Life is pretty simple: You do stuff. Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works.:cartoons/WB24.gif



Extra 50 mins each way for me. Hardly the end of the world. But what promotion beyond existing supporters have the club done. Another thread to get the negatives flowing.

SR, it's hard to find the positives TBH. It would help if the club also engaged with the fans they do have. Yet another e-mail sent five days ago remains unanswered, not the first time, and no doubt not the last a026.gif

The marketing is worse than the performances on the pitch. The 'new' Broncos marketing seems to be worse than under the Harlequins. If I was David Hughes I would start getting worried about wasting his money.

the only reason the club released a statement about the transport problems was because of this forum. Fact. If only they would follow certain posters suggestions more seriously.

Heard trains buggered from waterloo - which is why Sunday at Stoop is Stoopid
Arsenal v Spurs at same time
Cup final at Wembley
We were a disgrace on the telly.
Who the hell are hudds?
Hudds only ever bring around 100 themselves
Our fans are the worst in SL

I have followed the LONDON CLUB since I was in my teensl even though born in St Helens and still live nearby and went to the first game at Fulham, also Big West Ham Supporter:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_1649.jpg



Shocked at the crowd, even with the transport problems in London, it is no excuse that the Giants only brought a small number.

A simple fact, we are simply not going to attract new supporters with a losing team, is Salford going to be an easy game after their win and then Wigan???

When is the Stoop easy to get to?? Friday, Saturday or Sunday!

My Stance on this topic remains the same....3 home games before I vent my spleen (on the evidence of yesterday....it could be very messy).....but 6,894 so far, is 11.7% up on the corresponding fixtures last year.

I seem to recall a Superleague gate of 1800 v Huddersfield at The Valley. (Frighteningly it seemed like we'd added a few on that day to me tbh.) No problems with the trains that day from memory.

Yes the transport issues will have taken a few out but the blunt truth is there are not enough people who want to watch this team to make it sustainable at the moment. It's not the name, it's not the location (we have had good enough gates at The Stoop in the past). It's people who have watched us choosing to stop coming and people who haven't watched us not choosing to try the Broncos out.

Those in power have two years to sort this or we have no team realistically.

shocking crowd today! In a way glad it was so low low, less people to wath watch the abysmal performance
Couple of points tho, why link with local am teams, open age games are played sat afternoons so the year they gave all registered players in the southern league free tickets was a pointless exercise
Transport issues! if you want to come you will get there one way or another

People will find a way around transport problems when there's something worth watching.

After the lack of effort against Hull until they were a man down i think a lot of marginal supporters will need to see the team showing they are prepared to roll up their sleeves and show they can compete before coming back. Wire was a bad performance but Hull was unforgiveable and unprofessional. Today was a chance to do that and although there was clearly more effort we were again second best. We badly need a win to get us going. I feel sorry for DH after he has pushed the boat out to get better quality players they are still letting him down.

Quote: Dave Lister "Any genuine supporter would have got there somehow. We took a taxi to the game. I hate Sunday games but if any season ticket holder decided to swerve todays game I would question their reasoning behind buying one.'"
According to Lenegan, ST holders were counted on the attendance whether or not they showed up. Still the case? I don't know.

One rationale (not one that applied to me today) for a ST holder to swerve a game is that the STs are so cheap that the cost of not using them occasionally is small.

Dire attendance though - nobody could deny that.

And, completely off-topic:
If we can't get a sponsor's name to stick on the shirts, can we please have something? A "V" would be nice but even a panel with some inspiring text would be better than the present appearance.

Hardly the sort of match that would inspire thousands to come through the turnstiles again in London so it probably was a good thing the attendance was small. Very disappointed with the away lot, or lack of them!

dont know why we moan about poor away fans attendances, they bring far more then we ever take to their matches. as for performance, we do so well to get into position for assault on try line and theres nothing but predictable passing down the line. giants probably know what we going to do before we passed. Kaufusi was worth the admission on his own today, LEGEND already a014.gif just wish other players take a leaf out of his book. why do our forwards always recive the ball static, gotta be running onto the ball at angles, none of that. alot then surely has to come down to coaching, i recall reading fitness chaps page in last programme, dont seem to do alot of field work on practice pitch, might be why we have no clue, set plays.... yeah yeah, takes time to gel, blah blah, well whats pre-season for etc... so rubbish coaching has to play a part, then surely experienced players got to come up to the plate, Powell keeps going on about leaders in the team, errrrr so where are they then, calling the plays if there are any plays, all seems off the cuff to me. i be there again for tigers match, eternal optimist, hopefully they will have had a victory by that time.

I would think Huddersfield brought many more than London bring to Huddersfield.
Also me and my wife coming down by car, it would cost us £85 - £95 inc admission and a meal, don`t know how much car park is, but assuming a £5 it is taking the best part of £100. TOO MUCH
