Maybe being the first team to beat Leigh in a long time, maybe the single win in the season against Leeds all be it a weak Leeds, maybe any other of the wins last season, maybe watching some of the kids getting a run out. What is enjoyable to you is not necessarily enjoyable to others.
Maybe being one of the fans that don't give up when the going gets tough.
Maybe wearing the shirt of the club you support at places like the GF or magic and the banter it brings.
Honest answer, I watched some bloody good rugby last year, yep some rubbish, so no I was not short changed.

So on average one good(ish) game a season then.

& that doesn't constitute thin gruel?

You really don't get what being a supporter is about do you? Pretty convenient you chose to ignore everything else in the post though.
Question for you, who on here has actually said everything is roses in the broncos camp? We all know the situation is not good, do you actually think we all want them to be at Ealing?
I will say it again, the reality is non of us are in a position to change anything apart from watch them play or don't watch em play, second option for some of us us no go as it means we don't get to watch our team play rl.
You have made your choice which is to walk away, fine that's your choice hope you enjoy.

I have followed the LONDON CLUB since I was in my teensl even though born in St Helens and still live nearby and went to the first game at Fulham, also Big West Ham Supporter:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_1649.jpg



Quote: Perry "This isn't unique to RL, it's the same in any professional sport.
How many football clubs operate at a profit? Or RU clubs? Or cricket counties?

In every sport a very few have a genuine operating profit, all the others rely on top up funding from central sources, wealthy owners, or both.'"


I don't disagree with you, but RL is a very minority sport at professional level, I really thought after the good start at Fulham we would have another second and third club that would even assist in developing the sport in the Capital, but even though I have no doubts every effort has been put in, it just has not worked, if clubs struggle in the North what chance does London really have with such a wide number of sports clubs and as you say even some top football clubs struggling, if Ever Sky pulled and demanded major cuts in funding I would fear for sport, when Sky first committed the rugby league the most of the extra finance then went to players, not on grounds and development.

But I will Never turn my back on the sport I was born and brought up with, but it does not stop me being worried about it's real future.

I've come to the conclusion that any sport that isn't football is up against it in London.

Take a look at rugby union. They were established in the capital for over a hundred years, and seven clubs went professional in 1995. What happened to those seven?
London Scottish & Richmond: went bust
London Welsh, London Irish, Wasps: play miles from the capital
Saracens: spent 15 years playing outside the capital
Harlequins: the only one of the seven to stay in London and build a fan base
And that after 100 years of establishing themselves.

Don't misunderstand me, I'm not excusing the mis-management at the Broncos in recent times, but you do have to wonder if we were always peeing in the wind a bit.
