GF-What does the crowd matter? The financial model has changed. AK benefits from attendance not LB.

Hughsey knows his liabilities as they are fixed.

Why do you keep ranting on about something that is Barnets issue

Knowing your liabilities is one thing. Liking them is another entirely.

I assume you can just turn up and pay on the day?

You can

Thanks.

Yup and the very helpful staff at the Hive will tell you how much admission is to each part of the ground is , and then point you in the direction of the appropriate turnstiles

Any/many pubs near the ground?
How much in a taxi from Kings cross to the Hive?
How long by tube?
Thanks in anticipation.

A couple but they are small. Moranos just outside, Wishing Well in Edgware 10-15min walk away. Bars in the ground are decent.
God knows on Taxi, get the tube to Edgware (Northern Line) or Canons Park (Jubilee Line) 30-40min.

I've only got 20 mins in me before I need a pee! Ok for the first five or six pints but when the seal is broken!

There are toilets on the platform at Wembley tube.

Ha ha, thanks.

What's it like for car parking either at the ground or street parking. Thanks in advance.

£5 in the ground (350 spaces)
£2 Canons Park tube
Plenty of street parking but try to stay off Camrose ave as it causes jams.

The attendances at the London Broncos directly influence the clubs future. AK has gone on record a number of times saying he will not invest in the London Broncos, so if we are to have any chance of survival in 2015 and beyond, we will need to attract a benefactor/investor to replace Hughes.
The agreement for the [uHive is for 1 year[/u with the exact terms for the option of a second year still to be ironed out. AK has banked about 50k in ticketing revenue so far and has done little in the way of any Marketing. If we average 1,500 across the season, he'll have picked up 400k on the gate......after he takes his overheads out of that, it won't leave an awful lot to "plough into the club".
Attendances are not Barnet's issue...they are a massive piece of the jigsaw that is building London Broncos...AK has no interest in Rugby League other than flogging beer and chilli 13 more times a year. Your acceptance of this "new dawn" is frightening really.....no doubt you will follow the club next year in the championship and the following years as the downward spiral continues, but to do so "quietly" makes you as culpable as Hughes and MacKay in the demise of the club we both support.

Also, how many times have we heard that professional sportsmen and women respond to playing to a crowd? We have enough trouble attracting northerners south as it is, but the added "bonus" of playing to an audience of hundreds will make it even less appealing. This year we have a number of reserve grade 'stralians and a bunch of kids.....Moore is the exception to the rule and only because he's "trouble" in the eyes of other clubs.

New fans to the game are hardly going to come back because of the atmosphere created by 1,000 fans in a 80% empty arena....

Ha ha, it's in a suburban desert mate.

The Broncos crowds mean you can have a whole row of parking to yourself.

Thanks for the info.

U19's at Hemel have a ref A. Bentham....any relation?

This is a clear 4 pointer and could really make or break either team's season even at this early stage.

Looking at your early score against Warrington and the score against Bradford I get the impression that your team is building quickly. Certainly far from the easy push overs the media would have us believe pre-season.

I anticipate a tense, nail biting affair.

I appreciate your comments on the crowd front and hope there is a decent crowd for this one. The game's winner is far from certain going into this one.

Could this be the first drive in RL match where you can park your car on the terraces now they are closed to "fans"?

No offers for Barnet fans on this one. Looks like the attendances of the first 2 games have seriously cooled any interest TK or the Hive have in the Broncos and they have decided that trying to entice people to come to the next 3 games would be a waste of money.

I suspect they will try again when the bigger clubs arrive.

Actually - I like the Hive (and its a pain for me to get to so don't think its because north London suits me), and think the atmosphere has been good and the crowd always "feels" bigger than the stats! but pity about closing the terraces, detracts from the atmosphere

Are you saying that after only 2 games Barnet FC are throwing in the towel, the next few games are when there should have been some effort to attract fans and get them hooked. Not only that, we could spring a surprise and gets some points on the board.

What is so special about the next three games that will see people flocking to see London Broncos?

I think what daftdad means is as these are games in the past that we have been in with a shout of winning. but also they don't come with a large following of fans. So there before i think he means that these game would have been good ones to offer some deals on and boost the crowd.
Like daftdad said if we can grab a win or two in these games, it might then encourage them to come back for other game when some of the so called bigger clubs are in town.

well that's what I think he means...
