I'm a Wigan fan but London Broncos are my second team. I'm devastated by their present predicament and hope a Koukash can come in to save them. Wigan have a great history but were going nowhere under Maurice Lyndsey and Brian Noble until Lenigan and Michael Maguire came to the club.
London had a generous owner but needed a Michael Maguire. There aren't many around, mores the pity.
Let's hope London rise from the ashes.

My view on this is the the CEO made a major mistake when before the start of last season he stated the Broncos would move from the Stoop which in my opinion blighted the whole season. Together with a team that were under performing, or was this their limit of performance, trying to grow a home crowd was always going to be difficult. Further the CEO has alienated supporters whether it is Broncos or local RL communities to the point where the Broncos as a club are in my opinion dead. It is easy to blame the RFL but the real culprit in this debacle is the CEO and DH who I find it difficult to have bank rolled the club yet put up with individual’s charged with running of the club.
If any one person should have left the club it is the CEO who I believe has been a complete disaster and how he has managed to keep his job is beyond my comprehension. Over the last couple of year since the CEO has been around, the club has moved further and further away from the paying punters, starting with scrapping of end of game awards on the grounds it upset the players, poor scheduling of off field events such as testimonial’s and of end of season awards. For example look at this year’s end of season awards which was a classic on non-communication when fans were informed by text from players that the awards has taken place with little if any general announcement.
We then have the long running saga of the ground, alienating support from Gillingham and totally blanking the Chairman of Gillingham FC and now the rumoured move to the Hive. In my humble opinion the Broncos have been totally screwed by poor management decisions at local level and in its present management structure deserves to die. What I find sickening here is the wreckage left behind and the side lining of long standing and recently recruited fans to the cause of RL in London. The game is too important to let London die but if it does then so be it, the youth section and regional teams such as Hemel and Skolars will be left to pick up the pieces. The sooner the CEO goes the better in my opinion since I generally believe should we manage to put a team out next year I have no confidence in either seeing a competitive team, nor any trust in the management of trying to grow interest in the Broncos.

(But I'm told the curry was good)

Is this the worst way to die, slowly and with no-one knowing? A quick departure would have at least given more time for something to be rescued from the ruins.

This club is not even good at suicide.

I suspect the club has been murdered, put in the boot of a car which is parked at Heathrow by someone who headed for home.

Daffdad, probably the best post on here in an age, think it has nailed it.

Agreed

The fans who wouldn't take no for an answer. rlhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24458891rl. We can rebuild it!

The problem with a trust is the wide geographical spread of our support - for something like this to succeed you really need the bulk of the support within a fairly tight radius of the club's ground. This has always been the case to certain extent with us - at Chiswick you had the Supporters' Club chairman and his wife living in Dagenham (the Snares) and the Treasurer and her husband in Bromley (the Warrens) with the club owner in Maidenhead, but now I suspect that it's much greater. In many ways the slow death approach is ideal as far as the RFL's concerned as it'll minimise bad publicity when the corpse is finally dragged away - all there'll be in the media are short paragraphs and their broadcasting equivalents saying variations on 'as expected London Broncos have folded'.

When a club is releasing the top end of a successful 19's team who are deemed by their peers to be the best crop through the system the alarm bells surely must be ringing.
Yes ok there may be a team playing next season, but really is there any long term view?

Patience.

We'll all find out soon enough.

Spot on sir

The club is not dead (yet) but the relationship with the fans is. Any resuscitation must also have a renewal of the fan-club relationship. Without that it will have become the soulless franchise so hated by all true sports fans. The club has survived a lot in its history but this is the biggest challenge.

We can't have a re-birth until the ground and area is finally confirmed, then that area and a surrounding radius has to be blitzed, we have to get involved with someone like Capital FM, Smooth or Magic. BBC Radio London do a great job with coverage but I'm not convinced it will bring in the people we want.
