Despite the RFL being clueless even they recognise the importance of creating atmosphere at sporting events, thats why 1 of the original 10 licence application ' ticks ' was an average attendance of 40% of your stadiums capacity

Leigh are going to consider using just 1 stand at the LSV if the decline in attendances continues,

What? both of them?



Seriously though, do you think we acquired more QRU fans (and then lost them) than the number of Broncos fans we lost due to the change to H*******s?

I think there was some cross-over but who could blame anybody walking away after the last two years. This season should be all about winning hearts and minds - How about it Gus?

No.

But both rebrands eroded the fanbase to a greater & lesser degree.

God knows what effect Chatham Drongos will have if it comes to pass.

Interesting to read the comments by Gus in Forty-20 magazine. If you haven't seen them basically he says we want out of The Stoop at the end of the coming season, with the magazine hinting we can't afford to stay, though the old it's a RU area argument is trotted out by Gus. He goes on to say the club are targeting East London and out of season football fans (an idea that just flew at Charlton as I recall.)

Makes you wonder quite how much point there is marketing this season to the locals. 'Come and watch us, we probably won't be here next year though................'

The sad thing is I'm not half as upset about the mess this club is in as I would have been a few years ago. It's almost an air of fatalistic resignation now and if they can do that to a season ticket holder of well over a decade, and several parts of London, standing I'm not surprised they are struggling to win / retain new support.

Gus's business sense is worse than his fielding

I'm already preparing for next year. Have bought a season ticket for Hemel Stags so I can get to know the players names now.

From Ian Ramsdale on twitter:

Just had a quick look at the website, £20 to get in

Is this meant to be a shock tactic to get more people to buy season tickets? I am a floating fan, I am the people this club needs to target and get through the door but £20 to get in? You'll be lucky to see me once this year.

Skolars for me. Not a great scoreline on Friday but on paper, the strongest Skolars side I've seen. The fixture list being sp is my only gripe but hey, it could be worse, Gus and David Hughes could run the club.

This beggars belief, we had to beg them to tell us where we were playing in 2012 at the end of 2011 and now Gus tells us where will be playing in 2014 before the 2013 season starts. Bonkers strategy to build crowds in 2013.


Enjoy 2013, whilst you can. God knows if the club will appear in 2014 in London!

nah...his fielding isn't that bad.


so, he ed up 2011 so changes names, ed up 2012 and tried to move us and now in 2013 has already started to prepare another exuse......

Out of season floating football fan!! The SL season starts first week of Feb and finishes at home this year mid Aug

Soccer goes on until end of May

Why dont we find rugby league fans
