| Quote: BigTime "Sometimes you just have to trust the club knows what it’s doing on the recruitment front. The difficulty is that the club made such a horse’s rear of recruitment last year that trust is hard to come by and our ‘light touch’ and late approach to recruitment in the face of everyone else wrapping up their business by now is a legitimate concern. I’d like to be able to see more than a handful of competitive games next season so I hope we have a plan. It’s difficult to see where the wins come from. Much will depend I think on when we play teams like Widnes and Sheffield at home. Both good on their day but prone to off days. Could be another difficult season as is.'"
The club seem to think the core of the players who played a few decent games last season are the answer. We will be in the second year or a three year period where Hughes set a target of 5,000 fans. The recruitment policy is fundamentally incompatable with this target.

Today's newsletter confirms Errea as new kit and clothing partner. This has got to be a step forward from a rag and bonehead.

We've had them before through a middle man this sounds like we will be the middle man for others. IIRC shirts bit on small size.

That’s the way I’m reading it as well. What a life!

Kits sorted first then team. Not the typical way to do things but there we are. I’m sure they’ll be fine. Our performances next season- that is still to be seen. Not an easy league this. No obvious mugs in it. Hope we don’t turn out to be the mugs. By that I mean the team, the debate on whether supporters, including myself are mugs is, I fear, done and dusted. Sigh.

| Well with luck that should put an end to the blue & yellow rags of last season.

I see you don’t subscribe to the same squad, same shirt theory!

I was pretty sure if we struggled to get a manufacturer on board we'd end up using the yellow & blue poo for this season. Just hope sanity returns & we play in black, but with Hughes & Co anything is possible.

Yellow and blue was supposed to be for one season only. It obviously didn't draw in the footie fans so must be binned in favour of a proper Broncos shirt.

I think the shirt should have a giant horse’s head on the front and it’s ar#e on the back. I also think we should redo the logo. I have some crayons I can loan the club and I’ll get busy putting together a half ar#ed mission statement. I have it on good authority this has brought in good sponsorship deals for a north west based club. Could work for us.

You may well be able to loan crayons to the club. But do the the club have a small child available to do the logo design? And another one to authorise it?
As for the mission statement: isn't David H really likes horses enough?

Bound to be some teething problems Benny but I’m confident that by the mid way point of the season we’ll be where we should have been at the start.
Actually if the current fad is for the shirts to replicate what the owner likes I understand he’s a broker so why don’t we have a photo of a wad of cash on front and back. Not only would this attract the City but we’d probably get plenty of coverage from the media for our wacky design and as Leigh have shown no publicity is bad publicity. This is a runner. I’m in.

Maybe throw in a name change to the London Loadsamoney.

Not for the first time the fans have come up with the sensible solution staring the club in the face. This is a winner.
Now for another solution. If the club want to do well next season and not be stuck at the foot of the table playing poorly and haemorrhaging fans - buy some players like every other team in the league. Job done.

One example of how well the website is maintained.
