FORUMS > London Broncos > Genuine question re attendances |

| Quote: rupe1 "I did find it strange that as someone who held a season ticket for many years, travelled to Australia to watch London Broncos in the World Club Challenge back in 1997, I became a figure of hate for some people just because I was so disgusted at London Broncos being renamed Harlequins Rugby League.
For anyone who knows about the history of Rugby League, to get into bed with a Union side was to me treachery. 'The forbidden game' by Mike Rylance is a wonderful book for those who would like to know more about how Union behaved towards League.
I couldn't stomach it and I stand by my views on it. Furthermore, there was an element of the support who relished the decline of the clubs status, so that they were able to be acknowledged by the players as if they were all best mates.
I remember how well this manifested itself when we had Jon Wells the winger who didn't score. People refused to admit he wasn't Super League standard just because he was a good bloke. This attitude and refusal to ever be critical was the reason London got relegated.
My interest in why attendances were no longer published was borne out of no ill will. I hope London Broncos get promoted.'"
So. A post full of nothing but me me me me..... I didn't like it..... I was right...... Me me me me.
You can stand by your opinion if you like, but it is wrong and was shown to be so at the time. As for Jon Wells...... He was a player and he was picked...... You weren't and never will be the coach, so carry on with your decade bitterness...... He's doing OK for himself and is welcome at the club anytime.... You on the other hand...... ![Shoot Poster a026.gif](images/smilies//a026.gif)

Look on the RFL, BBC website results page it is noticeable that the figures are usually missing.
Announcing it over the tannoy at a game is different'"
No, he wrote "As for the vanishing act of attendances being announced/published."
