Quote: Deadcowboys1 "Can't fathom at all why if the BOSG are true fans of the club why they remain silent. Nothing of course on their twitter feed challenging. Cannot just be because they have surgically attached themselves to Hughes & Lobster's buttocks.'"

BOSG is a Monkey Lover project. He did tell me at that they had proved to be a disappointment. I am sure it will fade away once ML departs.

I'd suggest the club is on its last legs, regardless of how many apologies and invitations are issued. Yet again Hughes disconnect from reality and inability to take advice has seen him being conned into another move/name change/etc by employees who should never have been employed in the first place.
During the pandemic there was a HUGE opportunity to build up an "on line" fanbase community. Simple things like.old games, interactive quizzes, competitions etc...all could have been maintained remotely, but instead we got the shambles of 2021 followed by the most unwanted move in the clubs modern era. A total disconnect from the real fans and now the chief architect is on his toes.
Personally, my son has had a broncos shirt every birthday, but not ever whilst that idiot gets to clip the ticket.

I was involved in the "Dissenters" meeting with Monkey. [That did not last long]. It was put to him and Lobster, why was there so little communication from the club throughout the lock down period. Their answer was simple. Nothing to communicate.
At that time I knew a Professor of Journalism at one of our local Universities. The man has been the editor of a national newspaper. Set up and run a national news/sport radio station and taught journalism, obviously.
I spoke to him on this and he found it incredulous that they were unable to find content, that would keep fans engaged with the club. He said it was a poor excuse. It showed lack of vision and it all seemed to him very amateurish. Someone with a bit of media savvy would not need much of a budget to be able to deal with it.
Thought he summed the Broncos up quite nicely !

I would add to your post I think both Monkey and BOSG are a disappointment, promised the world when BOSG was setup but fell at the first hurdle.

There were fan interviews, word searches etc until ML took over media when the then media manager was put on furlough. Old games were streamed on YouTube too.

Typical Broncos. Start but never finish....I expect the search for a new home will begin in earnest during our summer away from plough Lane.
Given we will likely be in the same division in 2023, skolars would seem like a good fit, especially as we could share squads.

Looking at LB social media, anyone else think the kid who just started doing the Twitter stuff a couple of weeks ago isn’t doing it anymore.

But after the back stabbing he received he did far better for himself and has a dream job with a future not still with a dying on its feet club

He was rather 'marmite'. I know he alienated some. However he did not do a bad job and his work on the mic on matchday surpassed what followed.

I was wondering why the amount of likes and comments on Twitter posts was down. I figured that people had become disgruntled and couldn’t be bothered but it may simply be that there are now very few Broncos fans left who are allowed to comment.
In all seriousness I can see how this is slightly tricky for the club. I suspect they aren’t trying to deeply offend long standing but frustrated fans but as a public facing medium they feel any negativity might affect the brand. Their heavy handedness in respect of some of the things people have been banned for comes across as crass and over sensitive and clearly has caused offence but I’m not sure what the half way house is. I suspect they ban people because they don’t have the resource to be light touch and just remove posts. Maybe when the new guy comes in he can remove comments but not ban. Hopefully if things improve there will be more positive posts and so no need to remove any more critical ones. As an alternative they could of course just get more things right. A spirited case could be made for saying they have spent more time removing comments and banning than commenting on such things as Sunday’s match, our signing of 3 additional players before the Widnes game and sponsors generally. That is a very odd way to go about things.

Quote: BigTime "I was wondering why the amount of likes and comments on Twitter posts was down'"

The "12 or so old whiners" on here are not alone it would seem.
2,200 to 1,400 in the first 2 league games and no confidence of it being any better in 10 days for York points to the flow of older fans out the door continuing
The old adage about never getting a second chance to make a first opinion rings true (again) for the Broncos and the lack of matchday experience on the first game at a new stadium showed the club wasn't prepared.
Then the lack of communications on social platforms combined with the attitude towards any negative comments ( the shirt is a wire shirt) has further deepened the rift between fans and club.
Personally, I see the club a looking at York as an example of how to become self sufficient. 600+ people willing to pay corporate fees is better than 2,500 old whiners.....problem is, they haven't a core base of fans to develop...as usual they have only seen half the picture.
As for bans on Twitter. I'm still able to interact and given my Twitter name, I find that amusing to say the least. icon_wink.gif

On the plus side we kept the match score updates flowing regularly on Twitter and even announced the score so that’s a lesson learned.
