If you were past caring, you wouldn't have bothered with your splendid reply.


Looking forward to post number 116 with baited breath.......don't leave is so long this time between your insightful comments..........November 3rd 2011...post 114!

post 13580........quantity has nothing to do with quality pal.
its just repetative. get a life mate

WoW..........your posts are like an E8 bus......wait months for one then 2 arrive at the same time

If my posts are so repetative, why did you bother opening it? Others with the same attitude as you manage to avoid them.....some even contribute from time to time, but you just snipe.

I make no bones about it.....in my opinion the club is being run into the ground and like lemmings, some like you are just sitting there grinning inanely and enjoying the ride.

If I didn't care, I wouldn't post!

I'm not quite sure how you can come up with a long term success criteria for a one off. On the day a gate of above x could well be seen as successful but it nearly all of those people are newcomers who aren't taken enough ever to return is that a real success? Will the club have any meaningful data on who the new attenders are and what they made of it all? If we are seriously looking at moving east surely the second on the road game should also be at Orient so we could see how many East London addresses bought tickets for both games, how many bought for the first but didn't return for the second etc.

1. Excellent post
2. ....data collection, following up as well as analysis???? I think you might be on the wrong board...this is the London Broncos Board.

Success for this game can only be measured in terms of how many newcomers it attracts and how many of those are persuaded to come back.

I fear, however, that success in those terms will be used to make the case for a move when all it will actually demonstrate is that the more effort you put into attracting people to games the more are likely to turn up.

People seem to be forgetting that there actually is no choice about playing away from the Stoop. Where we go is not really of interest to anyone at the stoop management, they need to treat the playing surface -end of.

In which case it is 'lucky' we got an away draw in the challenge Cup ...........isn't it?????

Regardless of the "supposed" reasons for being OTR, the fact that the club have apparently engaged in more marketing for these 2 games than they have since the move to the stoop in 2006, points to an awfull lot of eggs being put in one basket....

Have you noticed GF, that when we win a game, you come on here within a couple of days and coat the club off for something or another? Normally conveying the same message over and over.

Tbf while the message
Has often been the same so have the fundamental fowl ups at the club. It's beyond a joke now.

Really? Only when we win eh?
I have been "coating the club off" since 2003......win, lose or draw and yes, it is always the same subject....and it will continue to be until the penny drops. After the CEO announcing that commercial viability and 10k gates were the target back in January......we have instead seen crowds drop.......so yep, "a coating off" is the order of the day

Ticketing for this game with regard to ST holders was a farce.......putting a coach on at 20 quid is insanity beyond stupidity and advising people to get the Drain on a Sunday another example of things not being thought through properly......so yes, I will "coat off the club" because IMO they are stumbling from error to farce with alarming prefessionalism

By the way....beating the 4 teams we have this year is nothing to write home about....2 part time clubs and 2 other cellar dwellars......and we are only being kept off the floor by the new boys (who beat us) on points difference......but as I say, win lose or draw, until they start acting like a professional club, they will get "coated off"

Pre 2011......15 seasons of Superleague...about 200 games at home......3 times sub 2k gates. 18 home games since 2011......we've had 4....22% of our home games sub 2,000 gates.......yeah, they deserve a medal

I do totally empathise with everyone's frustrations, I really do. But that's easy for me to say 10,000 miles away and not living what you lot continually have to endure.

Success for me will be a sound beating dished out to the Bulls
