| The problem is that the DH/GM regime ran the club into the ground and unless there is a new regime with new ideas it will go nowhere and no-one will want to watch. From what I here there will probably be a Bronco team at the Hive next season.

Culture and Values used to be important ingredients in the make up of London broncos......nobody is deserting anything young Michael....but some are questioning the values and culture at the club.

| Values and culture, interesting comment, the club is being run poorly I agree does this mean the values are in doubt, unlike some other clubs in sl we have never been caught cheating the rules imposed by the sports governing body, when was last time we overspent on salary cap
I dont think values are an issue, culture maybe.

| I'm not sure I'll renew my season tickets if we're at The Hive, simply because it's not so great for me to get to. I could see myself going to some games though. I think the danger is that without a season ticket I'm less inclined to turn up if we produce the same sort of utter drivel we've produced for the last 2 years or so. There have been games over the last few years where all that's been on offer is the slapstick comedy value of our technical weaknesses. Having said that there have been the odd games where we've made a fist of it, and there have been some games I've genuinely enjoyed.
I actually enjoyed our little sojourn to Esher RFC because it was a bit of nostalgic throwback to pre-SL RL, it was a chilly evening and we were all packed together in a little wooden stand, I could smell the wintergreen, they had a proper bbq stall run by the club rather than the usual posh burgers for £10 a pop, and we were really unlucky not to get a win. It was like travelling back 30 years.

| Having just looked online, it would take me approximately an hour and a half to get to Barnet. Knowing what sort of Rugby was offered up as entertainment in the past three-five years, a three hour round trip to watch a side like that appeals little to me.
London Broncos are not my first club, nor are the London Skolars but the most local sides to me. As a fan of Rugby League and someone who is keen to see a game of Rugby League, I tend to go when I can. With the Broncos spending the last few years in Twickenham and offering up a dire attempt at playing the game, I've stayed away because of what is offered up and due to the fact that after a week at work, I'd be spending another four hours on a train to watch the Broncos get tonked. The Skolars on the other hand are an hour from home and although the standard of the games isn't Super League standard, I get to see two sides putting in a performance.
I know that my issue is partly down to travel but wherever the club lay their tent will not suit everyone due to the spread of people and lack of clubs but I would be prepared to travel to Barnet/Leyton/Twickenham (not Gillingham though) a few times a year if the standard offered by the Broncos was half decent.

| I really worry about the standard of player we will end up with now. Our fans will not come to watch more games of their team being smashed every week let alone attract new ones.

we are currently begging....sorry, negotiating for exemption from the Overseas quote and relegation.......that is a cultural thing, as is the total demolition of the lines of direct communication between the club and its fans.
Fans used to consider themselves an integral part of the club and in my opinion, rightly so......the cutting of these ties has contributed to the decline in match day attendances....in 2004 we achieved 3 more comp points than this year with 1 more game but still averaged 3,500.....losing is a ty experience for the fans, but at least we were losing TOGETHER!

| It seems as though many see watching the Broncos as they do visiting their Great Aunt Hilda at Christmas, it's totally , a painful few hours but they feel as though they must do it.
The fan experience is a big thing for 2014. If there is a 2014.

| I'm still relatively new to League and no way could I give up on the club. I understand what you are all saying about how it was different before, but I wasn't around then so the only way is up for me!
Plus The Hive is only an hour rather than 90mins.

| What values have the club got if they want to be exempt from the rules which govern the rest of SL relating to relegation and number of overseas players? To me such a move if it happens destroys any credibility, not only of LB but of the RFL in allowing such a rumoured rule to exist. What would the future look like if other clubs wanted to have the same exemption? In my opinion all common sense of fair play goes out of the window and I would feel very uncomfortable supporting such a club seeking this path. As it is the bond between club and supporter has been widening for the last couple of years and given this is part of management prerogative to take this action, then so be it, why should I still offer my full unfettered support? To me it is like my local pub putting up shutters, clearing out customers and offering poor service and drinks. If this was to happen I would go find another pub, one which valued my custom, something which LB have not done for a long time.
I would rather LB stepped down and rebuild.
