| You have no idea what went on during the game yet somehow you are able to determine whether or not it is worthwhile for the players. Ridiculous. Off the field, fine, comment all you like, but realistically you didn't see anything of that match last year that was actually a pretty good run out for our side.

We're not all Southern Softies: |
|
| This is getting worrying Listy.
I agree with your sentiments entirely, once again !!!
For me, this fixture has become an annual pilgrimage & is not so much about the actual game but meeting the fans attending the event & planning the upcoming seasons away matches.
The pre-match beverages, a break from drinking to watch the game & then into the "Artilliary Arms" after the final whistle to celebrate what a great season we are going to have & sample some excellent ales. (Normally end up having too many !)
As for not attracting new fans, I took three Rugby Union friends to this fixture last year & they had a great day, came to a few games at the Stoop last season & can't wait for January 11th, so not a complete waste of time !!

| cant believe anyone would want to knock a preseason warm up between Broncos & Skolars. What's the harm in it? As for the Broncos not gaining any sponsors out of it, it's not actually the Broncos game - it's the Skolars who organise the thing.
It's a fantastic opportunity for all in the RL community in London to get together and I'm really looking forward to it. The Broncos are not the be all and end all in the south, it's fantastic that there are now 3 semi pro clubs in the region and if all goes well the Skolars will get promotion next year - something the Broncos would gain from with sending lads out on dual registration.
Day off work, meet some great people, talk RL and then watch a game in a fantastic setting. I've booked in for the lunch beforehand and will be making the most of the day.

Attendance in 2012 = 512
If that's the depth of the RL community in London, then I reckon we're buggered ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif)

| It is quality not quantity that counts. It is not bad for a mid-week afternoon, for once I reckon other SL clubs would struggle to get that against Champ 1 opposition in mid week in January. There are more knockers on here than..............

| If its the Skolars' day why can't the Broncos invite prospective sponsors, investors etc as their guests? A chance for them to listen to an after dinner speaker, watch a game of Rugby close up, be part of a unique game in a unique venue and to meet some big names in the sport like Martin Offiah.

| We can't do it because that would involve someone getting off their booty and actually doing some work. Our commercial activity last year was near enough nothing. I do not know if this was down to incompetency or other factors but the fact that we can't even make season tickets available for the few fans that we have left is utterly embarrassing.
Seriously, what are the full time employees of the club even doing at the moment?

"That wasn't a kick, the was a pass with his foot!" Brian Noble making Andrew Voss lose sleep: |
|
| It's a great day out and should definitely be kept for all the reasons mentioned.
Any news on any other fixtures? Has Perpignan been confirmed? Would like to see us play against Sheffield too to see if we are better than the Championship teams
