| I too was surprised Jarrod played today. He seemed somewhat reluctant to get involved in tackles. I personally would not have played him. But what do I know ?

His presence though must lift younger players, but what a bonus having Chris Hankinson to convert goals from all over the pitch.

Not that many in truth.
I would expect the club to claim 500. My estimate would be 200-250. Just a few away fans this week.

I think you'll find that attendances don't matter to the Club and haven't been an issue since 2006/7 when the tailspin began.
Wimbledon will be a fiasco when it happens.
A mid table (at best) side playing against sides from towns nobody in London has even heard of will hardly have the kicking the doors down.
Happy with 2 points, but the sheer lack of anything from the club in effort to engage fans (new/current/lapsed) points to nobody really giving a toss anymore.

| The club seems in a very weak position (and largely of its own making). Why is a move to Wimbledon the priority ? Or maybe that is being messed up too, we just don't know it yet.

Nobody would move to a new ground during a season (other than Broncos), just makes no sense. Given the team is average at best, that is not going to inspire new fans, you need a winning team playing exciting stuff whatever the sport.
Can't find any evidence of any other team sniffing around to share with AFC but you never know. Wasn't the impression given when the announcement was made that it was about Dons Trust being onside & the Council a formality? The reality seems somewhat different. In any event, the way our support is disappearing, we could play in a phone box if we can find one.

I'd hazard a guess that like the name change back to The London Broncos and then the move to the hive, a wage thief has the ear of an out of touch poundland oligarch desperate to have his dream of a club with a pitch in use all year and thousands of cross over fans come true, even though it didn't work at Charlton, Harlequins, Charlton, Brentford, Harlequins, barnet or trailfinders.
Other than failure at these previous grounds, th only other common denominator is that we rocked up, stuck posts in the ground, announce a KO time and spent £0 telling anyone we were there whilst expecting our hosts to fill the stadium.
Brentford fans were bucket shaking during our time there....the club was brasic and going nowhere....2 decades on and look at them now....but apparently fans aren't important to Dave and his pet chimp

Little harsh, Chimps are quite intelligent, Lemurs on the other hand are particularly thick.

| DH has done well to find worse management than Gus Mackay.

I think in truth that Jason is a CEO in name only. I do not see that he has any power. I might be wrong, but that is how I see it.

| Club is a shambles. Bang average mid table squad. As far from SL as you could get on and off the pitch. A massive 280 bothered on sunday. The club has successfully managed to alienate an entire fan base and shed around 4000 fans. In truth, I think the club sees the fans as an inconvenience rather than something to work with in building the club. No effort is made to engage. No effort to promote (no surprise here as the club has been clueless in promoting itself for as long as I can remember). I tried to find out details about the womens team (squad, fixtures, venue). Imagine my shock when there was nothing on the website (I found out some details from elsewhere, first game on the 14th I think?).
With being over dramatic, it breaks my heart tbh, have loved following the Broncos but like so many, have decided to call.it a day. The foolish hope that the club might get its act together has finally wasted away. Sorry state of affairs really

| If that 280 is the official gate, take this in...
Oxford RL frequently pulled bigger gates than that for home matches during their first two season. (I was a dual Broncos/Oxford season ticket holder.)
Yes, Broncos are now pulling fewer fans than a team widely regarded as a fan free joke.
Unbelievable.
Caveat - home games played in Oxford only
