To any sensible observer the shenanigans of David Hughes seem baffling in the extreme.

But recent posts from his apologists have made me realise that the rump Broncos fanbase are less supporters & more cult members.

& that never ends well.

What an odd post. Everyone would agree that the club has been badly run a that some very poor decisions around CEO and coaches have been made. But cult? I think we are fans? Nothing more or less.

What does your constant negativity make you? Gutter fax?

Paranoia is a well known trait of cult members I think you'll find.

I'd consider the Mormons to a cult, and they're going pretty well, so I'm not your assessment is fair or accurate. And have a top rated musical comedy about them - not necessarily a flattering view. Maybe there's hope yet.

Really?

All the evidence points to David Hughes being a buffoon of the highest order & yet people on here get all bent out of shape if you dare to criticise him & his follies.

There's that joke about British Airways being a pension fund with an airline attached.

Well Broncos are now a tiny band of zealots that play park rugby.

Substitute "drone" for "yawn" & it looks like I've got a stalker of my own.

I'm honoured. icon_lol.gif

I wouldnt dispue any of the sentiment in the early part of the quote. I think everyone on here is critical of how the club has been run. I can understand why so many fans have left, the move to the Hive was an appalling one.

My only issue with you and Gutterfax/Molly/Jim etc etc etc (are you the same person?) is you are a stuck record? If you have given up on the Club then fine, i would understand that, but if you remain a "supporter" what is the poit on quoting the same statistcs %of fans lost and/or stating the obvious, David Hughes is a vet successful businessman who has run the Club appallingly.

Sorry i just dont get it

I have no intention of going to watch skolars or Hemel or......... I live in, (a deluded hope I know before Gutterfax/Molly/Jim etc etc etc points it out.....), hope that the Club may get a grip and move forward..........

IMO The Hive was a perfect fit for the Broncos decimated fanbase.

But the madman Hughes now wants to play on a park pitch.

I would suggest that you seek medical help, you obviously have a David Hughes fixation, which is eating you up.
Your doctor is there to help you. Seek their help

"People use statistics the way a drunk uses a lamp post - for support not illumination":



Was the move to the Hive so appalling?

What was appalling was the demolition of the club by the owner in the Autumn before the move. i'm yet to hear a reasonable explanation as to why Hughes did so much damage to the club before having a change of heart.

You arrived at the Hive with no staff and no players, you delivered nothing on the pitch and you are now too small to make use of the Hive sustainable. If the crowds and performances been maintained then the Hive would've seen more benefit in you staying and your bargaining position would be that much stronger. Kleanthous is a hard nosed business man who will always look for the best deal for his business, his calculation is he can make more money from hiring out the Banquetting suite and building an indoor sports hall instead of accommodating a Rugby club getting 200-300 attendances. Whose fault is that?

Apologies, you are quite right - i was refering to the whole move including the mess Broncos made of the move, the running down to team etc etc. It could have worked, but we never got our act in gear.........

Yet you berate Gutterfax who told everyone and anyone that it was that and he was shouted down. Even Hughes has admitted the 2nd year there was a strain...as Gutterfax said that was because AK wanted us gone because he wasn't getting another back hander.

claim it is tiresome to repeat and remind, but in reality you are simply shooting the messanger because you don't like the message.
