| Quote Cowgirl Nostalgist="Cowgirl Nostalgist"So basically Broncos are a zombie club neither alive nor dead.
Hughes is a serial failure as owner so other than giving yourself something to to do at the weekend what is the point of helping to prop up a club that is effectively finished as a pro sports team.
Maybe it would be best if Hughes pulled the plug at least that way there would be the possibility of AFC Broncos.'"
Backed by whom? You? Come on son, let's see your money, your team and your stadium

| Andover boy, that's the whole point. The doom mongers voice there displeasure which is fair enough and I can understand the frustration.
You only have to ask them the question tho, what are they or what can they do about it, answer is absolutely nothing apart from walking away, result they add to the problem and they miss out watching rugby league.
Personally I want to watch rugby league, if I had the money yep I would buy the club, I haven't and I can't.

Obviously I don't have the moolah to run a rugby club but fans banded together could hardly do worse than a bloke who has a pro sports team playing on a park pitch.

5 hours ago, you were the bloke talking about "AFC Broncos". Where's your vision, your money, your passion?

| Err ... I said it was a possibility not that I was going to make it a reality.
Still deflect all the attention away from Hughes zombie club if it makes you feel better.
But do you really think he can pull off a Lazarus?

2008::- 2.6 million in income and 1.3 million from Hughes to prop us up. We played in SL, in a state of the art rugby facility and were watched by close to 4,000 a game.
2016::- 300,000 in income and 1.3 million from Hughes to prop us up. We'll play in a wedding venue, watched by 400 if we're lucky.
Hughes has destroyed the club...utterly. It's not a viable concern and never will be again, because we don't have the facilities to generate the revenue needed to replace Hughes. It's not as easy as saying "where's your money" because nobody with any common sense will invest in what he has left of the club.....If I won Euro Lotto I'd invest in the Skolars.....the Broncos brand is toxic....he has poisoned it.
His attitude has alienated other chairmen...he tries to tell them how they should run their clubs.....he even had a pop at Wigan.
Certifiable.....regardless of the money wasted is a tax exemption or not!

| Apologies for being thick here, but am I right in thinking that neither The Changing Man and Cowgirl Nostalgist that have either the ideas nor the wherewithal to improve matters at the Broncos?

Accepted!
I have plenty of solutions that may or may not help the club grow and prosper as part of the community. I also [u HAD [/uplenty of solutions that would have negated the need to ever move from the Stoop and as those were ignored by the club, even after the RFL told them to listen, I'm not inclined to offer any advice to the 2 guys charged with managing Hughes investment for the next 3 seasons.
Needless to say, given the advert for a tele-sales person to sell networking events that will be managed by the company owned by our commercial manager, I don't see the massed ranks of 3,200+ Broncos supporters lost to Hughes returning. The networking events are also used to identify potential shirt sponsors.....an activity handled by ANOTHER of the companies owned by our Commercial Manager....and the nice membership packs some received recently, guess who owns the design and print consultancy that handled that? The Hughes Gravy train is leaving the station....ALL ABOARD!!
