| Quote: PC Plum "Odd how so called London Broncos fans seem obsessed with finding failings in every decision the club or the RFL make. Nothing is taken at face value, and its largely by the contributors who either don't watch the club or have no plans on watching them going forward.
Equally odd how these folk want to continue to contribute to a forum that represents a club they no longer believe in or are interested in.
Maybe they should love off, and focus on their new life experiences or accept that they really do care for the London Broncos and stop being a bunch of merchant bankers.'"
Cracking post.........highlights the arrogance of the remaining few and their belief that "you're not a real fan" unless you worship at the feet of St David. Watching the club continue to fail is painful, but worth it knowing numpties Like plum are there to enforce the clique mentality....

Not a bad idea. However just one major flaw. As a business applying for a grant or loan you need a business plan, a workable real one you intend to implement.

Black Backgrounds/Zoot.gif Freedom for supporters of the government, only for members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. freedom is always and exclusively for one who thinks differently.

He also needs to remember that some of us now live, in my case, a 400+ mile round trip from the ground and are also very angry at the way the hard work that they put in to keep the club going in the eighties when Ernie Clay pulled out has been effectively wasted by one man's arrogance and blinkered outlook.

1649_1338292262.jpg I have followed the LONDON CLUB since I was in my teensl even though born in St Helens and still live nearby and went to the first game at Fulham, also Big West Ham Supporter:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_1649.jpg |

I can assure you that I don't worship at David Hughes feet, as these doom merchants do, I have always made my thoughts & opinions known but direct to the man himself, we would never have been able to continue so long without him, but I know his mistakes in my opinion so well. What if fans behaved like these Few still do here those at clubs with a lot longer history such as the Cumbria Clubs, we would be left with a 8 team RL sport.
Some of us will fight on and that is what it is now to retain our club, we fail and I see little future for the sport anywhere past Sheffield heading south.

I reckon the school fete atmosphere with free polo shirt and keyring will draw a few extra. I might even pop by for a go on the bouncy castle and tombola.

| So The Hive sojourn has gained Broncos 1 new fan.
David "Brewster's Millions" Hughes won't like that.

Nick Cartwright, Chris Warren, Paul Brown, Ian Lenagan, David Hughes, Richard Lewis, Keith Hogg, Paul Blanchard and Angus Mackay have all had my "opinion" delivered face-2-face. A couple of them, actually agreed with me but unfortunately, Hughes has never taken to "advice" well and as a result, the club are ted beyond repair.
The fact that Hughes has bankrolled this disaster doesn't pardon him from taking 90% of the blame and I don't care if you 'think" we wouldn't have existed without him, because we will never know now. As a viable SL entity, we may have attracted interest from outside or inside the game, but whilst he held court and the 20 million + of debt was on the books, nobody would come near us....and now we are one step away from being Hammersmith Hills Hoists!
I will continue to follow the clubs "progress" and I will continue to proffer my opinion here and elsewhere. I will attend games when I am in the country, but have no axe to grind with fans who have had enough and I find it incredibly arrogant to you and Plum to lambaste fans of the club for having a negative opinion of it, it's current direction and its owner. These people have invested time and money in attending and supporting the club and have been treated terribly...they are consumers and next time you're having a heart to heart with your Buddy "Dave', tell him from me, his Customer Relationship Management skills stink! It's only my opinion mind, but it does come backed up with some pretty hefty data behind it!
I see the crowd was announced as a nice round 500 for the last harrah at the "venue where we can grow" (Hughes circa 2013).....that's a fair drop from the dizzy heights of 8k for his first game in sole ownership!

In 6 short seasons (2009-14) he reduced our attendance by 67%, took a 43% win ratio and reduced it to 23% and took our average finishing place from 7th to 11th. He increased our average losing margin from 4.18 to over 12.2 points a game and ran up personal investment/debt to the tune of 18 million pounds......if someone set out to destroy a professional sports club I doubt they could do a better job!

| Third Lanark were deliberately run into the ground.
But that was a property scam.
Hughes seems to be doing an Oscar Wilde by destroying the thing he loves.

Maybe not a Third Lanark, but every chance Broncos could go the way of this Scots team

Don't talk daft. The "hard core" Broncos "Ultras" will recruit Rupe 1, who will in turn ignore the new tenancy at a Union training facility and will assemble the massed ranks of London supporters who left when we became Harlequins (ignoring the fact that crowds went up) and the sheer volume of fan traffic along Vallis Way will convince residents that they should actually sell their houses to pay for a new 25,000 seat arena where St David of Swinton can hold court to the massed ranks of the RL faithful who look nothing like a bunch of train spotters as a casual observer on facebook might think they do.

| What's the chances of of the RLFans forum designers setting up an alternative London Broncos fans forum entitled 'Former, Not Interested, Not Going Again London Broncos' so Barnaby and his crew of Ultra anti Broncos bells can get their rocks off together in one place rather than having to titilate each other on here ???

Wow......you do seem intent in some sort of internet "outing" of me when the reality is I've never hidden my identity at all. Are you still of the belief I am ashamed of my christian name?
By the way, I said I will attend when in the country if only to see first hand the level of hell we have arrived at on this fun bus ride to oblivion.
