Blah blah blah!
I'm sure all that makes perfect sense to somewhere who cares.
But some of us just care about having a team to watch, no matter how badly run they seem to be.

Possibly.
But I have no say or control over how the club is run so I tend not to let it worry me. |

We probably have the most youthful team in the SL with these 3....

Alex Foster, 20, Thomas Minns and James Duckworth, both 19, made their Super League debuts last season for the Rhinos and agreed long term contracts at Headingley Carnegie last year.
Second row Foster joined the Rhinos from Wetherby Bulldogs and scored his first try for Leeds in their win at the Broncos last season, going on to make a total of nine appearances. Winger James Duckworth joined the Rhinos from Whinmoor Warriors and made two appearances last season, scoring a try in the win at Wakefield. Thomas Minns, also from Whinmoor, made three senior appearances in 2013, scoring on his debut against Castleford.
Broncos head coach Tony Rea said: "It's important to note that we had identified them and been asking for a few months. We'd watched their debuts and watched their performances last year. They were players we wanted around here."
Commenting on the move, Rhinos Head Coach Brian McDermott said, "This is a great opportunity for all three players. Last season they showed their potential with Alex Foster in particular becoming a regular in our side on merit because of his performances. They have trained well in pre-season with us and the move to London is a chance for them to be regularly involved in a first team environment.
"We hope all three players will have a bright future with the Rhinos and this move is a chance for them have a different life experience, away from home and all the challenges that that brings with it. A number of our current first team squad spent time away from the club on loan in their early years, including Ben Jones-Bishop who also had a year down in London, and I am sure Alex, Thomas and James will make the most of this chance." |

It makes no difference.....the issue is that THERE WAS NO NEED TO LEAVE THE STOOP IN THE FIRST PLACE AND ANY SUPPOSED SAVINGS IN RENT HAVE BEEN NEGATED IN GIVING UP ALL REVENUS STREAMS TO THE NEW LANDLORD. ![]()
Firstly I am not a London supporter so I would say my view is not biasd.
So do London not get any revenue streams at all i.e. season tickets sales,match day income shirt sales, bar takings etc, but have to pay the players contracts,admin staff etc in return for not paying stadium rent.
If so sounds even crazier than the Eddie Stobart deal and thats saying something.

Here's some figures I do know.....feel free to jump in at any stage to say that they are not accurate....
Match day costs at the stoop:
2008
I think the way the club has been mis managed over a number of years has been diabolical.
I think the apparent lack of a long term strategy from the top is diabolical.
I think the standard of players, the coaching and the on field performances over the last two or three years have been diabolical.
I think since the shambolic and downright incompetent actions of the club since the end of the 2013 season have been diabolical.
I think the way the fans have been treated, not just over the last few months but over a prolonged period of time has been diabolical.
I think the fact I know nothing about the decision making process that landed us at the Hive is hugely disappointing but possibly understandable.
I don’t need facts and figures to back any of the above statements up, they all speak for themselves.
So, on the basis of the above anyone would think I would clear off to a less complex club – Oxford, Skolars, Hemel all fit the bill – and maintain my rugby league fix.
But London Broncos are in my blood, I am a fan, I am a supporter. I will not be taken for a mug, but I will be there to give them my support.
I live in the firm belief rugby league in the Capital can work and my great hope is for it to work. London Broncos are the best hope for this to become a reality.

Gutters, I know you seem to think you are the font of all knowledge, but can I ask why you answered a question I asked bronc?

Font of all knowledge? Nah, but I refuse to swallow the bullahit being gobbled up greedily by some on here. It does seem that the strategic plan for the club this year is to hope that fans turn up and we are competitive on the park.....I answered the question because it relates to the first part of that genius strategy.
The figures I used are 100% accurate though.........matchday costs went down, admin went up, the team for worse so we've moved again.....insanity! |

Actually it does make a difference bronc said that the logistics of getting to the hive from his home was too difficult, for all you know I might have been going to offer him a lift on match days
Gutters we have left the stoop get over it! It is what it is right or wrong it's in the past. I was looking fwd and thinking of solutions for a fan who has stated its not going to be easy for him to get to the games, how hard is that for you to comprehend?
As for you being frustrated mate I will use your chosen tactic
WE HAVE LEFT THE STOOP IT'S IN THE PAST, GET OVER IT

The question I asked was how bronc got to games
Discuss
your rant sort of missed the question, it was a question about transport quite simple

Fully agree with PC Plum thinking of getting a 'Mushrooms Love Broncos' tee shirt.
On the deal with Barnet it has loads of faults but does reduce David Hughes losses, if that was not achieved we probably would not have a club. So can't knock it that hard.
Know the club are not that hot on rules so would just quote RFL Rule C1:2:15:
No Club shall at any one time have more than five Players on loan (irrespective of which Club they are registered with).
Just in case we want to pay more players than we can play, 3 and counting at the moment.

I stand corrected.
In the Alice Through the Looking Glass world that is Broncos it makes sense to look for club news on another club's website. |

Yes but you don't need to rant on about it with facts and figures on every thread. Nobody here swallows it either so why do you have to go on and on and on about it?? Just text your mate Gus 20 x a day instead and save us the endless self righteous know-it-all dullardary. |
