| Quote: Smithers99 "I was wondering that also, but both Aussie Hookers are also in the 21. Having said that I'm not convinced by my limited exposure to these Bronco's 21's that every player on it is fit or available. For some players it appears a stepping stone to future selection rather than current availability.
I'm probably reading way too much into the format of the published 21, but Bourouh has been slotted into Jude Ferreira's place, almost as if it's one loan replacing another, albeit different positions. Admittedly Bienek is back which is a positive (but is he ready for selection?) but not listed in the correct place.
On a positive note one article prefixes his two week loan with "initial", so maybe there are options for a longer stay if he and his club like what they see.
With Ramsey and Juma missing, that strongly suggests Walker will be in the 17 this week, otherwise potentially no backs on the bench and a forward (Palumbo) still at centre. Although you've got to assume one of those three Hookers (Gahan I'd assume) will be playing as a Half Back.
I'm still keen to see Albert in action. Hopefully this week. With the exception of Ferreira (and possibly Horsman) this is possibly the Broncos full strength team from the current squad.
Looking forward to it. First we watch Chelsea/Man City in the Women's League Cup Final tomorrow, and back again less than 24 hours later for the Broncos. Biggest difference will be the crowd size within the Final sold out (although what that really means I wait to see).'"
We’ve taken to adding players to the 21 who are nowhere near ready to play. I noticed that Ferreira had dropped out of the last 2 squads and played in the reserves so not sure what’s going on there. I’m not so sure whether Walker will play IIRC he’s a full back and Leland has played in that position so we may end up doing that if he’s not ready. I agree it looks a strong squad but who plays where is a mystery. Is Parata, Borough or Gahan playing hooker- who knows.

| Tough proverbials today lads (and maybe lasses). Reading Smithers' post, almost felt that Bongser had been there (make the attendance 904).
Loved his head scratching over centres. Yup, this party has never been sure either even on the occasions when he was required to play as one.

| Quote: orangeman "I counted 600 at about 9pm here, so 8am your time.I'll take it that all the 903 declared were in the ground watching the game, but I suspect those responsible for announcing the crowd numbers have an awful lot invested in this move delivering.
Not sure about the restriction of movement in the Cherry Red, but when I attended games, it was pretty easy to "view' the corporate area and see how busy it is. At Brentford, Stripes bar had a limit of 500 and in those days, Gold Members only was the rule, but if it wasn't too busy, everyone was let in. The Kings bar was a free for all to start with at the stoop, then it became a closed shop and numbers decreased but I never had an issue getting in on a general admission ticket, then we shifted across the pitch and again, it was a closed shop until number again dropped off. Only ever attended the last SL game at The Hive so can't comment there, same at Trailfinders except I did "mistakenly wander in" at the Wakefield game in 2018 to see fewer than 50 people just before KO, including the visiting team tables (2x10) and Hughes Table (another 10).
The club have claimed "only a few places left" a number of times in regards to the corporate area, but have yet to publish any photographs of said area with any of the "key guests" mingling......this to me speaks volumes, but I am happy to be proven wrong.
From the club site advertising corporate hospo. rlThe next Home Game is Widnes on the 30th of January and you can purchase your Hospitality Tickets hererl
The links for Corporate are indeed rubbish.
Getting into the Corporate area at Plough Lane is very difficult, it's a different entrance and on a different floor. There is no mixing at all. All things are possible, but can only be done blatantly and with the security up there my guess is you'd be escorted from the ground. Viewing the corporate level when in their seats is possible but not easy with just the Main Stand open as their seating is above the rest of us and across the length of the pitch.
What are your thoughts on the corporate numbers Broncos should be getting? Perhaps on one side what was the impression sold to fans of numbers? What would they have been expecting for a York match based on that? Then knowing the level of crowds this season, what would be an acceptable number for today's match?
As Victor states, the pub would be too small, but the immediate outside covered section would work great in the summer.
Regarding the sold seats I counted 690, 2 hours or so pre-game. There were definitely corporate tickets on top of that. What I can't guarantee is if anybody bought last minute or on the gate. Personally I buy late, why buy early when there is no risk of missing out when you might change your mind.
A 15% increase in sales on Sunday morning isn't bad. That we can be reasonably sure about from a combination of your figures and mine. Reasonably I'd assume those sales continued to rise up until kick-off.

Kind of hides my utter confusion at times though. One thing I've learnt over the years with different team sports is to become familiar with the players. Once I do that and have a rough idea of what the player positions are meant to do, it seems to make it so much easier to follow. At the Bradford match I spent ages just watching where each player stood whilst attacking or defending; that really helped.

| York twitter feed has interviews with both the coach and a player about the performance straight after the game as well as a video of them celebrating i the changing room.
we have a picture of the final scoreboard.
During the game, loads of content and updates.....
I get the impression there are Zero F^$ks given by anyone at the club anymore and that is squarely at the feet of the CEO now.....it's unacceptable in this modern era!

| Quote: BigTime "Some additional thought. Although I was a bit surprised with the attendance figure there was a decent atmosphere today.
I bought some merchandise having found the shop. I’m surprised that some of the items on sale don’t seem to be on sale online. That seems an open goal to me.
I thought Borough had a decent cameo as did Williams. BTW Ogden for York was far more involved (in first half anyway) than I had seen before, seemed to have bulked up and was a threat.
Curran- he came with a rep of being one of the very best in the league. I’m not experienced enough to judge and suspect he does quite a bit of hidden stuff but although he seemed more involved today I just don’t know if he’s as influential as was hoped. Do others have views?'"
The atmosphere inside the ground was good! quite a few new faces!
