| I don't know how but we may start to get some inkling on Thursday night. I think the door to the club is at least ajar.

| Before I start, I don't want this to be seen as having a go at anyone or what they're trying to do but how many people will be willing to get this actually started up?
A number of Supporters Trust's involved with both Rugby League and Football buy a controlling stake of their club but how many would be keen to do that at the Broncos? From what I've read on here, many either dislike or blame the current owners and staff for the predicament that this club now lies in so I don't know how many people would be keen to invest say £120 a year (£10 a month) extra on top of what they're already paying and what they have paid during the club's lowest ebb.
I don't know either how suitable it would be to get involved with the club this year considering the uncertainty that lies ahead. I also don't know how keen the club would be to let fans get on board knowing that they're not the most popular people around?
Have the Trust asked to speak with Kleanthous at Barnet? Also, it's worth talking to North Wales Crusaders in case anything happens that sees the club disappear. It may also be worth talking with them in regards to forming a club if that many people are against the running of this current club.
I cannot be there on Thursday, but I wish those involved the best of luck.

| Thanks Moe
We'll just have to take it as it comes! I think we can at least harness our enthusiasm for some key projects, whatever we decide they are.
Alternative is to sit there and watch the Broncos die - we have nothing to lose now.

| See you tonight! Really encouraged by the number of people who have got in touch, even if they can't make it to the meeting. We have great fans, even if there's not that many of us left anymore, and I'm sure we can make a difference.

| I can't make it tonight.
However, I'd be very happy to pay into an association or trust. I'd prefer it if the money was ring-fenced and put into something that the club can't 'waste' - i.e. junior development rather than player salaries.
Hoping for a big turnout and continued enthusiasm. Many thanks to nkpom for keeping this alive admist what continues to be a depressing state of affairs at the club. But I do believe that an association/trust can make a difference - a small one to begin with but who knows where we might be in 5 years time. (OK - don't answer that, 'twas rhetorical).

| Thanks Colly
I think you're dead right on the money issue. I would like to see membership fees being used for admin etc. and then funds set up for specific tasks the Association wants to undertake.
We'll see how it all goes tonight.

| Meeting exceeded my expectations. We're ready to roll - London Broncos Supporters Association is open for business.
Thanks for all the people who contacted me because they couldn't make it tonight - I'm looking forward to working with you all.

Echo that! Sorry I had to scarper pretty sharpish at the end, would have been nice to have stayed for a bit but just didn't have the time. Left feeling pretty positive about things, good to be in a room with a number of like minds!
It's a start - and I'm a great believer in starts!

Congratulations on the launch of the Supporters Association. It was a good start up meeting (I hope I didn't go on too much for your liking) In your start up phase if you want to test ideas, or make use of any of the approaches Barnet FC Supporters Trust has developed give me a shout. As customers of the same stadium owner I am sure there are areas where the two Supporters organisations can work together for mutual advantage and for the benefit of our respective clubs. Thanks for allowing me to come to the meeting and share some thoughts. Good luck.
Best Regards

Think you might find Mr Hogg is no longer part of the London set-up - for at least one season and may have been 2 since he was.
