want ideas for marketing and promotion, then PM me.....I now charge for my services and unlike the numpties employed by the club over the years, I work on a reward/consequence scenario......I deliver, I get rewards, I don't deliver, I get my contract ripped up.
I'm not starving!

Long live the Fulham-London Crusaders-Broncos Harley-Quids Broncos (again) RLFC!:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_22268.jpg



Nah, Lionel Road is dead in the water for us, but is still on for Hounslow Council and Brentford FC & their "preffered share" partner, London Welsh, it was all over for the Broncos as soon as the Welsh put in their claim for the ground share. Not that MacKay or Hughes did much to convince the Bees Chairman, Cliff Brown, that we were the ideal partner.

I believe contracts were exchanged with the contractor's, Wilmot Dixon in December, London Welsh may return to their old ground until Lionel Road is finished as indeed Brentford will remain at Griffin Park.

Ealing here we come, onwards and downwards.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_1444.jpg



Will help if we can actually compete in games. We won't get people to pay to see a one way deluge.

For all the folk on here clamouring about all the lower league RU in London, the fact that professional RU took flight from the capital is instructive. Only Quins have stayed in London at the top level throughout the professional era. All the others have either left for good, had long periods away, or got bought out / went bust.
