Good effort and possibly should have won by the sounds of it.

looks like my feeling almost came to pass. But they still came up short

Another loss

be interesting to see @Smithers99 take on the game, as this is the first home game London have actually been close in, and 4 tries as well. yes its a loss, but for the first time it looks like the crowd might have actually been entertained

0-5, worst start to a 2nd tier comp in our history, also lowest 2nd tier points scored after 5 (4icon_cool.gif and worst 2nd tier points diff too after 5 games (-7icon_cool.gif.

Things can only get better, can't they ?

Might as well pack up now....Cant see any positives in the future...Our club is going down quicker than Monica Lewinski !...

Like Swinton fans used to sing (maybe they still do):
"We lose at home and we lose away, we lost last week and we'll lose today..."

Also be interesting to see if they made ove 1K attendance? I hope they did as it was probably the best game at PL this season

It's coming! But may not be quite the comments everyone expected. The pub was quite packed an hour after the game. With beer being the biggest unit profit mark-up at the stadium and with the Broncos getting a cut (I'd assume the biggest as the football club use "commission" to define their part from the London games) that helps the coffers.

The big news is I saw London kick that oval ball between the posts and over the cross bar. And not just once, but four times, including once without the tee!

My more detailed thoughts coming shortly.

903 if I heard the announcement correctly.

Orangeman actually overestimated with 950 (fairly certain it was 900 and something). But 47 out is a good prediction of course.

I thought we wouldn't make 1K also.

Attendance given as 903- not sure whether I believe that but it is what it is. It turns out Crash was right that was a game we should have won. We made too many errors in bad places in the 1st half and the ref spotted them all. Walker had a good debut. Parata and Bienek did well. I thought Leyland was really good in second half and as York tired ( rather than us) we pulled the strings. Their 3rd try towards end of the first half was a farce. Big old unit ran half the length of the pitch and no one was able t9 stop him. As you know I’m no expert but I’m not sure about Macani. He seems not t9 have confidence in his speed and bombed one on the line again. Basically though it was stupidity by some players that lost us it. Mocedreike is really busy but he seems to panic and waft the ball on the last time and time again. . Tuilatu On a 6 again on the line got himself r7. Over the dead ball line and Latu made a break andthen kicked the ball losing possession as opposed to us scoring. Basically a game worth watching but 2 points thrown away. York won’t weary the top 4.

1. Close game, but 0-5 it is
2. Sub 1,000 gate. [iNot a lot else to say here just yet[/i, but 2200/1400/900 is not good
3. Anyone believe that the matchday sponsor paid £1,500?
4. A busy bar is the result of fans enjoying the game and staying in the zone.
5. 2 week break now before Barrow away and Bradford at home....
6. If they'd anything about them, the BOSG would have been madly flogging Leigh coach tickets in the bar.
7. For the first time this year inset my alarm for this game but hit snooze....
8. Next home game we might get1,500+…...Bradford are on a roll!

I've been following the broncos 20 years now and was on their backs about how to grow crowds 5 years before that.....I am occasionally surprised, but rarely wrong in my musings. I've said the Bradford crowd will be nearer 1,500 but I suspect that will be because the south stand will be open and they will bring 600+. Rugby League fans love to have a gander at new stadiums and Bradford travel well

Interesting to read that the 903 was a bit "iffy" in the eyes of one attendee......have the lies to cover lies begun? Will Hughes figure out that sub 1k gates are all he has to.loom forward to.
Off the bottom on points difference....

Some additional thought. Although I was a bit surprised with the attendance figure there was a decent atmosphere today.
I bought some merchandise having found the shop. I’m surprised that some of the items on sale don’t seem to be on sale online. That seems an open goal to me.
I thought Borough had a decent cameo as did Williams. BTW Ogden for York was far more involved (in first half anyway) than I had seen before, seemed to have bulked up and was a threat.
Curran- he came with a rep of being one of the very best in the league. I’m not experienced enough to judge and suspect he does quite a bit of hidden stuff but although he seemed more involved today I just don’t know if he’s as influential as was hoped. Do others have views?

Well that result even though a loss got to be seen as a positive. Sounds like it was an entertaining competative game importantly for the fans. I was only listening and only first half but walker sounds like he has made an impact.
