| Quote: Southern Reiver "Err are you good at marketing crap then. You can invite anyone, it doesn't mean they'll turn up. On field does matter or do marketeers ignore that fact in planning. After all what are you trying to sell. People only buy crap for so long however you market it. Your alternative is to control the market and strangle the competition.'"
Did you, Gus, Imogen, Powell or Hughes think we were going to be crap in 2012? The Club decided to re-brand as the Broncos as a way of generating interest and attracting fans, new and old, to the game in the London region.
We had St Helens, Huddlesfield (sic) and Castleford as the first 3 visitors to the Stoop this year....3,091 was the average attendance......less than the 2011 average.
This points to a total and utter waste of time and money with the re-brand.....those first 3 home games, regardless of how the team was performing, should have seen gates of 6,000+.
Marketing crap is not easy.....it involves a lot of creative thinking, trial and error and buckets of enthusiasm.
Anyway, as I have said, the club can move every year and change its name......eventually, the penny will drop and they will employ a marketer who understands the game, the USP's it has and who will do more than update facebook and twitter.

Moving to Gillingham would be the end of a London SL club. Insane idea.

Gillingham, or MK or Oxford - although it's much more convenient for me to get to statement of the bleedin' obvious 'Gillingham ain't London!' Enjoyed the OTR game there and would be more than happy to go back there again, especially if it coincided with Medway Dragons 'weekend'. However if we're going to move it HAS to be inside the M25 .

| It could the Allianz Arena (otherwise known as Barnet Copthall). Allianz has just agreed an £8m (yes, eight million) sponsorship with Saracens. And I can remember when their gates were half of what the London Crusaders got in the early '90s.
Rugby Union well connected - Rugby League paupers.
Who said the class struggle was over!

Yeah...funny that. I must have been dreaming this year when they filled Wembley and got all the associated media coverage
Get the blinkers off.......for all the group self gratification going on after the binning of the coach, we are at the foot of the table, with less fans than last year and we still don't know where (or even if) we will be playing our homes games next year.....the club is a shambles.
I am amazed that anyone connected with or who supports the London Broncos feels comfortable throwing snide comments at Sarries

| Even though i would love Broncos at Copthall for purely selfish reasons, would they have rugby league there even if Broncos wanted to play there?
They're having a pitch similar to Widnes' pitch so there are no pitch issues, but would the locals let them play?
They're already up in arms that Saracens were given permission, so sticking the 13-16 extra fixtures may upset them.
Would Sarries want Broncos there, would Broncos actually even want to go there?

| London RL owe David Hughes something like 8,000,000 over the last 5 or 6 years.....you have to ask yourself, WHERE has that money been well spent?
2007-2012
156 SL games, 48 wins (30%), 4 draws and 104 losses....average score a 19-29 loss. Average finishing position, 11th with 16 points and 15% less fans at home games.......
....seriously....why would anyone have a pop at a Union club who in the same space of time make us look like the clusterf**k that we are
As for us playing there as tenants........yeah, let's swap one ground for another rather than face the cold hard facts
The only positive with a move to Barnet as tenants would be that Moe and Jaybs would still have a 4 hr round journey to games

| Before it was all finalised they could have offered to buy in to the idea, took some of the burden of building costs and been part owners, can't ever see the Broncos in their own home.

the question has to be asked why would sarries want a partner...especially one with the worst current record for business management in professional club rugby of either code...and I include Bradford in that statement!
Sarries attract 83k to a game...raise the national and international profile of the club.....and have now attracted a major sponsor...yet they are to be riddiculed?
The New London Broncos attract 1,970 to a game, have no local profile, let alone national and have attracted a local building supply company for the final 25% of the season.......please tell me that everyone can spot the difference?
Interesting statement of intent from Salford Recently.......

Saffercens are almost as much a failure as Broncos crowd wise they just market themselves better.
For example next season their average attendance will be swelled by a "home game" played in Northampton's patch.
Clever stuff admittedly but they're just a busted flush of a different kind.
The Enron of rugby if you will.
