Quote: Bostwick "If you go back as I do to the early days at Charlton, there were vouchers in The Sun giving entry for Five Pounds. I got quite a few to go on the back of that and they kept going until we moved to The Stoop. There was also the promotion which gave away a Ford Fiesta, one person a game got picked out and at the end of the season there was a thing where each pulled out a key and if it opened the door they were a winner. That got a few in.
We do not seem to have put that much effort in since those days.'"


I'm of a similar vintage, it would be good to see something, anything along these lines.
As well as local newspapers there's the Standard and the Metro ( formerly a London sponsor), surely the club could put something together even if only for this game?

Not sure why everyone is getting so excited about this game, it's a challenge cup game against an unproven NL1 side.
As for the 1500 that turned up at skolars to see "a historic" game and suggesting it would be embarrassing if broncos didn't match it, why? A record crowd at skolars fine, excellent, I think it's great for the game down here but what will the average gate be for the rest of the season at new river?
Broncos 2 home games so far are probably our biggest of the season and I doubt we will come anywhere near until the 8s.
I don't care who owns the club? I don't care who is in the back office! All I am interested in is what happens on a match day when those 13 blokes on either side go head to head. Why would I stop watching the sport I love just because a rich bloke wants to keep us afloat for his own pleasure, it gives me a rugby league team to watch.
But it's good to see lapsed fans coming back. Maybe as fans we should just concentrate on the 80 minutes on the park.

Micky, at the risk of starting you off, maybe for some of us it's more than just the 80 minutes on the park - if we don't get the off pitch stuff right maybe we won't have a club to watch for 80 minutes every fortnight ( or week depending on your level of support).
David Hughes won't be around forever.

Rob you are right. But it's a discussion we have had loads over the past, we are fans! Not ownersI personally can't see what anyone achieves by walking away, all it means is you don't get to watch the game you enjoy. Reality is unless you have a few million tucked away you have very little power to change anything.
We are a small club player a minor sport, for the foreseeable future we are reliant on the Mr Hughes of this world.
I for one am gonna enjoy it while it's around. Can't see the point of walking away.

The Toronto game is hugely marketable. New club, SL standard players, big novelty value. Are the club making any effort here? I haven't seen it. Im taking 3 people on the back of mentioning it. Should be a cracking game and under floodlights.

It really would not take a lot of effort to email the existing database and that of Ealing RUFC to promote this game. It would not be more than a hours work.

I was looking at the floodlights last sunday thinking they looked inadequate!

Think that using the Ealing contacts might cause problems with the Data Protection Act to be honest. The lack of effort on the London database is rather more puzzling.

Haven't received a single email from the club since the 2016 season. Bizarre.

Colly, why do you need an e mail? Surely you know when the game is.
Seriously though am a bit puzzled why we would e mail the Ealing ru fans, they are union fans, a bit like harlequin fans I would suggest that they have no interest in our game, bit like most of us have no interest in there's.

Because if it's legal it may just trigger a few to attend, and hopefully return, for basically zero cost. It's very obvious this club is not even close to self sufficient at the moment. Frankly I don't understand why they wouldn't take any free steps they can to try and boost the fan base and for someone who isn't from a RL background Toronto is more marketable than Dewsbury - unfortunately given the division we are in.

Alternatively we can all sit around patting ourselves on the back about how loyal we all are as games are watched only by the 500 or so who care enough to check when matches are proactively as the club slides into semi pro status - where current gates probably are viable but London would find it difficult to recruit. (Why live in Yorkshire and play for London you have options? Look at the likes of Oxford, at the end of every season they lose their best northern based lads to their local clubs.) Championship One could then be calling, assuming the club survives.

IIRC the Skolars were in touch with Wolfpack, the Canadian Embassy and Maple Leaf Pub, etc, promoting their game. Apparently several hundred curious Canucks turned up. Have the Broncos done anything similar?
