alas no....SoOI in Melbourne is costing us about $4,000, so another $1,500 + was a "game too far" for Mrs G.

Quote: Snoopy "When fixtures are rearranged ST holders will still know which tickets to use. No doubt some supporters have probably suggested this as they go to Quins RU games as well. The club has probably responded to the fans suggestions and now they are being criticised for it. Time some critics thought things through a bit rather than just jump on the clubs efforts even if they are not obvious at first glance.'"

Couldn't agree more. There are plenty of things worth complaining about at Broncos but this certainly isn't one of them. Even at my doddery old age I've had no problem at all with these vouchers.

dswg - read my post again - it was satire, tongue in cheek humour. It seems week by week more and more people are losing their sense of humour.

This leads me back to the "club conspiracy theories/hidden agendas" thread. Something murky is going underneath with this seasons failure, although I feel in the world of 'mergers and acquisitions' something will transpire although I feel it'll just be a Broncos v.3 based in NE London. Until then us, the fans, can merely sit here in the dark and stir the pot.

Alas, I fear Tobreck might be onto something.
Another move as a result of neglect in communications, marketing, promotions and community intergration, where they will simply arrive at a new venue, stick rugby posts in the ground and expect everyone to flock to the game d040.gif

The club have less fans than ever before in ESL, no paying sponsors, a benefactor who is "offski" in a couple of years and not the slightest clue of what to do about it.

Here's one for you. We all know that DH and the RFl had talks last year about how to improve or assist a London club grow, and lets say that the RFL either gave promises which have not been fulfilled, or, the assurances given were not enough for DH. He then on paper spends up to the cap indicating that he is keeping to one side of any bargain, but is deliberatley refusing to fund anything else including a proven coach and marketing, in the gamble that the RFL cannot or will not allow the demise of a London club with all the implications that could have for the investment in the sport in future and any growth plans they may have.

Yeah...and Gus Mackay and Imogen Gaunt are happy to have their CV's destroyed by being party to the biggest and most rapid decline in fortunes in sporting club history..... d040.gif

Here's what DH said at the time.

Has any of the technical, physical, marketing and financial support been provided ?

Marketing hyperbole kicking into overdrive again there ducks and wrong on sooooo many fronts.

Couple of pointers, CEO's CFO's CTO's etc walk away from REAL declines under their watches without a blemish, CV's are for noobs, networks are for real earners, try looking at the employment history of most of those connected to the banks during the sub prime crisis to see exactly how badly a real disaster affected their employment. Gus will always be employed, same as those you hate so much for their efforts in marketing the club in the past will be.

Biggest and most rapid decline? now that has to be the funniest thing you have ever written, and it has strong contenders. If this club folded tomorrow I doubt there would be many more column inches written in the majority of the mainstream press than there is now on match results, the likes of Stephen Jones would have a field day for maybe a week, you can't have it both ways, we are a club playing a sport alien to the majority of the population, not unlike the Monarchs or the Knights.......don't recall Madge getting calls for the flags to fly at half mast at their demise.
