And their lies the problem, they the 200 think they should be involved in everything, when they are part of the problem

Maybe the CEO wants to understand the views of the 4800 fans who have disappeared since the Stoop rather than the usual compliant protagonists who go no matter what.

But how many of them have been invited and how many of the not welcome brigade have been invited. We put 25 years, loads of time and loads of money into the club and didn't expect anything back from it as we loved and still do love the club) only to be told not welcome when views differ. We are not the only people who have been told that since a certain member arrived at the club. However I take my hay off to him in a strange sort of way as he has everyone dancing to his tune and pulling all the strings

You don't know who has been invited, what the purpose is so how can you comment

Have you ever been to a Broncos fans forum when everyone is invited. It's chaos and embarrassing.

I have been invited to the meeting. I have been following the club for twenty five years and am still a season ticket holder.
Take from that what you will.

There is no doubt the core support has been badly eroded. I hope the club can get a better understanding from this meeting. It will be important they communicate what they learn and what they are going to do about it.

That will annoy the conspiracy theorists. Ive had season tickets for 20 plus years. Didn't get one this year due to Covid.

Forums were a shambles

Could you ask the club why they did not chase lapsed season ticket holders who did not renew.I did not buy one this year or last season but heard nothing having had a season ticket the previous 4 years.

And you should be the discussion point with the other 4000 lost fans not the 200 apologists arranging minibuses to Barrow.

I know if one lapsed ST holder who now only goes to odd games who was invited. He is exactly the demographic to be targeted as he spends a fair amount of time and cash on another SL side as well as other sports.
The issue isn't the meeting itself, but what they do with the information they get at it.
I've listed the 5 straight questions I'd ask....I look forward to reading their answers

Too late I am afraid. If they're walked, then they're lost to us as supporters until the ownership and therefore the ability to have a cohesive plan for the club changes.

I am sick (but I will never tire of) telling people that the problem is David Hughes. He, without a shadow of a doubt, means well, but he has butchered the club we all supported for decades to the extent that the source of much of the clubs fans recent ire, Monkey Boy, is now asking to meet with people to find out why they are so ed off with the club.

Hughes needs to:
declare how long he intends to stay for
declare the level of investment he is willing to commit to
step back and employ an RFL vetted and appointed General Manager to oversee the back office running of the club
Continue as Chairman, by all means, but let people with talent and ability make the decisions....

My fear is that we are Part Time inside 2 years and gone inside 5.....it's a crying shame and it was 100% preventable!

In 25 years as a season ticket holder yes went to all the forums and thought nothing was really ever gained from them but went just in case @this one may be different@

I remember asking big Mac at a forum in the cabbage patch about 2008 where he thought we'd finish...he said 1st.....i said no, really where do you see us this season and he stared at me and said first.....we finished 11th IIRC.....point being Hughes would have believed Mac.....nobody else with an ounce of common sense would have, but Hughes would have.
These gatherings only work if information is shared and acted upon....I getnthr impression that lobster and monkey don't take "direction" well

DH needs to show that while he may own the club, it will have a life beyond his tenure.

He owes it to the fans (some of whom pre-date his ownership) to communicate plans that enable the club to be more sustainable year on year (rather than less as it currently seems to be).

It may interest people to know that a couple of sports sources have now told me Monkey is consulting with at least some people experienced in turning clubs around about his plans for 2022. It appears that the fiasco of 2021 has persuaded him that perhaps others may know a bit more than him. If so, credit to him for waking up. Here's hoping he'll listen and it's not token. Shame about the damage already inflicted by the 2021'plans though.

WQ my question. Are the club aware that 25% of the Scottish Premier League is supporter owned? Those clubs receive substantial income from Trust members making monthly donations to the Trust which then part fund the club, alongside the club's commercial revenues.

One of those clubs, Hearts, is way bigger than Broncos ever will be but two, St Mirren and Motherwell, are not much bigger than Broncos once were.

It's a given this method of funding is not currently available to Broncos given they have devastated their own support base. However: -

Do they regret not working with LBSA to establish such a scheme when it may have been vtable, with David keeping control but LBSA getting equity in return for substantial funding.

If the support base recovers, and LBSA are interested, will the club investigate this funding model in the future?
