| See we now seem to have drafted in Neil Thorman for the game. Isn't he about to claim his State Retirement Pension?

I understand he was Skolars best player. Putting to one side he is pushing 38 and hasn’t played in the Championship since 2014 (I believe) I can’t understand why once again Broncos haven’t had the courage of their convictions and actually announced a player they have recruited.
I for one am delighted as you know I have long advocated that we should recruit extensively from L1 with specific focus on Skolars. That is the recipe for success and I see this very much as a like for like with Chisholm. Kudos to the board.
In other news I see Gahan is out. I think he’s been quite busy so let’s hope the replacements for him and DC do a job.

I'm aware of two half price offers for tomorrow night. Local Resident Flyers and AFC Wimbledon. Those are obviously targeted though. Would think they need to start looking at general deals for all.

This is good news both in of itself and because they can stop obsessing about the Gold Lounge and focus for 5 minutes on the important things.

| I think £20 is cheaper than previous games when it was £22 adult and £17.50 concession. I can't go. Travelling to Yorkshire on Saturday and getting home pushing midnight to get up six hours later is a bit late for me.

One of the slight problems here is that the more deals (and the paucity of performance across the season) the less attractive Season Tickets become going forward. 2020 - 2 home games and let them have the pro rata refund. 2021 about 7 games was it including the Toulouse game which I really, really don’t need to go to again. Not sure value for money wise the ST has been a winner. A lot of it is about supporting the club but let’s be frank it’s not been great recruitment, performance and on and off field entertainment wise. I’m not sure I’ll rush to buy next season but rather wait to see what they are proposing and take a view. (Should there be a next season of course.)

This is the problem with Friday night games. I can see it could be a winner with locals. But we don’t have many and we need to work harder to get them in. For the rest of us the mechanics of getting home and back make it a bit of a chore. I’m going but as you say it will be a late one.

Is he just in for the one game,short loan,or until end of the season?
I actually thought he had retired - or was he still at Skolars?
More of a shock than the rest of the recruitment.

I hope it’s good wine in the corporate area!

He was a cut above almost every one I’ve seen in a Broncos shirt this season.

| Got a try back. Maybe attack is the best form of defence……. seeing as we don’t appear to have a defence!
