Quote: " 2021 Memberships
Dear Broncos Supporter.
Before I start to discuss the 2021 Season can I please take this opportunity to thank you for your patience, understanding and support in what has been a very difficult year for the London Broncos as a club.
We fully appreciate that many of you have also faced problems of your own in the last 11 months, problems that may have dictated the way you are able to support the club in the immediate future and we want you to know that we understand that. Many of you have, as always, gone above and beyond with your backing of the club through various sponsorships, fund raisers and more recently the purchase of merchandise and of course we thank you very much for that support too.
The 2021 season is going to be like no other we have faced in our clubs 40 year history. To know that some games will not have crowds there to cheer us on is extremely frustrating because we know what our great Club means to you all, and how much you are missing watching the lads every other Sunday and catching up with your friends. But we must deal with what we have, and like the players themselves we have to adapt to the circumstances thrown at us and make the best of what we can.
I know that we have received criticism from a few for being slow to release details of our options but a slow and steady approach taking in RFL and Government guidelines has allowed us to provide our supporters with what we believe to be very fair options for this difficult season. We are patiently waiting for Wimbledon’s Supporters trust to conduct their vote but knowing that we are unlikely to be able to host our supporters until the Summer we have had no desire to try and rush our plans. The Performance team and Club management have prepared a number of options to play games at, with or without crowds, and the Club can move and adapt to the changes in Government guidelines fairly easily.
As I go into details about the options for our supporters this year I would like to start by mentioning an observation on previous years ticketing options and pricing that I made when coming into the role 12 months ago. With the seating situation at Ealing, and the tiered ticketing system that was in place, our Bronze ticket holders (around 25% of you) were paying (on renewal) less than £10 per game for Elite Professional Sporting action in London. I was actually very taken aback by this and set out on finding a way to bring this in line with the rest of the clubs in our division and similar level sporting clubs around London but increasing the value of the ticket accordingly for our fans. I think at Ealing it is fair to say that whilst there were some seating options getting the view you wanted was not guaranteed therefore a lower price was potentially a fair compromise. Being able to raise the price in line with our rival clubs in a fair way was then added to the list of reasons to secure an Elite Sporting venue and the Wimbledon discussion was born.
The pricing below will actually be fairly similar to last year for the majority of supporters, and for some a little cheaper, but we have had to try and structure the Memberships to ensure they are easy to understand, value for money and most of all profitable for the club. I firmly believe in equal pricing for all and hopefully you will see the reasoning for the changes.
The club really does need our usual Season ticket income and it has been difficult to know how to structure this to ensure everyone can find something to suit their own situation.
I’m trying to keep this as simple as possible and I hope that you all have no problem understanding the options but if you have a query then please contact
So what do we think?

Sureyben who used to post here. The other remains an occasional visitor. Whilst mainly an RU man he used to volunteer with Broncos / Quins academy and had a cracking story about LMS as a junior.'"
Come on, you’re not going leave it hanging there are you?

| Quote: RfE "Did we actually draw in many union fans at the Stoop?
Genuine question.
I used to see the odd few wearing Ealing RU colours/ logos at Trailfinders , but I suppose they would have been more easily seen. At the Stoop RU and most RL fans would all have been wearing the same colours.'"
If my memory is correct the first game of the season back at the Stoop we played St Helens after a union game so alot of the union fans stayed on. It was the home games after that where RL fans were having a go at the union fans. We had 2 union fans sat next to us who brought RL season tickets but stopped coming after 3 or 4 games because they got fed up with the insults. rl]rl]

| WQ but why be insulting and downright rude about other supporters of the club? Is it a comment you would make face to face to those people? Or is it only something you would say hiding behind social media?
If you knew WQ you would never call him a keyboard warrior or a backstabber. There are enough of them at the club without including him, He tells it as it is either on here or to your face and sadly most people cant be doing with the truth

| So any news on where we will be playing? It seems they have a back up for the CC games but haven't announced them.
It reminds me of the illegal Raves in the 80s where you drove around the M25 until you got the Post code messaged by text last minute off the farm location. I just hope Monkey has Keighleys bus drivers mobile number.
