By calling people "apologists"?

A straw poll would rely on you starting with a question rather than name calling.

You still haven't addressed your level of commitment at your new club.

And this is primarily because of DH's mismanagement. You might think there no club without DH but history would suggest there isn't much of one with him.

Sometimes it is worth remembering how rapid the descent of the club has been under the present stewardship . In this week's League Express there is a piece on retiring players including Chris Bailey. He joined the club less than five years ago when it was still Quins RL. In his first game at Millennium Magic we beat Catalans 11-4. I was at that game and I don't think at that time in my wildest nightmares I could have imagined the club being in the position it is in now

Indeed, and while that wasn't a great season finishing 12th in SL we had an average gate of 3,131. Here we are now having lost 80% of even that poor crowd and averaging just 634.

Buzza I assume u are one of those 634

FWIW, I didn't get season ticket at The Hive (first time since SL2) but have again next year.

It's entirely because of DH's mismanagement. I doubt you'll find anyone on here who disagrees with what you've said. We all know that DH's cash prevented the club folding with a bang, but his stewardship appears to be leading to the club folding with a whimper.

But the hard truth is, none of us are in a position to replace him individually, and for all the talk of fan owned clubs I doubt that we're in a position now to replace him collectively.

What Dave Listers Maidstone Utd have shown is that clubs can come back. The club went to hell and back. Now with good leadership they are doing very well.

True, but they managed to keep a sizeable core support throughout their dark days whereas London Broncos ....... well they'll have to try and add to the few hundred still left won't they?
