I didn’t know the new lines had been released. Perhaps I’ve missed an email.

I agree it does all look a bit of a mess. I don’t hate the old badge T-shirt, in fact I think it could be a good idea if done properly (this is rugby league so I won’t hold my breath). Now, I know David Hughes was a divisive figure and as a result of his actions, fans were lost and shed with every move. Now he’s gone, it could be a good time to re-engage with some lost fans and to try and entice them back and nostalgia is always a good way to go. A well done retro range, specifically aimed around certain periods like the 1996-1999 period could be a good seller. T-shirts incorporating the old badge or with old players, old quotes, old games (cup semi 99, Canberra etc) could be done and could be marketed well.

There are 2 reasons it has gone quiet at the Regus office in Richmond.

1. Loubser is in negotiations with a US Billionaire and as part if this, radio silence will be a precondition before we are relaunched as the London Lakers......or
2. Loubser is finding life without Dave paying his wages, a tad more realistic than he would like.

Fixtures are out in a few weeks. If London aren't in a position to garentee FULL participation in the season ahead, then i doubt anything other than the introduction of a "bye" weekend in the championship for 2025 being removed due to the even number of sides will be the big news scoop over at League Depressed.

The Championship AGM is likely to be the key date, not fixture release. That's when membership is confirmed. The league will expect London to confirm their intention / ability to fulfill 2025 prior to the membership vote.

Withdrawal after the AGM is likely to lead to a large fine - though whether there would be a club fo pay it may be a moot point.

Broncos are making an announcement at 09:00 tomorrow according to their social media. No hint as to what it's about.

We got a shirt, we got no team,

No, it was the shirt launch https://www.londonbroncosrl.com/london- ... ning-range

On the change of entity, I like the idea but do think there should be some sort of Broncos related group that can continue the works that have been carried out over the years. Things like Heritage Numbers, Hall of Fame, sponsoring the academy etc are important.

As for the shirt, I like it. The training gear doesn’t look too bad either.

You can also add a number to the shirt for free.

If anyone spotted the message by the Gamecaller on X naming someone as in advanced negotiations to buy Broncos, the named person has now denied it.

As has the guy in question. Love Gledhill’s enthusiasm but…..

I've had an idea. It's a bit of a mad one, I know. How much is advertisement space in the Financial Times and/or Australian press?

craigs list ia cheaper (allegedly)

It is a rag that more often than not tells lies.
The “company" is essentially a travel agency that sells premium packages for events. No financials available and rhe other 2 named "directors" have limited background information. Unless I am missing something, owning the London Broncos would deliver these guys nothing other than debt.....

Less than 48 hours and we will know
The league fixtures and therefore if we make the starting line…

Let's hope for Toulouse away in the summer & we are still in business for the fixture.

That is exactly what I am hoping for.

It seems to have gone very quiet. I appreciate that there might be NDA's and things going on if there is any activity regarding the sale of the club (though you would expect some rumour or mention in the RL press) but even if there isn't, what update is there? I see the incredibly regular pushing of the 2025 membership, which was a cornerstone of the club's survival for 2025 but how is that going? Have the club reached the number required? If not, how far away are they? Also, what about the "longer" term and 2026? Is it just going to be a case of the same thing in October next year where the club begs for so many memberships?

All we really know is the team will start the season. Everything else is guess work. I assume if we had new recruits we’d have promoted the fact so it will be the ones we know about plus these trialists. Perhaps like me you’ve tried to watch the training posts and see if there are any familiar faces. I’ve not seen any. They look pretty young to me- which is a worry. My gut tells me this could be long old season or a very short one but what can we do except turn up and support the side. If it’s well below the standard then I don’t know about 2026 but that could well be a moot point. Hopefully some backers will turn up.

We can but hope Santa answers the call to arms & leaves us a dozen or so decent players & a new owner with more money than sense, all neatly gift wrapped.
