| MatthewVose For a first season you have gone through a time which is something like never experienced before and hopefully never again or it will be the end of Super League in London.
But I will never Judge supporters our own or opposition we all approach watching the game in a different way! We pay our good money and that is our choice! I will Never Forget that first game at Fulham, Mums Dads Kids and even Grandparents sat together, not a clue about the rules of the game but loving what rugby league brought to them rather than football, I can still see their faces we need to bring that back again, it is not living in the Padt! it is what our great game was built on a Family Friendly Sport!
Yes I am down at present with the way the club are doing things but I live with Hope this can't continue someone will wake up before it is too late and do something to save Our Club and Super League in London. Hang on in There!

| yesterday was shocking. Utter disorganisation, amateur standard play - lower level amateur at that, lazyness, players obviously uninterested, no heart, nothing. I cant believe Rob Powell still has a job. It's a joke. That team does not deserve to be playing in Super League.
I'll be at Gillingham, my daughter is in the minis festival in the morning and the Broncos game is our, err, highlight of the day. As I said to 'er indoors last night I'm worried that just as I'm getting my girl into RL she's going to cotton on to the fact how utterly abysmal the Broncos are and it'll put her off for life. She'll be seeing us get whupped next week and she'll be seeing us get whupped the weekend after that as well. Thank God I took her to Dewsbury for her first game!

| For me the real sadness was the utter predictability of it all. We all knew it would be a humiliation - Sky did, bookies did, Huddersfield did, fans did, and sadly it seems the players did.

Nope. Yes, this season has been a complete disaster but boycotts and tantrums won't influence the club.

| From the games I saw yesterday, Crusaders and Whitehaven would fancy their chances against us (got back from the Racecourse just in time to see the replay of Hudds' first try).

Enjoy the mini's at least you will see effort and enthusiasm from all taking part. The sad part is there is likely to be a good number of newbies attending the Gills game and what are they going to see from the Broncos?

| In answer to the original question asked, I don`t see anything changing any time soon and I have got the uncomfortable feeling that what we are witnessing is the final demise of the club.
DH has done his money with the club and deserves the respect for putting so much time, effort and money into keeping this club going......having said that it appears that he has made some terrible decisions along the way which has led us to our current dreadful state. He has made a commitment to keep the club going to the end of this licence period and I think that is all we will get......forget about him pumping extra funds into marketing and players.
On the subject of the coach, if he has a contract to the end of the season then DH will let it run its course......god knows who we might get thereafter but don`t expect any big hitters. A quick look at the player contract status indicates that there will be precious few of the current squad leaving, so any new coach will have pretty much the same outfit to work with. I can see Gus walking before too long.
Without any new investment (and lets face it, who would want to take on such a shambles in the current financial climate) all I expect to see is more of the same until the club finally folds. As a fan all I can do is to continue buying my season ticket and get to the games (I have scrubbed the idea of any away games this season) until we reach our final depressing conclusion.

Completely correct, all it will do is bring an early end and kill of Super League in London!

| Big concern is that a lot of people became Bronco fans after being fans of RL first and watching as a neutral.
Problem now is that things have got so bad that even as a neutral the games are completely unappealing.

Id say the Club are making a pretty good job of it themselves currently.
The onfield shambles needs rescuing whether that be with David Hughes money
or the RFL`s. Inaction will lead to the Clubs death.
Maybe there is some credence in the suggestion made on here a few weeks back that
DH is sitting back waiting for the RFl to keep the London Super League project alive.

| The way things are going I'll be watching Hemel next year. There must be at least some doubt as to whether London Broncos will even exist by then.

Yep, started as a St George fan in Oz, then a move to the UK where I watched Wigan win virtually everything and a move to London in the late 80's turned me into the London fan I've been ever since. Games at The Chiswick Polytechnic Stadium was my first experience of them. If I were a newbie I probably wouldn't make to much of an effort to watch London at the moment.
