Sorry, on reflection, it's meant to say "Marketing Plan". Just say that, rather than obscuring it with extraneous rubbish.

Please accept my apologies for obscuring the diagram. It patently failed in your case to explain that the Broncos seem to have almost completed a circle of london and are now near to a return south of the water after 25 years of rent payments and name (badge) changes only to find themselves no better off than they were in 1996.
This amazing logistical feat has been accomplish whilst almost completely letting anyone know they existed.
If my pontification and elaboration have caused you offence, please accept my humbles which I profer unreservedly.
If you'd care to point out where I am wrong in my assertion, feel free. I didn't blame anyone, just made an observation, but it seems any criticism is taken badly by some who blindly follow the lemmings over the edge

Anyone would think you were the only one over the last 20 years who knew a coherent Marketing Plan was needed if the club were to raise its profile & fan base. It would seem your ego is still suffering the bruising of rejection of your input. Mind you're not taking too much Vitamin C. icon_lol.gif

It would seem your ego is still suffering the bruising of rejection of your input. Mind you're not taking too much Vitamin C. Laughing at your own jokes? I wonder what einstein would make of that. I never said I had a marketing plan nor did I offer this no existent plan or "input" to anyone.
I simply pointed out that london broncos fans seem happy to accept the same excuses and reasons for moving without seeming to question the people peddling them.
Backthebroncos dot whatever is another example of a badly thought out and unrequired change.
There's a cracking video up on youtube from a few years back. I don't know how to post it here, but if you search David hughes trailfinders it'll pop up. He says how wonderful the set up is with a gym and the teams playing and training together. It's quite inspiring if you were new to this merry-go-round. H says stuff about it being quite possible to turn it into a sl standard ground. Maybe he was just mistaken.

Given that Trailfinders seemed happy to have us back it would at least appear that he hasn't annoyed the landlord like he did at the stoop and the hive.

Welcome back GF/Orangeman (The cafe must be running along nicely in NZ)

Do you have an updated 20 point marketing plan you could share with us?

As everything there are always other views on things.
You can go glass half full, everything is shocking.
Or you can look at it glass half full despite all the problems the club is still here, lots of clubs have tried and are just names in the history books.
So pick your route, everything is terrible we arr moving again, we have never achieved anything.
Or we are still running as a club, we are still getting to watch RL in the city.

Broncos fans seem happy to accept the same excuses and reasons for moving? Where's your evidence for that? Not here for sure.

Lemmings don't jump over the edge of anything. Walt Disney invented that "fact".

And I don't think[i orangeman [/iis GF either. Would he stoop so low as a "word cloud"? Hold on though, "word cloud" on a roundabout? He just might.

Benny, wasnt me that said it! I didnt use it as an analogy either. I was merely commenting on the suggestion that it is relevant to anything to do with supporting a rugby team. Reality or disney view

Quote: Benny Profane ".

Why? Does this site represent the overall attitude of Broncos fans? If so, then I'd suspect that the huge reduction in the number of posters and posts over the years points to a huge reduction in numbers of actual fans. A reduction that is not solely attributable to results on the park, but instead influenced by the fiasco of the shenanigans at the Club since say 2007?
As it is. I've read a great many posts on here and as usual, it seems that whilst many posters (those that are left) moan, they still attend games, buy shirts and therefore support the decision made by the club.
Personally. When the question was asked back in 2013 about where would we be without our benefactor, I wish we'd found out. Probably in the lower echelons of the game, but the Skolars would have picked up some fans. Instead, we've wasted millions bouncing from the Hive to Ealing to wherever for no gain.
Another move for no apparent reason other than to give someone at the club purpose. Reminds me of a bloke that once played cricket for Zimbabwe.
EDIT: To be clear. I saw no benefit in the name change back to the Broncos, not the move from the Stoop. I believe the Hive was as close to the Abyss as we've been since 2005 and whilst I freely admit to being scathing of the Trailfinders set up, I see no profitability/sustainability for the club in either Superleague or the Championship without a core of some 3,500 fans and I see no chance of that happening by moving to South West London and away from a set up that seems to have gone from "Brilliant to Bullcrap" in the space of 5 years, but whilst seeing a small growth in gate numbers.....albeit a very small growth but not a decline as has been the case in all but one of the clubs previous homes.

We! Have not wasted a penny! We are the fans all it has cost us is the gate fee every home game.
As for the 3500 figure you quote, why is moving to wimbedon going to make it any less likely that we could achieve that as opposed to staying where we are? At least wimbledon can take that number.
Barnet was a particular low, move to trailfinders critisised by lots, but it gave the club some stability. But as proven SL were not willing to accept it as a suitable ground, thats despite the stand that could never be built, so another move had to be made.
Its not another move for no apparent reason, its a move that shows the club at least has some ambition of playing in SL.
As for costs of the ground, without knowing the new deal at trailfinders we cant compaire really

No offence meant, just quoted the last post mentioning it.

I agree with just about everything you're saying, except when you criticise the few remaining fans.

There are people here from the Fulham days (not me). They've seen good management, (mainly) bad management, and even management by the RFL because we had no management of our own. And they probably disagree with just about every management decision since Barry Maranta left (I know I do). But they still turn up. That's to be admired, not chastised.

Hold on, posting at 4.35am? Blimey, it is Gutterfax after all.
