3909 was the average number of fans, 84% apparently stopped going or emigrated! You and cowgirl seem to be suggesting the way to stop the decline in those numbers is for those of us left to stop going as well, quite an odd concept to me.
It might surprise the pair of you, some of us want to watch rugby league in London, back to Mr hughes irrelevant if you like him or not, it was proven a couple of years back, at the moment no one else is rushing in to take his place, without his money we don't exist.

So basically Broncos are a zombie club neither alive nor dead.

Hughes is a serial failure as owner so other than giving yourself something to to do at the weekend what is the point of helping to prop up a club that is effectively finished as a pro sports team.

Maybe it would be best if Hughes pulled the plug at least that way there would be the possibility of AFC Broncos.

I repeat the question, as you have confirmed you are no longer a supporter of the club why do you bother posting

I class myself as a supporter.

Even if admittedly I'm in the lifeboats & you're going down in the ship with Captain Hughes.

Andover boy, that's the whole point. The doom mongers voice there displeasure which is fair enough and I can understand the frustration.
You only have to ask them the question tho, what are they or what can they do about it, answer is absolutely nothing apart from walking away, result they add to the problem and they miss out watching rugby league.
Personally I want to watch rugby league, if I had the money yep I would buy the club, I haven't and I can't.

Obviously I don't have the moolah to run a rugby club but fans banded together could hardly do worse than a bloke who has a pro sports team playing on a park pitch.

5 hours ago, you were the bloke talking about "AFC Broncos". Where's your vision, your money, your passion?

Err ... I said it was a possibility not that I was going to make it a reality.

Still deflect all the attention away from Hughes zombie club if it makes you feel better.

But do you really think he can pull off a Lazarus?

2008::- 2.6 million in income and 1.3 million from Hughes to prop us up. We played in SL, in a state of the art rugby facility and were watched by close to 4,000 a game.
2016::- 300,000 in income and 1.3 million from Hughes to prop us up. We'll play in a wedding venue, watched by 400 if we're lucky.

Hughes has destroyed the club...utterly. It's not a viable concern and never will be again, because we don't have the facilities to generate the revenue needed to replace Hughes. It's not as easy as saying "where's your money" because nobody with any common sense will invest in what he has left of the club.....If I won Euro Lotto I'd invest in the Skolars.....the Broncos brand is toxic....he has poisoned it.
His attitude has alienated other chairmen...he tries to tell them how they should run their clubs.....he even had a pop at Wigan.

Certifiable.....regardless of the money wasted is a tax exemption or not!
