Do you really feel as a Bronco fan that you shouldn't bother to encourage others to go to a match or become supporters?
Seems a sad position to take.
The 'supposed' fan bit? How do they become genuine fans?
Smacks a bit of superiority to me. I would have thought you would want Broncos to have a future by growing it's fan base.
Just because The Hive have a budget for marketing does not prevent fans from encouraging more support. The club is only there because the fans want it so it is in the fans interest to encourage as many along as possible to improve the atmosphere for themselves and possibly improve the fortunes on the pitch.

As someone whose own support is split with 25% refusing to go to a game at the Hive because it's outside Barnet I appreciate every fan who makes an effort to turn up and make a bit of noise. I doubt anybody has enough money to get those people to change their principles. That you have chosen to use the fact that crowds are down due to this and our relegation to use it to bash the Hive is a sad thing for me and I'm not sure it's benefiting your argument choosing to attack the Hive and TK whilst they are still clearly working hard but still finding their feet. I think a fair number appreciate that they are genuine, honest and making the effort that by the sounds of thing wasn't really there before.

As for the OP, I suspect they read the forum a bit before joining. It's what I did. Who knows this thread may have scared them off and it's their only post .

The reason I think this thread is so long is the concern that someone new is being advised to block one of the best source of information on this forum because they told you that you are being over critical. A fact that you appear to agree with to some extent. Certainly you have a knack of taking every snippet of information and turning it into a negative when us lemmings have a more positive view of it.

I guess if you are correct and Broncos is finished (I know you never said it) then I guess Lemmings is a good analogy for us blindly going to watch them.

For me, I look back 3 months and can't believe Broncos is still an entity for you to criticise. That there is a game this weekend for the Broncos and that all the things you say about the negatives are true but are still on the table and are beginning to be resolved one by one shows that there is a reason to believe Broncos may have a future. No one knows what that future will be but at least it's one that allows fans to go and see their team play.

These are not positives or negatives, just the facts as I see them today.

Whilst you wont admit it, I sense you are waiting for the current vein of positivity to fail so you can say I told you so, my own view is the more people that get behind it the more chance it has of succeeding.

yes I know you will strip this post apart and hyperanalyse it to tell me the finances are screwed, we're all delusional and I'm chosing to ignore the issues but I do genuinely think that Broncos could still be around in two years time and could even be viable as a championship level side with backing behind it to move back to the top table. If anything I guess it's best viewed as the lowest they can go and the only way is up.

As I said in an earlier post the key thing now is to get those tickets available online rather than just by phone and in person, maybe then there will be a reasonable crowd in 2 weeks time.
