| How about the option to pay a premium on my season ticket to pay off Rob Powell.

| Quote: Dave Lister "Like what?
So you think that halving our number of season ticket holders would be a positive move and the club would suddenly turn things around with no bugger putting any money into the club?
While poster X is sitting at home "ahhh, I feel much better now, the club must be kicking themselves over this".
"Oh the club have folded, my plan didn't work, never mind, I'll go and play cricket instead".'"
nice, however in the real world the only simple way the club can grow it's supporter base is via the existing fans, and not many would recommend this club in it's current guise to any mates, in the hope of retention, as opposed to the "come and watch one good game with Wigan coming down and slaughtering us".
So therefore if a reasonable % of the clubs ST holders indicate dissatisfaction with the clubs current direction, including coaching staff, they should be able to surmise that there is unlikely to be any significant growth in ST #'s next season.
Most of us come from the generation of Broncos supporters who pretty much knew they would get beat in most circumstances by the top 4/5 teams, and even on occasion get a good hiding from one of them, but would expect the guys to at least be ready to play their hearts out and on those blue moon occasions turn a Saints or Wigan over and at least be competitive against clubs of a similar nature to ourselves. For me that's all I want now, not the knowledge we will ship 40+ points every match, have the worst away record since Ronnie Kray got sent down, and have a coach whose main crime in my book, is not showing the passion that these defeats should mean to him as much as they do to us. I do not want platitudes, I want paint coming off the walls..................give me that & I continue to give you money, easy deal!

| If Powell is there you can write me off for next season.
Ive only been a season ticket for twelve years but have decided
after last and this years debacle that enough is enough,
Ive only ever expected the bare minimum when it comes to Londons
Super League Club. A lowly play off place is all I would ever expect but
that is clearly far and beyond what we are capable of.
Im fed up of seeing us trounced week in and week out and having a four hour
round trip to witness such dross. Its cost me 70 hours annual leave so far.
Needless to say it wont cost me an hour more..
I will renew my Skolars season ticket as ever and will take in my local amateur
club Eastern Rhinos along with visits as ever to Hemel and St Albans, but any
commitment to the Broncos will depend on seeing the back of Powell.

| I dont care if it makes me disloyal. Im not spending my money travelling 60 miles each way to watch a team coached by Powell. If Hughes cant be bothered to respect the fans and sort the problem i cant be bothered to travel to home games. Hes had enough time and loyalty from me while we get spanked every week.

| Homer....you missed out a couple of vital options
1. Only if they move closer to Holland
2. Only if they write me and my dad a letter because their emails get caught in my spam filter..
3. Only if my dad lets me.

| I'm with Listy. As long as there is a SL club in London, I will be a ST holder (not sure whether that's a or a ).
I simply will not give up on London no matter how bad they are.....a cross I have to bear.

As I was never a ST holder, I can't comment on renewals, but I would still attend games regardless of the results if I was still in London.....just so long as they were played IN London!
It's one of those things....when a club gets under your skin, there's no fighting it!

| That's it Gutters. To know whether a club is really "under your skin" ask yourself whether you would go to a friends wedding on CC final day if Broncos were in the final. I wouldn't go to the wedding (might drag meself to the do after) That probably makes me mad or a bad friend.
We were sent a wedding invite for CC final day some 9 months before the wedding. Thus, you are on a very sticky wicket. We felt we had to say "yes," but we stewed for a few months before London obliged and got knocked out the cup! Phew, how would we tell them we couldn't go to the wedding? Must be very difficult when you support a team that actually gets to finals!
Luckily, we don't have that problem!

| I love Listy's passion and agree with his sentiment.
Anyway I think I'd renew as loyalty can make you blind, even to the coaching, marketing and results of a club. But it's easy for me to say that as I haven't spent the last 13 seasons putting up with what you lot have.
I also love Listy's archetypal yorkshireman way of delivering the message that's funny. "I know what I like, and I like what I bludy well say, and if you don't then bugger off"
Château de Chasselas Listy?

| I'm dreading the Wigan game and have been since the last spanking we got at home. That shouldn't be the case!

| My suspicion is that the club will try to disguise Powell's involvement and role next season.
This may be done via putting a senior sounding position above him i.e. Director of
Rugby League or giving him a prestigious sounding job title which no one can fathom as to what its true remit is like Phil Bailey.
For the avoidance of doubt, I will not be prepared to accept Powell being involved with the first team whether disguised or not. A Season Ticket is almost a symbolic vote and I will not vote YES. We have been betrayed in 2011 and 2012 and owe nothing and there will need to be signs of goodwill - a full suite of new coaches at minimum.
<Sighs> Why do I think I will still be there regardless
