Sam Moa is not certain to be re-signed by the Sydney Roosters.

If the Broncos want to keep Jamie Soward, then at least one, if not two props like Moa, might convince Jamie to stay another year.

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

I Remember the 15.000 at craven cottage. All those 36 years ago ... What happened to them!!!'"


That first match against Wigan will never forget, my first job in radio as a teenager go to watch the game and report stucj with the club since through thick and thin, but that first venture should have been made to work by the sport.

Wire Quin at work:



I would say the biggest failure point was appointing Powell as Head coach the year we spent to SC level. That killed the club and the hardcore fan base. Barnet and Trailfinders are just consequences of such a poor decision.

Gus failed with Marketing. Seemed to focus on shaping match day without thinking we need fans to rock up.

Gus Mackay is one there are a number of others
DH appeared to use the club as a rich mans tax loss and he would would not listen to reason to people with more sports club owning knowledge than he had
Dreadful team performances - no effort, no passion, no commitment for approx three years
No decent coach - Powell was way out of his depth and should never have been there
Alienating fans
Cancelling the SAG system of help
Cancelling the supporters assistance
This does not even mention everything the back room staff did incorrectly which again allienated supporters, it was a mammoth task just trying to buy tickets.

Some disappeared when people bought the cheapest tickets possible at the stoop and then came and sat in the club seats with the club refusing to acknowledge this was a problem to the fans who bought gold tickets. It alienated fans because they put so much into paying for their tickets and others got there for nothing.

A lot of the fans disappeared when the club decided to open one stand only and there was no area for families who had to listen to bad language and also home fans who wanted to sit together couldn't. I know of a number of families who didn't come back the following season.

The drinking fans bar bill was too expensive and some drifted away whilst others brought their own drink rather than put money in Broncos pocket then complained because DH didn't put more money in. As with his pockets I should think they are not endless just the same as fans pockets are not endless.

The RFL and DH Not allowing Ian Lennigan to carry on was probably the biggest blow he understood sports management.

The RFL not allowing a dispensation for London on the salary cap did not help as we could not get the quality of player as they did in the north - players wages in the south could go no where near to offering the life they would have in the North.

Expecting season ticket fans at the stoop to pay £40 for hospitality which was the walk up price and refusing a deduction for season ticket holders. A lot walked away from the club and didn't come back.

This scratches the surface of where the fans are

I agree Jaybs. It should have moved on big time by now !!

But what a great day at the cottage that was and 36 years later .. Missing about 8 home games.
Still at it .... icon_smile.gif
