Long live the Fulham-London Crusaders-Broncos Harley-Quids Broncos (again) RLFC!:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_22268.jpg



Actually you've jumped to a massive conclusion of my views, London's problems have been largely to do with a "build it and they will come" mentality.

Poor Management and no Marketing and ofcourse the failure to secure a single, accessible and permanent base/stadia of our own.

However my comment refers to LB's management thinking that some sort of cross-code co-operation is the answer, when at the end of the day, we in RL London have nothing to offer them in return, in business co-operation is a two way thing and we constantly come to the table with nothing.

I hope that clarifies that I'm not just bashing the "punt-monkies", more our managements position.

I've only just returned to posting on this board after a long period and have just seen your "20 point plan", believe it or not, we are not a million miles apart in thinking, perhaps you should apply for MacKay's job.

I'm pleased the fat has been pulled out of the fire. However, the most important issue for the Broncos is not to simply breathe a sigh of relief and then carry on as before. The club's been in a spiral downwards for the best part of five years now, and the fact that they got so close to extinction - and that they are now 6 weeks away from the first game, but don't yet have enough bodies to fill 13 shirts - points to a dreadful case of poor administration.

Responsibility for that has to lie with Mackay. He's overseen a collapse in crowds, a collapse in relationships with the few fans who are left, the departure from a ground without a replacement, the end of the academy just as it was becoming promising, the departure of key members of staff, and then this cliff-edge pantomime. Throw in rumours about unpaid bills and wages, and you're looking at a maladministration catastrophe.

There's an old saying about madness being to do the same thing but expect different results. Broncos have hung on in existence by the skin of their teeth. There need to be changes at the top. My hope is that Kleanthous will join the board of Broncos and see Mackay depart the club, to be replaced by someone with better ideas, better contacts and better skills.

At the moment, all we have is a stay of execution. It'll take more than this for a reprieve.

The management has to change if this is to be anything other than a temporary reprieve.

I'm utterly amazed that this news isn't up on the clubs web site. Surely people need to know that we will be playing next season at a new ground and NOT at The Stoop which it still states. As far as I can see the only update on their site is the 2014 fixture list.

Be fair.

It's going to take Gus ages to scout all the curry houses in Barnet.
