| There were a lot of factors which meant many set off and turned back, low away support, and some prefered to stay home and watch other major sports on TV rather than risk being seriously disappointed by another performance as we had at Hull.
Our fan base consists of various degrees of loyalty. When you get past the hardcore there are many who enjoy the game but expect to see their team compete or they will not bother. We need a good win to convince these fans. They came to see us play Saints and seemed happy but the team let them down badly following that. Unfortunate really Hull was on TV where they could see how bad it was. Remember we lost a lot of these people with the thrashings we got last season. This was supposed to be the new dawn!?

The rebrand is the last spin of the dice. If we can't grow crowds over next 2 seasons then we don't deserve a franchise.

What's saying that the RFL/Sky may assist with the ground move before the end of two seasons? even after this season.

Even if they did, do you think that would grow crowds ? The evidence of the past would suggest it would make no difference.

| giants scorpio as a northern bloke based down here, and having followed the bronco's, quins, what over for the last 10 ish years, please accept my apology for the rude idiotic comment from Listy!
There are lots of reasons why we have such a poor away support, mainly due to finances and a lot to do with Fri night kick off, even sunday is rubbish, worse days to travel the M1 M5/M6 when you have work fri and Mon
At least you lot brought a couple of coach loads, I think last time we took a coach anywhere it broke down and they missed the game
Its our home support we need to worry about and not rely on away supporters and insulting those that do make the effort.
RL has always been a friendly sport where you can sit side by side with supporters of the other team, comment like cretin from Listy do nothing to foster that at London
FWIW I used to travel 100miles each way to home games, its changed a bit now and a little closer but public transport is not viable for me, but i always get there when i want

All I am saying is this could be the last throw of the dice! or do we play out the last two seasons at The Stoop, that is if the owners allow/want us & charge us a rent worth staying. It always disappoints me that David Hughes is often blamed for the situation we are in, without David we would not be here now anyway, do people seriously think he wants to throw his own savings away? it is always a dream of mine to be able to invest in the club in a major way, but not to just burn money! Some people may knock Gold & Sullivan at my footie team West Ham, but they are trying to run a tight ship, offers like kids for free on matches we would not sell out, not giving players stupid wages like the Icelandic owners did, many Premiership teams would like to have the 30,000 plus we attract regular.
First all I want to see from The London Broncos is to get a winning mentality, even if it is not attractive ruby at first. I was not happy when West Ham brought in Big Sam as manager, but his boring football may and should get us promoted, that is what counts. We need to be at least half way up the Super League and then put the money into marketing to bring in crowds to see a winning team that can complete.

| Quote: The Chronicler of Chiswic "I'm having the heretical thought that the problem is David Hughes.'"
Thank God for that...I thought I was the only one who had these thoughts.....and I have had them since Ian Lenegan went to Wigan.
Firstly, I applaud and thank Mr Hughes for continuing to ensure that I have a club to support....there is no doubt that without his tireless and unshakable committment to the club and the game itself in the south, we would all be Skolars fans, but I have to say that I would much rather the club blood 3 more youngsters in the squad and take the salaries of 3 players such as Karl, Howell and Randall (who apparently have done nothing in the first 4 games to point to them being game changers) and spend it on Marketing and Promotion.
I have no evidence that Mr Hughes prevents marketing spend, or simply refuses to allocate sufficient budget for a decent campaign, but I have to say that since we moved to TW2 in 2006, we have had 4 CEO's, 3 Commercial Managers and 2 Marketing Managers and nothing has changed......during which time there has been 1 constant at the club.
To quote the Stranglers:
"Something's happening and it's happening right now
You're too blind to see it
Something's happening and it's happening right now
Ain't got time to wait
I said something better change"

| The North London derby being played at the same time, the problems with public transport getting to Twickenham and the team's 0% record this season are never going to help to push the attendance above the 2000 mark.

Sorry, but that is a set of excuses worthy of a 5yr old...all that was missing was "the dog ate my ticket"
