not sure which way round those are! Full fixtures out on Monday morning. Bring on 2013!

Widnes...first home game represents a great chance to start the year with a win.....please God the back office team realise this and do everything in their power from Monday to get a 5k+ crowd to this game.....

A close game against Widnes witnessed by 2k and an annual hiding off Huddersfield.

I think you're being far too optimistic...

First game is against Widnes at home on Sunday 3 Feb so no pressure for that one Full fixture list here... www.londonbroncosrl.com/rugby/fi ... esults.php

Any early news on the venue for the game v Wigan on 18 May? Its down as TBA.

Am I right in thinking no home games in July, last home game in the middle of August?

Taking the Wigan and Wire "on the stoopid effing road" so the prison warder can glory in how big the crowds are and justify a move next season.

So the club signs a sponsorship deal, with the press release hailing the match day experience at the Stoop. We then decide to take two of our biggest games away from the Stoop?
We can already see the press release about the unbounded success of at least the Wigan fixture, "the biggest crowd of the season", even though it would have been that anyway!
Still, they've left no stone unturned in attracting the community in to the Stoop; trumping the excellent work they'd done at Griffin Park! And they simply don't want to come.
Now that the young player feed is starting to come through from West London, let's move a couple of hours journey East to consolidate!

The fixture list has done us no favours again!!!

March - Bank Holiday weekend - Thursday 8pm v Catalan = lowest gate of season nailed on.
May - No home games as we are taking the Wigan game on the 18th `on the F`in road`. All equals zero help for crowds at the Stoop.
June - Home games at very start and end of month. Why o why are we also taking the Wire game `on the road` on the 8th June.
July - No home games. Coupled with June arrangement, equals zero help for crowds at the Stoop.
August - Leeds at home on Monday 5th, followed by Saints away on Friday 9th!!......that should just about decimate our squad. Season effectively ends on the 17th August!!!!!!
September - No home games - season over

All in all just about as bad a fixture list as I can recall.

I see that the 'bigger' clubs have been picked for the on the road games, probably to gauge how well they're supported by away sides and to see if, by playing a big side, it can make a few more neutrals and Broncos fans turn up.

However, picking the Wigan game means no home game in May. Surely one on the road game in April (a month after 3/5 are home games) and another in June (which has been picked) was the way to go?

First Sky games confirmed too. Rounds 1-14......Hull KR @ home our only televised game. www.loverugbyleague.com/news_105 ... dates.html

So it's Wigan in Gillingham then.

& some other far flung outpost for Wire too no doubt.

Talk about a not so hidden agenda.

Hadn't thought of that. Clever by Gus in all fairness. I mean, I totally oppose the OTR idea, but it's smart.

Echo some of the previous sentiments re: timing and fixture gaps. Also, very unhelpful to be playing Leeds at home on a Monday night.

Widnes at home first up means there's absolutely no excuse to start the season poorly.

Wigan in Oxford I hear.
