Just hope he can behave himself down here and not be led astray by the cultural delights of the capital!

You have yourself explained that a great many U20's don't ever make the grade...that's what I meant and maybe I put it badly.
2 things here. Firstly, I was responding to a poster saying it had been reported that we had invested heavily in recruitment. Given he is our only announced signing, it is fair to speculate until we are told more. Secondly, was it my use of the word IF that gave away that I was speculating?

He also says information on ticketing will be going out this week to supporters!'"

sorry....my bad. It's just I take announcements of pending events with a pinch of salt given the 12 month build up in total secrecy to a new rental agreement and a try before you buy (and we'll pay you too) opportunity for a potential investor who doesn't invest in his other sporting club but instead expects it to be self sufficient.

6,000 fans at 20 a pop spending another tenner at every home game would deliver 2.34 million a year and coupled with potential sponsors and the sky cash would give us a pop at self sufficiency.
The Hive doesn't hold 6k, their football team averages 27% of that and their owner has a marketing team made up of an estate agent and a recruitment consultant.....yet this is a good deal for us according to Gus, so when he comments on visa applications I tend to take things with a very large lorry-load of salt!

The All Golds prop story is a non-starter. He was "Fraped" on Facebook and that "journalist" got whiff of it and published it. Bizarre. One thing I did see was this - www.uksport.gov.uk/jobs/head-phy ... e-job23782

If this part of an article is correct, and given it is a quote then I assume it is then, bar the sky money & some sponsorship, how the hell are the Broncos ever going to earn any additional income?


[iGus Mackay has also revealed that gate receipts and membership revenues plus all the income from bars will remain with Barnet FC. Gus Mackay also said " We will be offering a membership rather than a season ticket".[/i

Nowhere has it been said that the Broncos want to make money or have a clue how to do it. They are very good at losing it though. Barnet have taken a gamble and good on them!

Too difficult?

exactly what is at stake for Barnet/The Hive/Anthony K?
To be a gamble, or even a punt, there must be a consequence of it not working out....what consequence is there for Barnet/The Hive/Anthony K?

13 Extra days where they can collect 1,000-3,000 ticket receipts, together with the associated bar/food revenues which will generate about 600k at no cost to them whatsoever. In fact, as the deal has been explained(badly), Barnet/The Hive/Anthony K are being PAID to look after our admin and marketing too boot.......

This deal is a 12 month or possibly 24 month stop gap that fits the RFL agenda for a reduction in SL and does the London Broncos absolutely no favours at all......we are again paying tenants but this time without the hand picked staff of our CEO or the ticket or match-day revenue.

The emperors new clothes is a perfect analogy as to what has/is gone/going on at the club

Fair call and something I have said to GF before. I am still a fan, not a supporter. Location prevents me from going to games.

I am actually trying to book a trip home based around the last home game of the season......it's very very sad really

It still irks me that the club is run (and allowed to be run by the RFL) like an amateur set up with no planning and no thought of consequence.....basically, we are a team with a coach, trainer and kit-man playing out of a ground we rent and reliant on the generosity of 1 man.....all that is missing is a few "hand picked" staff.
