The North London derby being played at the same time, the problems with public transport getting to Twickenham and the team's 0% record this season are never going to help to push the attendance above the 2000 mark.
Quote: jaybs "All I am saying is this could be the last throw of the dice! or do we play out the last two seasons at The Stoop, that is if the owners allow/want us & charge us a rent worth staying. It always disappoints me that David Hughes is often blamed for the situation we are in, without David we would not be here now anyway, do people seriously think he wants to throw his own savings away? it is always a dream of mine to be able to invest in the club in a major way, but not to just burn money! Some people may knock Gold & Sullivan at my footie team West Ham, but they are trying to run a tight ship, offers like kids for free on matches we would not sell out, not giving players stupid wages like the Icelandic owners did, many Premiership teams would like to have the 30,000 plus we attract regular.
First all I want to see from The London Broncos is to get a winning mentality, even if it is not attractive ruby at first. I was not happy when West Ham brought in Big Sam as manager, but his boring football may and should get us promoted, that is what counts. We need to be at least half way up the Super League and then put the money into marketing to bring in crowds to see a winning team that can complete.'"

Sorry, but that is a set of excuses worthy of a 5yr old...all that was missing was "the dog ate my ticket" , Sorry I couldn't help it , having said that , not much to laugh about up here either , both in work terms and support . 1,374 at Leigh on sunday , so 400 + down on break even , and we have nobody to make up the shortfall
Quote: EHW "Boring day at work and reading through the RFL Operational Rules.
Attendances below 5,000
If for any reason a club can foresee any individual match attendance falling below 5,000 spectators, they should highlight this to the RFL Marketing department at least one month out from the fixture. The Marketing department will then work in partnership with the Club to explore all avenues to drive this attendance above the 5,000 threshold.'"
I can't believe that the Broncos don't leafllet every house in the TW2 area when a home match is due. Has this been even tried?
How many local shops have posters in their windows showing who the Broncos are playing next?
What sort of coverage do the Broncos get in the local newspaper/s?
As The Penguin states it would help from the RFL assisting with better media communication, it is throwing money down the drain to spend excessive on marketing when the product is not going to appeal to the paying customer and what we are producing on the pitch presently is not going to pull them in by the thousands, did the club itself not state the reason for not having a sponsor was due to several interested parties seeing how we perform?
