£20 a pop to stand on the side of the pitch has put me off.

I'll get out there eventually this season, but I'm not in a rush after reports of those that have attended this year.

You can stand if you want. But no one needs to stand currently as there are plenty of seats along side lines and behind the sticks. Whether you think their quality is another matter. If you know one a season ticket holder you could both benefit with one if the vouchers they've all received. It'll get you in for £15.

But really is £20 too much for a game in London? Halifax have tickets at £20 and £17 in the second tier, while Castleford and Wakefield are both £21 to stand and Hull KR sell theirs at £28 and £25 for adults. In football in London the Daggers charge £21 for away fans while Wimbledon charge £17 for the terrace and £25 for the stand. London Scottish charge £25, £20. London Welsh £20 for the grandstand.

Bunch of skinflints. It costs me £40 for a peak return ticket to London in a journey time that is than a game of Rugby League. No wonder we have poor attendances if that's the attitude.

Liking that SR. Put him and willy batrhue on the park together and it would be mayhem fun to watch though I reckon. Some of our fans seem to think we should get things for nothing though.

You may think people are being tight but if we want to attract new fans then £20 pitch side is not in my opinion gonna bring them back a second time. £10 pitch side , £15 behind the sticks and £20 for a seat in the main stand seems fair to me.

That sounds a good option

Your product is worth what people are prepared to pay, no more, no less.

I am (grudgingly) prepared to pay £20 a pop, but most of my mates, my brother and a cousin of mine who used to come are not.

They wouldn't pay it at the Hive where they could sit in relative comfort, so they are not going to pay it to sit in discomfort or stand on a terrace and they're certainly not going to pay it to stand on mud/grass pitchside.

Like the idea of 10\15\20 only problem with that is you get into that bizzare siuation that we had at the stoop, tickets to sit close to the centre line cost more than those on the 20mtr, which is fine, so all you did was show yr ticket to the steward who was stood at the bottom of the stairs on the 20mtr line entrance and then walk along the back of a row of seats and sit where you want.
Now maybe at trailfinders we should go £10 to lean against the rail £12 to sit on one of the haycarts!!!!
There is enough discussion with folk not being able to go in the upstairs bit of the stand and the stewards directing folk, making them do the same for the seats behind the sticks would cause them mayhem!
Maybe 20 is a bit steep, but they are cheaper if you buy in advance are they not?

We've had 3 for £33 offer pretty much all season. Could they do something similar?

I'm a Rugby League player and fan of over 30 years. I have no dependents and a fairly decent disposable income.

My issues are that I've had a deteriorating experience at London RL throughout its different guises in the 9 years I've resided here. In that time prices have remained static while the product has in my eyes deteriorated. A result of that is I now find myself attending and participating in different events/activities that I feel provide better value or enjoyment.

I'm sure I'll get to a game or two this season, however for me I need to see some sort of improvement from the club (not necessarily on field) to return more often and perhaps returning to being a ST Holder.

These are the reasons for my lack of patronage, not being a tightwad. If you cant convince someone like myself to turn up, what hope do you have on finding new fans?

I think this is more the problem than the actual ticket price. I've been a Broncos fan since second time around at the Valley, and while the team is doing pretty well on the pitch the actual match day experience at Ealing is pretty awful to be honest. I'm also a former ST holder, but the club's much diminished circumstances, and yet another move further away across town hardly entices me to be anything other than an occasional fan - and I did used to make the effort to get to many games at Griffin Park and I didn't miss too many at the Stoop.
Cost isn't the big issue, the current home venue and match day experience is. And when I can get a ST to watch the Hammers at the Olympic Stadium for not much more than a Broncos 2nd tier RL at a West London park ....

Agreed RFE. I didn't mis many games from Stoop, Valley, Griffin Park, Stoop days but Barnet then this has killed it for me.

I can watch less than top tier rugby locally. I used to enjoy watching the stars in the opposition teams and also see how we could cope with the better teams, but what they are serving up now...... no way

Can't really dispute the sentiment of the last three offerings. I think if the Broncos hadnt moved to the Hive (closer to my home), my interest would have fizzled. But it didnt and I am so glad as I am really enjoying the here and now.

I am not entirely sure how Hindy, Rob or WQ could be pursuaded back which is a shame. On the field, this is the best TEAM I can remember, not the best individuals, but lets be under no illusions WQ we have some very very good players, and we play teams with very very good players. The games are competitive and the skills levels of a decent level.

Off the field we shouldnt be comparing apples and oranges. The halcyon Stoop days, great pre match and post match in a rugby stadium, Brentford great atmosphere. The worst Stoop days, depressing, rattling round in the ground, same as the Valley. The Hive, well its was painful. Now we are in a basic facility which pre match offers a decent pint, good conviviality and atmosphere, hospitality is very good, everything you need is there in a simple form, merchandise not bad at all; I love standing at games on the fence so perfect and the support and atmosphere is building nicely, post match again decent, players very approachable, presentations professional, coach honest appraisals.

I know its baby steps but post match music, and soon pre match junior games and kids zone, community club engagement. £10/£15 ticket in advance I find it hard to believe that is not very good value.

It would be so good to see some more 'old' faces back to join us other old stagers, and then add to this the newbies which hopefully can be attracted.
