Are you part of a cult where mind altering substances are widely used ? I only ask as your posts become stranger by the day.

Says the bloke who is happy to follow a club with not much of a stadium, precious few toilets, no programmes & Bob/no hope.

Like I said a Bizarro club for the bizarrest fans in rugby league.

Ground was what you might expect from a small Championship union side. Pleasantly surprised not too be charged for parking having waved ST for entry but then again it was an icy mud bath being provided.

Bar was busy and service OK. Wasn't drinking so didn't spot if they had any decent beer.

Seating had decent view and entry seemed well stewarded. Not a lot of space in and around the seat though.

Despite the size of the crowd there was a reasonable atmosphere as everyone was packed in the one stand.

How can we not have a programme?! I've been to football matches where the crowd doesn't even reach triple figures before and they've still managed to produce one.

What's the final straw for me is that people aren't even all that bothered by the sheer amateurism of not issuing a programme.

I used to think that something could be salvaged from the wreckage of the Broncos.

Not any more.

By that logic, at least 50% of UK Rugby League fans are "bizarre" for supporting their clubs and enjoying the sport? You seem like the archetypal Man Utd fan, who is interested in nothing other than success.

Broncos aren't really a club though.

They're a rich man's folly/tax dodge (delete as appropriate).

Skolars are a club.

They play in an actual stadium & have proper sponsors that people have heard of.

I bet they even hand over some money too.

Unlike in Bizarro World where sponsorship means the exact opposite.

Totally Agree with Sarf Essex Taff Meister, was not brilliant, but as expected,

The ground will not frighten any team coming down, I was told that we had sold the most ST ever, so why was the crowd only 653/658/666, tho will be bigger for Bradford/Leigh and if we have a good season etc,
just hate seeing the club like this, just want better,

On the after speeches etc, thought was rushed and not enough content, Hendo was good, but thought it would be nice to also welcome any 1st timers as well, and there was a few, but an announcement should also have been made to move over to other building etc for the extras, we even had a group of Dutch footie fans,

We are, where we are, WE, ALL, cannot do anything about it, apart from just making the match day experience, better for ourselves and friends & guests etc, it's not ideal, but that's reality,

The new Broncos monthly magazine, is produced by RAN publishing, they do Catalans programmes and ALSO did Broncos last year, so any ideas, just give them a email, in time this will change throughout season,

They are Good RL people at RAN, go get yourself a copy of the members booklet from Catalans this year, that is a great piece of work and can also help a good cause, for a certain RL reporter who was attacked last year in London,

Thanks for the review Orient- very balanced

Do you really believe this ? If you do, you more naive than I ever thought.

Absolutely - and this is what CN doesn't get.

Obviously I haven't been yet but with some of the comments on here and looking at the Video of the highlights the ground does seem awfully Micky Mouse! I guess I might find it in myself to get along but can't say it will be with too much enthusiasm.

Still looking forward to Headingley on Sunday night and the Brutus a week on Saturday!

You aren't by any chance on the Sunday morning train from Kings Cross to Leeds are you Paddock?

MMmmm, not sure about the You Tube video being a negative Paddock, at the Hive our You Tube vids' look awfull, two drab and grey, empty terraces and a sp populated far end with what appears to be zero atmosphere.

Whereas the first Video of Ealing, looked, well, ... better!

Not as modern or smart for sure, but just better! I can only put it down to 600+ people looking completely lost in a 6000+ modern, "modula" arena, but looking quite at home in a ramshackle 2-3000 set-up.

Just an impression, which I admit may well be wrong, but the 600+ against Swinton, at Ealing looked better than even the Bradford and Leigh atmosphere's at the Hive.
