I know we daren't think about this but would getting to Wembley fundamentally change the clubs trajectory?

Unless we can hook a new investor on the back of it, I think not. The club are certainly not able at the present time to take advantage of such an opportunity. We did not benefit in 1999 and we are in a worse position now.

Any views?

Shame Catalans got knocked out. We could have had a block of seats each!

Sadly, I fear not. It's not just the Broncos who are near-invisible, it's the whole sport of RL which should be enjoying a huge publicity boost with the World Cup only a few months away. I see little sign of it.

As a "lapsed" Broncos fan it gives me no pleasure to see the Club this low.

The problem really is twofold: Rugby League as a sport is far too parochial at all levels so there never has been proper support to push London forward. I won't mention mismanagement by London as that's so effing obvious.

And how narrow the International game is - World Cup can only be won by the Chain Rattlers or Kiwis. Everyone knows that, so why bother with the comp when a World Club Challenge round robin with top 6 Superleague and NRL against each other would be a much bigger draw

us a Wembley would do nothing for the game or the club, it would be a record score, warrington have already put 80 points past us this season why do you think Wembley would be any difference, and the neutral watching na game like that would just laugh
As for the international game!! honest answer, I don't think the majority of RL fans in the UK really care about a successful international team

I only asked the question. It may inspire a new owner to come forward.

Maybe a billionaire watching might take pity on us after we've been handed the biggest ever spanking in a CC final!
Assuming of course we turn Wigan over on Saturday!

Most of us seem to agree that while a Wembley trip might be fun, being a competently run and properly funded club is rather more important.

Not only many RL Fan, the rest of the country have little interest in an England RL Team, attendances this weekend will be interesting as very little seem to have an interest in The Challenge Cup, while Nigel plays his fiddle in Red Hall and keeps telling us it is the best season ever! does he realise what a complete joke he is, no wonder he never replied to my letter. icon_biggrin.gif

I am curious as to why the Challenge Cup has lost its attraction. Is it just down to the scheduling of ties and the mid season final, or is there something else involved?

It would only change things for the 150 hard-core fans the club has left. It won't for anyone else. That's effing sad.

Those hardy souls will be at Leigh, and if there is a triumph it will be for them!
