Bottom line is the decline in standards on and off the pitch over a relatively short time is a choker but we are now a PT set up all we can expect is a decent PT championship operation. The rest depends on the skill of the coach, players and management. Start of the season, for whatever reason, and I make no excuses for it, we were way,way off. on all metrics. As at today the playing squad seem to be competitive. If we can move that to winning a few that would be a start. I Remain of the view that we need some players in. Off the pitch it’s pretty shambolic, so there’s a lot of work to be done there.

Good to see a point on the board. Most expected this game to go one way, so good to see the squad put in a decent performance. Sounds like olly L had a decent game, good on him, a few folk were very negative about him when chatting at game a few weeks back.
Importantly they seem to be improving week on week, let's hope we get that win next time out

Congratulations to Barrow by the way.

Just shy of 2k in attendance and they had a full compliment of matchday sponsors in place as well as a matchday sponsor for the ladies game earlier. Entry for a fiver if you came for the ladies game and their twitter feed was awash with pre-match information then score updates with graphics and pictures.

When comparing Barrow, who were in L1 last year to London who were a SL club not long ago, it's worth noting that they have a community partnership program in place which actively works in the immediate Barrow in Furness community, whilst last week our mascot Buck was at a school in West Acton, 3 miles down the road from our old home at Trailfinders but 12 miles and across the river from our new home.

I've never been to Barrow, but according to the office of statistics, it is a town with a declining population due to socio-economic pressures and was voted the most working class place in Britain in 2008. From the pictures and video I've seen, Craven Park isn't up to SL standard and only has a capacity of 3,000 with a great deal of that terracing, but they have an average attendance of 1,900 this year and they have assembled a pretty competitive squad.
and seem pretty happy with where they are.

We on the other hand a forking out on a SL standard stadium with no chance of seeing SL standard football from a bargain basement squad assembled by a coach who won 3 games from 18 in the 3rd tier last season and has now had 7 games as London Broncos Coach without a win. Joey Grima won once in 19 outings as London coach, Powell had a slightly better 27% win ratio...you have to ask how long will it be before Hughes loses patience?

I've just quickly scanned over the 13 Twitter accounts of the other sides in our division and they ALL have regular match updates with graphics and sponsor information on try scorers........so it would seem that only London Broncos have neither the staff nor the willingness of volunteers to keep this key channel of communication updated.

Still...well done Barrow. A small community focussed RL club showing how it can and should be done

The other stand out feature of this mega performance is of course we played in black. So let's give ourselves a head start & dump the blue & yellow sop to the landlords & stick with black.

Yep, this Wire kit is obviously jinxed. I suggest a mass burning at the next home game.

Good point but the highlights reveal that Macani's defensive efforts have not improved. https://www.rugby-league.com/article/36 ... on-broncos

I’ve no doubt that when the season is reviewed by LB management that all will agree it was the kit that is to blame for where we are.

Nearly 5 on the Monday after our first point of the season. Twitter feed and website silent as the grave. Looks to me like Sunday and Monday are non work days for back room -so that’s a bit unfortunate.

Agree aboiut Macani, kits etc.

But old badge? Definitely! Get that back and we'll be second place in Super League again within two seasons.

Joking, but only slightly. I've always thought the new Broncos badge was beyond horrible (and the kind of thing I can't believe someone signed off);.the original badge is obviously better, especially when it said London RLFC.

Which is cool. And I'd probably buy it (even though I've 90% given up on the club). But I'd still prefer a white V with a red stroke.

Well thats better than blue & yellow but I still want red, yellow & blue quarters with white shorts.

Quarters has always screamed RU to me.
I liked the original XXXX shirt we had with the vertical stripes. Compromise?

Just as long as we never return to multi pastel quarters……….

I liked that too so yes more than acceptable. I'd even accept the cup final shirt.
