London Broncos RIP

Quote: daftdad "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.'"

Spot on sir
