Never had any problems at any other ground with it including Gillingham, Leyton, KC, DW & several other 'dual' use venues.'"

Give me the current bunch of tryers over Aussie OAP's any day of the week.

They truly were an embarrassment to the top flight.

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



Quote: Erogenous Jones "Broncos do not issue the pass. The RFL does. Wonder if they ignore FA issued passes ? Worrying lack of knowledge when they don't know the name of the sports' governing body ! Barnet staff have ensured a few interesting calls to the RFL today, not only from me.'"



I don't actually see how that changes anything tbh. They are Hive staff and not on Barnet or Broncos payroll so I can well imagine they would refuse an FA pass just as quickly.

From their point of view it makes no odds if you charge Broncos for your work. It is of no benefit to them. I know I'm being harsh and playing devils advocate but the blunt truth is the Hives deal is that they receive ticket revenue and if the people who brokered this deal are handing out free passes then they are undermining what was agreed.

We are a championship standard side. Statistically, we are not the worst performing side at the moment, but unlike Catalan, we don't have a hat-full of players to return in the coming weeks.

Half the players are admittedly.

I'd still take that over a half side topping up their pensions.

Watching Broncos the last couple of years has been a dispiriting chore.

Apart from one or two honourable exceptions the previous squad were complete & utter wasters.

As dire as the team were in 2013, they managed 5 wins and 2 draws which is 5 wins and 2 draws more than this "plucky bunch" will probably achieve.

This side has at least 4 or 5 wins in it I reckon.

For example the defeat to Wire was nowhere near as bad as the complete capitulation last season.

Broncos 2013 was less than the sum of its parts.

Broncos 2014 is quite considerably more.

Our average loss this year so far is 14-44.
Same 4 games in 2013 that average was 17-44......and we'd won one of them.

The only side that have performed worse than us so far this year are Catalans........they have a series of tough games coming up Saints/Hudds/Wigan....they may well be on 0 points come April 17th but I suspect they will turn their season around starting with us.

If we lose this weekend I suspect Paddock Punters odds on a winless season may shorten....

May have been tempted to agree with your points except I know of at least 2 who were admitted with SKY TV passes. (And were taken to the press facilities by somebody with the initials TK long after entering the ground, nice anecdote they told me but that's for another time.)

TV people at the Hive, TK will always suck up to the press if they report nice things, if not then he bans them from the ground.

Email Gus instead.

It's his mess let him sort it out.

Although what with obtaining a programme for the Warrington game, for another forum user, we are talking about doubling his workload. icon_wink.gif

Why talk to the monkey when the organ grinder is apparently quite happy to talk ?
