| It does if you say London Rugby League, less so if you say London RLFC.

| Now that AFC have been promoted to League 1, be interesting to see if that has further implications for our access to the ground in the summer. But, well done to them.

| I dont like the name Broncos much but I think it is our name now so I wouldn’t change it. If we change to London RLFC I could understand but it’s a bit bland and would need a good logo. If something else unless it’s specifically related to an Aussie parent club, and Dolphins as a name holds zero attraction, then it would need some out of the box thinking because I just can’t see replacing Broncos with Lions or whatever makes any sense. For every person who thinks the animal we’ve chosen sounds better than Broncos then someone will disagree.

| I've had on my fridge since the mid 90s a Broncos magnet. It's a shield with red & white quarters, across the top in black on gold is the word LONDON & at the bottom on a gold ribbon is RLFC. There is also the original gold Broncos head on the shield. That would do for me, I've been trying for ages to include a picture of it but either this site isn't working or I'm too stupid to achieve that. Ho hum.

| why not London Rugby Lessons?
Carlsberg don't do irony.....but if they did....
For those that believe the handful of remaining fans need consulting, you are dreaming. The "core" or as I refer to them, Monkeys Monkey's are the problem.......not one (OK...maybe a couple, eh speechless) stepped up when the club asked for volunteers. If it happens, it needs to involve a hard launch...stickers on Taxis and oyster card wallets wont do it....but a Guy Ritchie type fly on the wall docu-series might......MIGHT get a bit of traction.

| However well intentioned the previous administration was, they failed at marketing the club. It was too small time. For London Rugby League to be a success, the marketing needs to go big.

Agreed but it’s really expensive and you have to keep doing. One ad in the Metro won’t work. In fairness to DH et Al they gave it a spin for the start of the Coleman era, but to my untrained eye, got it all wrong and then, of course, those that turned up were treated to a very, very poor side so opportunity missed. Lots of those avenues to promote things, like local newspapers or indeed the Metro either don’t exist or have much less significance. I think they have to find a way to engage locally, wherever it’s decided local is. Tooting/Merton/Wimbledon. To me they all seem to be different have different make ups and thus different challenges. One bright note is AFC do seem to have tapped into the local area. I see no evidence of it as I walk to ground from Tooting but they do seem to get decent numbers for a L1 side. May of course be that football is much more dominant now but my recollection was they were minnows back in the day so they’ve done something right. Maybe we could learn.

AFC do so much good charity work with their food bank etc, it does give them a higher profile. While not being an expert on all things AFC, I'd be surprised if many of their fans come from Tooting or Wimbledon. Maybe outer parts of Merton & Sutton. But of course as a club they were galvanised by the MK situation & with their ownership model has seen their support grow. I'm not convinced their ownership model will take them higher than League 1 as they would need to generate funds to extend the ground as they appear to be almost at capacity now. They have already had some issues with Bond repayment & we are to believe borrowed some dosh from Hughes.
None of that though takes anything away from how magnificent their phoenix from the ashes route to where they now are has been. I'm sure our friendly AFC man who used to post (can't remember his name) could put me right on some of that.
I would say leaflet drops & social media might be where we start. However, the big issue for us will always be that for the weeks in the summer we need to be at PL, we are in Ebbsfleet or other pointless areas. You can't square that circle I don't think.
