With the exception of two or three clubs, away followings in Super League aren't great.
You estimate that's what it would cost for one game at the opposite end of the country. If those poor buggars have to do it every other weekend as opposed to once a season, it's no wonder they don't travel in numbers.

Agree Giantscorpio. That's how much it cost me to drive up to Hull including the £24 admission at the KC. Luckily kids ST holders are free for away games. The away fans to London only have to do this once a year while the Broncos (& Catalans) lot have to do it 12 times a year. That's why London doesn't travel to many away games as at it's a minimum of £100 per game or well over £1200pa.

Also, it used to be that people would go on a trip to London for the day/weekend, see the sights etc. But now Catalans are in the SL, it's much more attractive for a family weekend down in France than in London. I was a regular visitor pre-06 to London, since then, I haven't turned up because I'd rather save my money and go to France.

Why are you idiots getting all paranoid about your own following? I couldn't care less if you bought 50 or 5000, my only reason for mentioning it was in comparison to the crowd at our St Helens game.

Why are northerners so obsessed with how many supporters they took away? At least if you are Wigan or Leeds its something to be proud of maybe. But when you bring a fleet of taxis like your lot, why bother commenting?

What do you say to our fans who are faced with that every 2 weeks you miserable cretin?

I sympathise with them both.

Classy

There are about 77 more games, 37 of them at "home" before DH leaves....and I can assure you that anything less than 5k average gates by the end of Superleague 19 will see either the club fold or the RFL/SKY having to step in.

That`s not the type of reply I am used to from Broncos fans.
I have sympathy for the travelling Broncos fans, but it is not our fault that you are based so far away from the action.
Any way you could go and watch London Skolars when the Broncos are up north.

The club isn't well advertised. I know they're trying...but I live 5 miles away from the Stoop and if it wasn't for the fact that I knew about RL in London before hand, I'd never know London Broncos existed. That is a real shame.

No good just sending emails etc....you're only contacting people that either go or can't be a$sed.

Why not get some deals or coverage on massive sendouts like Groupon or Martins Money etc...these emails/correspondance reach and massive market.

Sadly it is looking more reality, the start we have had which are not easy teams to beat has not helped and will not bring in a thousand extra or more that we need, it well may be the last option and spin of the dice to make the last move of venue and it either works next time or not!

Marketing still a shambles or non-existent, poor performance on the pitch and a coach with no experience of the professional game apparently appointed against the advice of the RFL - I'm having the heretical thought that the problem is David Hughes.

So what happened to all comments on here after the Saints games that "...I saw so many people at the game who I hadn't seen since we were last called London Broncos and played at Griffin Park?" Where did those people disappear to once more?
The miraculous impact that certain people felt reverting to Broncos would have is certainly not happening.

I wonder how many tried and gave up. The normal 30-40 journey to the Stoop ended up 1hr 15 for me (arrived just after 2 pm) because of the people travelling to Wembley. It's gotta be said that kick off time was pretty poor considering all the people going to the League Cup final.

But yeah the crowd was very small considering how good it looked for the opener. Hudds brought 2 coaches so that'll see attendance down, but not account for all of it. Hope it picks up a bit, I'm trying to bring one person to each match.
