| Tony Rea referred to tough decisions in next 2 weeks.
Whatever are they?
Club to close?
Voluntarily drop a division?
Decisions on players outside the 8 announced?
Last ever game at Stoop?
If 14 experienced players are going, where does that leave next season which will be ultra competitive with 2 teams relegated?
If someone like a tommy Lee is going who has been our best signing, and was great again yesterday, what does that say?
After 20 years supporting the club, I wanted more than what the club offered to me in information yesterday.
Where was David Hughes?
Where was Mackay?
Where is the leadership?

They weren't prepared to face the inevitable questions from the impromptu fans forum. Complete lack of spine. The club continue to be evasive, cryptic even arrogant.

...and censorship of Facebook posts! Except funnily those relating to getting Powell sacked.
When the fans campaigned vigorously for Powell to get sacked nothing ever got deleted that I know of. Yet critise the Warder and the mgmt. and bang the post is deleted.
May be they are going to announce something so amazing and brilliant that sets up the club until the end of the world that we should not be worried....

| They were talking about tough decisions in the next two weeks two weeks ago, so don't hold your breath!

| Us folding (as i expect) will have an impact on the rest of SL as has been mentioned allready, so they wont make an announcement until whatever they are negotiating with the RFL has been completed - for better for worse.

1649_1338292262.jpg I have followed the LONDON CLUB since I was in my teensl even though born in St Helens and still live nearby and went to the first game at Fulham, also Big West Ham Supporter:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_1649.jpg |

| It was rumoured that negotiations were still ongoing with the RFL, so I did not expect any announcement yesterday. If we do close as a club, I see other clubs going in the coming years, the game is not sustainable, and though I take some stick, this is down to the bad management of the game. People may have knocked such as Bill Fallowfield and David Oxley, but they ran the game a lot better than the current senior staff at Red Hall. The game may have failed some years back, if Maurice Lyndsay had not had the guts he did to turn the game around, with changes, now it is going backwards or even sinking!

| I would imagine that the final decisions and announcements whatever they may be will come at the end of the regular playing season and through the media portal of 'Boots'n'All' or the like.
No doubt Hemmings will be creaming himself and Mackay enjoy TV exposure as he likes the sound of his own voice.
I personally have given up on the Broncos this season, didn't turn up yesterday as I couldn't be bothered, its sad as I used to enjoy the sport but its all very one dimensional, same old teams fighting for silverware etc.
I think the biggest disappointment is that on paper, we had a squad that should have competed at the very least but have done exactly the opposite.
You can make all the excuses in the world for them but the blame lies with the individuals involved with their attitude and general performance and personal fitness. the top teams get knock backs but come back, i don't think it can all be blamed on mismanagement.
randalls retirement statement is a joke, he never looked like coming back, was well past his sell by date and should have been released earlier in the season to bring someone else in.

| Have to admit it was Upton Park for me yesterday! yes some of the players have let us down, but a coach has to accept some responsibility if he can't correct the basic errors, which the team had both week in, and week out! defence, stupid penalties etc, but no, he kept taking his wage, and making stupid comments at the after match press conferences.

Your absence yesterday still doesn't stop you having yet another of your repetitive pops at TR.
To his credit, though there's no doubt little he can say about the present situation, he, unlike the rest of what passes for management at the Broncos, does at least recognise that the existence of we ever-dwindling band needs to be recognised.

So am I to understand that you have never missed a match this season? I stand by my comments, not just from one game, if you feel he is doing a great job, well that is your opinion!

Did you enjoy the Wigan dominated era? or have you forgotten that 10 years

Huddersfield topping the league doesn't really count as the same old teams either
Also by that logic all major european football leagues are quite dull and one dimensional too, which is why no-one watches them either and they're struggling so much financially
