You might get up to 2000 for the widnes game (as widnes might bring 1K, and the Novelty factor for the Dons fans as its the first game),but that would be a one-off attendance, and I suspect you will be back around 1K for the Haven game.

I also expect more widnes fans than home fans in that first game.'"
Nobody has said PL will magically do anything. It will take time and effort - as David Hughes himself notes.

IF Widnes, and that is a very BIF IF 1,000, it will be a First for Widnes for a long, long, long time!!!!

And do you think, based on the previous, Broncos will do what is needed or what it takes to get the fans in?? Will we see a well planned and thought out marketing strategy?? Or is it Hughes email...."please bring a mate".
You'll forgive me for having zero faith in the club getting this right

Widnes won’t bring 100. They’re another club on the downward spiral.

I share the majority’s legitimate concerns about the volume of L1 players we have brought in and, in particular, the volume from bottom end L1. In an ideal(ish) world Id have liked to see more experienced Championship players or top end L1 but we are where we are. Playing Devil’s advocate, a positive is that they are Coleman’s choices not any previous managers. They will know this and hopefully play for him and he can build the team and culture he wants.
The 1st three home games are important because in previous seasons they would have been (most likely) wins. We will see fairly quickly what the direction of travel is. I’m looking forward to those games. Fev Rovers less so! I think I’m washing my hair on that say.

I'd be inclined to say that the first three home games are more important this season than for a number of years.
If we struggle in those games then I fear a lot of our home games later in the season will end up like the one at home to Toulouse in 2021.

Like to see flowers on the 2 mini roundabouts near the ground. Be a health hazard trying to put them there as most people seem to go over rather than round them.

London Broncos , in my experience, have always used the Field of Dreams approach - to paraphrase, ' if you stick the posts in the ground, they will come'. Worked so far hasn't it?
Oh hang on.........

Chris Warren put in the effort during his 10 years at the club. Crowds were pretty stable during that period.
It all started to go badly wrong when Gus was installed.
