All Hughes said was they relate to much to the old failed brand, otherwise, I have no idea.

I am sad to see them go, but if that is what David feels or is being advised I am sure they will come up with a really suitable mascot which we can market!

Did he actually say that?









Absolutely priceless. You couldn't make it up.

So a Bronco is an unsuitable mascot for a team called London Broncos? A Bronco that has been around the club for longer than 95% of its players and staff. People ramble on about history - they loved it when we had a shirt that represented the London Broncos era, yet you advocate getting rid of Buck and Dusty, "coz Hughes sed so". Lunacy.

And you don't market a mascot.

If only we can be assured that Homer won't be inside the carcass, I don't really care what the mascot is called.

Maybe Mr Hughes is trying to fool all of us? We'll soon know.

Tuesday arvo beckons ...

No it was Gus Mackay and he said it me directly!

I thought as much. I'm relying on your reliability as I have told several people about this fact

Interesting if Buck and Dusty are dispatched to the knackers yard and to be replaced by what? Can't wait until next week.

The failed brand is a Super League Club in London, regardless of name, owners or ground.

The sport is alive and well at a grassroots level, but the majority of those playing it are not interested in watching it, especially the kids.

It has been very noticeable, the number of kids that were involved in the match day events, heading away from the Stoop rather than into it as kickoff approaches, despite having free tickets, and those that do stay bale out before the end of the game.

The club need to carry out a survey of the kids for the reasons. One of which will be the cost of chips, and soft drinks. The prices maybe okay for the average middle class RU fan, but not the working class kids that play RL. This is one area that should be renegotiated in the Stadium lease.

Anybody know where the relaunch is being held???

I think your first statement is far sweeping about failed brands in the heartlands of the game for a lot longer period clubs did not attract large crowds, Huddersfield in such a Large Stadium often only used to get average of 5,000? then St Helens this last season having to move down the road to Widnes a few miles suffered such a big drop in their attendances.

Yes I accept we have a problem, the grassroots game as you state is more healthy in the South than many areas of the North, but we do not seem to be able to attract the players, but you have to understand the area size of London and the clubs are spread not all based in Twickenham. Kids are a problem that they do not stay and their parents we know that.

But the game has worked in London we have had attendances in the past which at least were equal to many Northern clubs, we need to get the success on the pitch and the marketing completely right, also the are of the ground with good travel connections has to be so right.

You were doing well until that point. Laughable comment.
