| I used to be a casual fan, loved going down and watching a game but last season it started to become a chore, tried a few games this season and i gave up, it's neither entertaining or worth the effort.
Soulless crowd spread out over 3 stands, useless bar staff, god knows what it's like in a packed Quins RU game, if they could put enough effort in and make the games competitive then they'll drag the casual fan back.

On second thoughts...not only could I not do a worse job, I would do a far better job.........I don't think it, I KNOW IT.
If you're going to be fed up....please explain why it's me you're fed up with and not the current management at the club?
re they doing a "splendid job"?
Have crowds gone up?
Have they stocked enough goods in the shop to meet demands?
Have they arranged OTR games after consultation with the 890 odd season ticket holders?
Have they attracted major brans sponsors?
Are there investors forming an orderly line to take over from David Hughes?
Was the gate on Sunday not an embarrassment?
F()cking hell.......652 roll up for a game and you're fed up with fans caring?
June 9th......let's see what they can muster for the visit of Widnes.....I am sure you'll be even more fed up when you have to travel to Tottenham to catch some decent RL once the Broncos have folded....

651! I bought my ticket at the previous game, tucked it inside my season ticket booklet, then didn't take the booklet with me to the game because I didn't need it Still, £15 more on the receipts

1649_1338292262.jpg I have followed the LONDON CLUB since I was in my teensl even though born in St Helens and still live nearby and went to the first game at Fulham, also Big West Ham Supporter:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_1649.jpg |

Your frustrated! we all are, but you make it sound so easy, but after spending some time at Warrington when they were at Wilderspool it is not as easy as many think to run any club.
Many of us who support London Broncos have done marketing, so we all have ideas but they cost money, I was always used to never being on a shoe string with budgets in radio, but however we go on about it and thread after thread is started we do not know all the circumstances.
I am grateful we still have a super league club in London and like many others I will do anything I can to ensure it continues but it is not so easy as it is often made out to be writing on a forum.

| While I am fed up with the team not performing, I'm finding the negativity in the forum more fed-up-make-able. We won a game; we won by 70 points. Maybe the team will keep the success going.
There's some people in this forum who believe they can do a better job than the current owners. I would respectfully point out that DH knows enough about running a business to have £1.5 million a year to spend on his hobby. I have my own business, but I haven't had that level of success. I don't feel I should be telling him what to do when he seems to be able to run a business far better than I. I don't know the situation of those complaining and whether they have a business track record similar to DH. If they have, then please do invest in the company and implement their ideas.
As fans, we have every right to complain if the shop isn't stocked. We have the right to complain about the team's performance, the price of tickets, OTR games and the quality of the pies. We can complain about the "product" but behind the scenes stuff is really up to the owners.

| Some of up take our head out of the sand from time to time. That said, I have given up participanting in any discussions on the topic, its pointless speculating what might be done while the clowns that are currently running our club are killing it. I look forward to congratulating them on their success at the end of the season and I bet there are still posters on here who are still in denial.

| And I assume that those who are throwing a wobbly at the idea of someone on here claiming they could do a better job running the club, are similarly critical of those on here who have blasted Powell and dared to question any of the team performances. After all, Powell is far more qualified than any of us. Bow down.

With respect to Dave Hughes for all the money he pours into this black hole that is this club, he knows next to nothing about running a business. He's an oil and gas trader.

Name me many owners of Super League clubs who know anything about running a business, that is what you employ people for, like a CEO!

I was replying to the poster who suggested Hughes knows all he needs to about running this business.

I think you and I need to get hold of some of those positivity pills.
You know, the ones RP must take prior to writing those matchday programme notes.

| Oh come on your can't knock Powell after all his after match speeches are an inspiration, (who to I don't know but he spouts the words of good job done and getting better etc. etc.) and you have to praise the guy for his determination and confidence - well he does think he is doing a good job or should that read you have to praise the guy for his arrogance and stupidity - see I could do his job I am as confused as he is. TW15 we are not at all negative on here in fact I would say we are pretty confident bunch - we are all pretty confident we can do a better job

simpsons/017.jpg Welcome Quins Kitties born 02.04.09 -
Purdo - Determined, loveable with a "can-do" attitude. A born leader.
Louie - Big, white and fluffy. A very noisy prop forward.
Harley- Cute and gorgeous (just like our no.9) Well, I couldn't call her Chad, could I?
Update on Quins Mogs :-
Purdo - deffo leader amongst Mogs. The Capo.
Louie - turned out to be more like Louie Spence than LMS. Re-named Judas.
Harley - Cute but not as gorgeous as our no.9.
Oh well, at least I haven't got a Willy.:simpsons/017.jpg |
|
| Oh come on, I'm not having it that any bugga on here is a better coach than RP...unless you've all got the required qualifications? He may well be too young for a head coach role, but none of you idiots would be able to do any better.
As regards to his after match speeches, what do you expect him to say...we're a load of old tosh... may as well write the season off... Gowers useless...youngsters aren't up to it.. .the Londoners ain't no good? If he did that, everyone would still be knocking him.
Just think, it may not be his fault that he was given the top job too early...it is other peoples decisions that have put him there. (and may very well be to his long term detriment).
