What about as you are retired and want London to succeed why dont you offer your services to Hughes for a deal.What about he rents you a nice flat In Wimbledon for a year, business class flights and he pays you a fee if you hit your averages for the year?
Leeds figures posted this year were £2.5 million for ticket sales and memberships.London would be ecstatic with half that figure.
Offer 5000 season tickets at £175. 12 home games( average away fans 400 at £20).You are looking at nearly a million there.That is without walk ups for home fans.

Not tonight, eh? we celebrate the magnificent win and the return to Super league.
We worry about the future in a day or two when our hangover has gone, OK?
Let us just have one night to celebrate, we’ve had precious few lately. Certainly not since Toronto

Congratulations!

IMG have talked a good game (quietly) up to now and I am hopeful of realising their broader vision. I think a lot of people get caught up in thinking IMG are the arbiters of the game. But they are a partner and ultimately control will rest with the RFL who have often talked us up, but failed when it's come to setting the conditions to allow us to thrive as an expansion area, particularly in recent years.

I remember posting a few months back on the thread about Plough Lane/matchday experience/finances etc and saying then that Plough Lane was the facility we needed in 3-4 seasons time. It's worth remembering too that in the initial discussions around our use of the stadium, promotion back to SL potentially had us paying £500,000 a season for the privilege. Not sure whether that is still the case or not, but I guess we are going to get a good look at whether Wimbledon is the successful strategic draw Hughes thinks it must be!

Will Hughes put his hand in his pocket again now we are back in the big league? Yes, probably to an extent and in the short term he has very little choice otherwise, unless we see substantial investment from a new party, or an additional 4000 season ticket holders sign up between now and February. I laugh at some of the 'pundits' and RL talking heads out there, who are calling for a Leigh 2.0 from us next season. I think there is a lack of broader awareness of just how close to ground zero we are going to be starting from again, arguably more so than 2018.

Don't get me wrong, I am very happy and very excited not just about next season, but the opportunity this presents to potentially secure the clubs longer term future at the top level. I just hope we make best of it, because we could not have asked for it to be served up any better.

Who would have expected this after the way we started the season !! A few good signings (including a coach) have made all the difference. Credit to the team.

Management, however, is not up to SL standard and things will need to change significantly. We need new financial backing and a new CEO if we are going to make a success of this unexpected opportunity. Building the crowd for next season needs to start right now on the back of the publicity of this success. Season tickets are on sale so should be pushed hard but the club need to come clean about when and where games will be played. The aim should be for Broncos to be become every Northern exile's second (if not first) team.

Don't want to rain on anyone's parade but I think you're in for a bit of a shock to be honest if that's what you think about the impact of the IMG scoring system. This was a magnificent acheivement from Mike Eccles and the London squad and Broncos fans should be very proud, but the IMG scoring system was never going to do this year's promoted club (or indeed any team that has played in the Championship recently) any favours. London will score highly on the catchment area aspect, but not many other areas.

Just as long as we don't go overboard on the animal print thing, eh?

I think indicative IMG ratings will be published soon. We should expect a boost in terms of performance score assuming the 0.25 point championship winning bonus goes to playoff winners as opposed to the league leaders.

Well done! I think every game being on sky sports next year will be a big help for you to boost crowds, if neutrals in London see it, like what they see, they may be inclined to come along. Good luck for next season in super League! Missed my trips down to watch London(last came down to the stoop during the Quins RL era!)

Yes, correct on both counts. The 0.25 points will partly mitigate the impact of last year's 23rd overall position which will pull London down a lot in the overall performance rankings.There are lots of scoring areas where you'd think London will struggle - for instance after averaging crowds of just over 1,000 for the last 2 seasons it would take average crowds of nearly 7,000 to get London up above the lowest scoring threshold of 3,00 averages.

With Hughes quoted on the BBC website article saying he "hopes we get more fans" it doesn't sound like there is any thought out plan to achieve that goal as yet!!
