I think we spit balled this a few months back and decided it should be around concept of money. Picture of Big wad of cash on front of shirt, Annie S impersonator saying ‘Oil be back’ in homage to our oil broker owner. I still think it’s a winner.

Who is this woman Annie S? Surely Hughes was a gas broker, although I can see that "gas be back" doesn't really work.  |

Hmmm, Big Time. Back in the day, as Bongser defended the charge of Leigh being merely a bus stop in Wigan, you said that anyone would have to be mad to take a bus in London! Bongser has a long memory.
As to how to get to LSV now another “Northern Powerhouse” lie has been exposed and HS2 cancelled, you’ll have a further 20 minutes on the choo-choo and Bongser has posted passim how to get an “HSV1” thereafter.

Coming by car? Loads of free parking!
That’s the “Visitors’ Guide” sorted. 
Seriously, PM if you are coming up and we’ll have a cheap pint together - cheap for you anyway.

Annie Sugden, Emmerdale Farm. BT's a Northerner at heart!

She must be pretty mummified by now. Not a good look for a marketing plan. |

This auto correct is xxxxing it. Bob Monkhouse didn’t have to work with this.

And that's because shirts aren't important; bobble hats are!

Ealing had many drawbacks but it seemed relatively simple to drive to and park up in. Although a superior ground PL fails in that regard quite heavily. Of course I would in no way wish to endorse buses but I’m at a loss to see many other alternatives for those driving into London as that part of the capital seems to be very anti parking (for non residents).
Talking of cheap drinks - I had occasion to take my wife to PL to watch the grand Final -in the on site pub. Predominantly it is a real ale type pub -lots of choice. My wife made a B line for the wine. One glass - £9.50. I didn’t see that one coming. |

I got one of those Broncos hats as well. I’m not as keen on it as you are. Mind, I’m not aware of anyone whose got more pleasure from their bobble hat! |

Best thing about supporting London Broncos since beating Canberra in 1997.
Promotion to Super League should outrank a hat***, I know. But when promotion happened in 2018, and again now, it's been manic elation. And when I've finally sobered up: elation mixed with trepidation.
And then just trepidation.
Please let it be different this time. Please...
***If you could see my head, you'd know why I place such an importance on hats... |

As the saying goes Benny:
If you want to get ahead, get a hat"
Maybe the team coming from London should arrive for matches wearing a bowler & carrying a furled umbrella & briefcase.
I've been awake far too long today, I'm going into the cupboard under the stairs as it's dark in there. Goodnight

A couple of weeks later we have the answer. It’s that we’ll get relegated come what may. Aces! |

So let's enjoy the season then! I think the club already knew that was likely the case. Lads can play with no pressure enjoy the SL experience and maybe some fans will be drawn back.
Importantly is some fans can be drawn back is getting them to keep coming the following season.
Surprised at the lowest B spot but with the gradings we were never going to be close to top 12
