So DH leave and stop paying the bills? The club will not survive without someone paying the bills simple.
So your suggestion is shut the club down?
Skolars are part time and play in the 3rd tier of the game, not a massive success in my mind

By the way the reason the folk walked away is nothing to do with who owns the club, it's because we kept losing, that's generally what happens in sport

JESUS WEPT :WALL: HOW MANY TIMES????? £20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000. The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover. There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them. :BEAT::d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_76030.jpg

GF its not become a cemetery because solely you have left, lets not for get the 3000 fans you quoted who have walked away, plus the 2nd tier of rugby doesn't have the headlines to discuss like SL does. I suspect all have contributed.

Someone has an obvious hidden agenda. I find it quite bemusing how someone would rather see a Club go to the wall for the sake of the bill payer keeping it going. Very strange.

Have to agree with you atomic. Very odd approach. Luckily it's not a unit verbal view in sport over here otherwise there would be very few sports teams in existence, I don't know that many that cope without help from somebody with deep pockets

WQ.....I have followed the club, albeit cheaply for 15 or so years and if I were still living in London I would still be dodging paying for tickets where possible and going to games. I started at Griffin Park where I lived not 4o ft from the ground and I now own a flat in Hanwell about a click away from tailfinders, so it's like I'm stalking the club...or them me. I want a strong broncos in a strong SL....Hughes offers neither......3,000 fewer fans is terrible if you're Leeds RLFC...It's terminal if you're London Broncos RLFC.......yes fans walk when the team are e...the 52,301 who watched Leeds v Newcastle last year in the 2nd tier.....

I've never......EVER hidden my agenda buddy. London could have been a powerhouse in RL......the RFL and Hughes put paid to that! London RL will not go to the wall if the Broncos fold, but certain investors will not deal with the current owner and that is a fact known by a great deal of the few long term fans still on board. David Hughes is a saint.......just a really stupid one!

WQ it's one of those things mate, we had a fair few fans who came to watch there SL team when we played them, so unlikely we will see them for a while, the appeal of rugby league in our area is hard enough when you have the bigger names in the game coming down. Trying to talk folk into coming to see Swinton and batley gonna be a real uphill struggle, but it's about managing expectations and trying to build slowly again.
It's what happens with any re structure that could and probably will decide our long term fate

5K or so Canadians have bought into the visits from obscure northern towns..explain how more people attended in Toronto v York than will bother watching London v Wire?
You are David Hughes and I claim my fiver.......the 'what's the point" argument has been the clubs o to for a dozen years and guess what.....it aint working!
