195,688 fans over 21 SL games have seen an average of 9,318 witness London at Odsal.
Just 3 wins and 17 losses and a draw for the SL boys from the capital
Biggest win 22-12 back in 2003
Biggest loss 74-12 back in 1999

London managed the Double over Bradford in 2013 and with their current instability lingering on and the prospect of being docked points for going into RFL assisted administration, I expect the Bulls to come out looking to pick up 2 of those penalty points back to help them in their race with Wakefield to avoid 13th spot.
Having never scored more than 24 points in a SL game at Odsal, London Broncos, with the weakest defence in the league to date will need to be in fine form to get 2 vital points in their quest to avoid relegation!

I predict a narrow, but gutsy loss 28-16 in front of 7,300 fans.

You make these predictions based on what? You have never seen at least 3 quarters of our team play a game of the sport? icon_lol.gif

My "predictions" are based on the commentary and stats from our opening 2 games, the highlights reels from the seasons openers away and at home and from a personal assessment of how the Bulls squad are looking at present. The Loss to Castleford isn't looking too terrible and they won the first of their important games in the "mini-relegation-league" featuring London, Wakey, Bradford and Widnes.

You do not have to "be there" to be a fan and neither do you have to have a permanent optimistic grin stuck to your face to support this team. Because I have 0% faith in the new set up, especially when the villains from the past are still involved, you think that I have no idea of what is going on "on the park"? How very strange?

I suspect that London may well score first, giving a jittery Bulls a scare and making the small crowd get on the backs of the players......it's just that I think the Bulls will have a tad too much experience for our young squad and will pull away to win by 2 scores.

Rather than attempt (and fail) to ridicule my opinion, why not proffer your own. You do after all have "the advantage" on me!

But seriously, what do you do? Marketing? Did you work for the broncos at some point? As a latecomer to the party, I'd like to know. You seem to have the lowdown on what is happening. And when not gus bashing make some good points, (ill wait for the cowboy to make a comment along the lines of, gas needs bashing)

Your 'predictions' are about on par with telling me what my best memories should and shouldn't be, as you were attempting to do on the VT. You have absolutely nothing to base these opinions on since you made this prediction before even seeing the team play. To add to this, you were thousands of miles away from The Hive on Saturday - take note of all those who had such a positive experience rather than making up nonsense about posters on this forum being happy with the low attendance and denouncing the whole thing yourself. Utterly pathetic.

I think we will lose by 30+ points against Bradford. The team/squad isn't ready and I do not believe we will be fully competitive in any fixture for a month at least.

I do not expect miracles - I am quite content with what is being attempted at present. I cannot do anything about it but I am delighted to be supporting a newly established side who have pride in the shirt. Having not been to a game last year, you really cannot comprehend the difference felt on Saturday, as has been noted by many posters on here. You can still support the club of course, but telling people how they should be feeling after their experience on Saturday when you weren't there yourself is embarrassing.

You were the one that said the 18-44 hammering at The Hive was the best day in memory....note, you didn't say recent memory, but just memory! I remember many days at the Stoop where you seemed pretty damned happy!

Quote: Dave Lister "You have absolutely nothing to base these opinions on since you made this prediction before even seeing the team play. '"

I have addressed this in my earlier reply.....

Quote: Dave Lister "To add to this, you were thousands of miles away from The Hive on Saturday - take note of all those who had such a positive experience rather than making up nonsense about posters on this forum being happy with the low attendance and denouncing the whole thing yourself. Utterly pathetic.'"

In the context of your claim that I have nothing to base my predictions on, this is an irrelevant piece of window dressing that has no part in this conversation. For the record, the only thing that is utterly pathetic is the 1,246 attendance and those trying to justify it with tales of smiling bar staff.

Quote: Dave Lister "I think we will lose by 30+ points against Bradford. The team/squad isn't ready and I do not believe we will be fully competitive in any fixture for a month at least. '"

Good for you. That's the answer I was looking for. BTW, the season as a competitive entity and avoiding relegation is done and dusted by April 1st if we are sitting on nil points.

This sums it up perfectly...well done you eusa_clap.gif

Those who attended the Salford game were both relieved and happy because it was better than last year, both in the venue and the attitude of the players who never gave up......CONVIENEINTLY FORGETTING THE EVENTS THAT LED TO LAST YEAR BEING SO FUCKING TERRIBLE AND THAT FACT THAT THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEM ARE STILL IN ATTENDANCE.

BTW, I didn't tell anyone how they should feel I simply commented that in my opinion, being content with a 1,246 attendance shows how far the villains of the piece have dragged down our expectations.
