| I really am pessimistic about this review. Any organisation that reviews itself almost always sweeps issues under the carpet. They are hardly likely to suggest they all should resign. I have come to the conclusion that the club have lost any plot they had and are up the creek without a paddle.

19 SL games prior to this year v Saints....average attendance 4,801.
123 more fans than average for the first game back as London Broncos........tell me sogspurs and DSWG, who do you blame if not the CEO?
7 Games back at the stoop v Saints....5,029 average.......105 LESS fans at our first game back........who's to blame if not the person charged with building the club up?
Are you saying that is we'd beaten Wire and Hull, we would have got another 5k for the visit of "Huddlesfield"?
The Review is pointless as it's being carried out by someone who has helped cause the problems under review as well as by a chairman who refuses to sack the coach.......

Along with most of the season ticket holders I would have thought.

Black Backgrounds/Zoot.gif Freedom for supporters of the government, only for members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. freedom is always and exclusively for one who thinks differently.

| The review should be done by the RFL. The trouble with that is that if it was done properly they might come to the conclusion that there isn't a market for top level RL in London - something that I've always maintained!

I feel you are completely wrong how could the RFL conduct this type of review, which may lead and conclude in the sacking of staff including coaching. it is way beyond their remit or capability in my opinion, they already have enough problems of their own.
If we all agreed about what you feel may have be the conclusion, then many of us have wasted a lot of time and money in the years since Fulham. Perhaps if they reviewed all clubs then we may find a very small Super League!

Effectively the RFL review clubs via the licensing process.

"That wasn't a kick, the was a pass with his foot!" Brian Noble making Andrew Voss lose sleep: |
|
| Gutterfax, the club can't be judged solely on attendances, yes they are important financially but when you stop looking at just the numbers they are real people giving up their own time and usually travelling a distance to watch the team, the team has been poop for years now and is just getting worse, so letting more people know about us and then showing them we are a less than average team who don't try very hard and loses to small northern towns is not helping, I've given up trying to bring new people because I'm embarrassed at showing them how little broncos care. It doesnt mean that beating saints hull and hudds would give us 5k per game, but it would have certainly increased numbers.
I'm not saying Gus is perfect but after this review I would rather he still be there. The team needs to get itself noticed for the right reasons before the office staff have a chance of marketing them. Something like making the play offs and knocking out a few big clubs away from home or be involved in a great cup match on the BBC that everyone wants to talk about afterwards. I know I'm dreaming but the reality of it is too depressing

That is completely correct, that is why it is the best system, people would like to see relegation & promotion to return but in out sport currently how would clubs promoted survive. We think we have problems with the review today Bradford Bulls announce that their position is worse than predicted, they now admit they need $1.25 million just to survive to the end of the year! I do feel David Hughes and Gus should have set a period for the review and then kept to it.

This season would at least be interesting with relegation at stake. Our games our currently pretty pointless (no pun intended).

simpsons/017.jpg Welcome Quins Kitties born 02.04.09 -
Purdo - Determined, loveable with a "can-do" attitude. A born leader.
Louie - Big, white and fluffy. A very noisy prop forward.
Harley- Cute and gorgeous (just like our no.9) Well, I couldn't call her Chad, could I?
Update on Quins Mogs :-
Purdo - deffo leader amongst Mogs. The Capo.
Louie - turned out to be more like Louie Spence than LMS. Re-named Judas.
Harley - Cute but not as gorgeous as our no.9.
Oh well, at least I haven't got a Willy.:simpsons/017.jpg |

Sogs is right, imo.
Re the "Review", wonder if there actually is one? Could it be that the powers that be came up with this in response to pressure from the fans (and maybe to quiet those grumbling about us on Sky and in the media?) Guess it looks like we are trying to address the issues...
A review just involving Gus and DH is pretty pointless, imo.

I am not impressed with the review done on the Bulls in that case, it may just be better to stick to Gus and David's 'back of envelope, kitchen table' review!

| If Bulls go into Administration what does it matter in SL terms - just a points deduction?
