Another hire Hughes refused to fire......he really NEVER learns

Now I'm under pressure! I think anybody who can deliver nice mash and a tasty gravy (and plenty of it) has made a good start. Haven't encountered any poor quality meat in the pies either. Whether it is too everybody's liking I can't say, but I'd be surprised if many (any) said it was awful.

What is telling is I would recommend the pies, but currently (despite enjoying each match so far) I wouldn't be bringing anybody along yet. Partly lack of confidence that the Broncos will be competitive, but more about improving the match day experience. The danger is getting bored, but that is hugely mitigated by a good general experience.

The on and off field experience is absolutely key to retaining new supporters. I eventually decided to take my son along to our first game a few years back on the basis, at the very least it would be good to see elite athletes even if they were on the opposing side. My gut feeling was that Broncos would lose and their team would be slightly soulless in the style of the modern iteration of Watford FC filled with journeymen Aussies but I thought RL was potentially an exciting game and that it was worth a punt. The fact they won and played well encouraged me to sign my son up to the Foals club ( who sent him free stuff and a birthday card) and we’ve been ST ever since. If our first match had been that Haven game we wouldn’t have come again. If the Widnes or Bradford game maybe/probably not- that is where the fuller match day experience comes in. Despite a big new stadium (3/4 of which is closed) the off field stuff is really, really light touch. I urge Broncos management to get this stuff out of first gear before the opportunities of this relaunch are lost.

That ship has long since sailed!

Yep. 2 adverts in the free press announce a KO time and expect them to flock in.
Follow it up by begging local amateur clubs to come for free and then follow that up by discounting across the board......no so much strategic as idiotic
