The All Golds prop story is a non-starter. He was "Fraped" on Facebook and that "journalist" got whiff of it and published it. Bizarre. One thing I did see was this - www.uksport.gov.uk/jobs/head-phy ... e-job23782

If this part of an article is correct, and given it is a quote then I assume it is then, bar the sky money & some sponsorship, how the hell are the Broncos ever going to earn any additional income?


[iGus Mackay has also revealed that gate receipts and membership revenues plus all the income from bars will remain with Barnet FC. Gus Mackay also said " We will be offering a membership rather than a season ticket".[/i

Nowhere has it been said that the Broncos want to make money or have a clue how to do it. They are very good at losing it though. Barnet have taken a gamble and good on them!

Too difficult?

exactly what is at stake for Barnet/The Hive/Anthony K?
To be a gamble, or even a punt, there must be a consequence of it not working out....what consequence is there for Barnet/The Hive/Anthony K?

13 Extra days where they can collect 1,000-3,000 ticket receipts, together with the associated bar/food revenues which will generate about 600k at no cost to them whatsoever. In fact, as the deal has been explained(badly), Barnet/The Hive/Anthony K are being PAID to look after our admin and marketing too boot.......

This deal is a 12 month or possibly 24 month stop gap that fits the RFL agenda for a reduction in SL and does the London Broncos absolutely no favours at all......we are again paying tenants but this time without the hand picked staff of our CEO or the ticket or match-day revenue.

The emperors new clothes is a perfect analogy as to what has/is gone/going on at the club

Fair call and something I have said to GF before. I am still a fan, not a supporter. Location prevents me from going to games.

I am actually trying to book a trip home based around the last home game of the season......it's very very sad really

It still irks me that the club is run (and allowed to be run by the RFL) like an amateur set up with no planning and no thought of consequence.....basically, we are a team with a coach, trainer and kit-man playing out of a ground we rent and reliant on the generosity of 1 man.....all that is missing is a few "hand picked" staff.

Is Gus funding your trip GF!

Well I come back from Oz on Saturday and yes we have had Xmas and the New Year while I have been away but the silence is deafening. Let's hope for some news either by the weekend or early next week or my support will not be in evidence this year.

I think the club is correct in not announcing signings until they actually have their visas. I know fans are keen to see what sort of team we will have but there are plenty on here who will jump on the club as being incompetent if they screw up just trying to pacify fans who are demanding to be told information which may turn out to be false. PC Plum has allready given an indication of the 'irons in the fire. Much as as im concerned about the quality of players we will get im sure we will have the numbers on the pitch. A few clubs have allready indicated a willingness to loan a few players which may be dependant on what players we can first sign from down under.

I hope someone is clued up on how many overseas players we are allowed this time around (and who qualifies as overseas), we do not want a repeat of the Jarrad Hickey farce in 2012

Gus TWICE promised me that he would post me 2 replica shirts. Either there is a nattily dressed NZ Post employee sporting both the home and away shirts from 2012, sans sponsors, or he forgot, despite saying he would send them TWICE.
I hope he reads this and is suitably ashamed for promising these items to me TWICE and makes good on his DOUBLE promise, but in reality, I doubt his budget for 2014 will run to a couple of Business Class flights to Blighty.

Bearing in mind what a poster on here has allready posted about the RFL using BT's broadcasting ambitions as a lever in their negotiations with Sky for the next RL broadcasting deal i am begining to wonder if the clubs game plan is to try and be competitive on as little money as DH can afford now in the hope that the new TV deal will make us financially viable. It is the competition in Oz that has got them their big money lets face it.

Hmmm....AFL and NRL are the 2 big players in OZ, RL/Union are nowhere near the top sport in the UK....not even on the same page.
As for becoming even more reliant on TV cash.....that is not a sustainable business model! FANS = revenue & sponsors = MORE FANS = more revenue and bigger sponsors.....
