No and no. I attended two games this season, both away fixtures, both floggings at the hands of tin pot clubs, and I cannot ally myself with the 'core' support of our club any more.

7-8 years ago it was a different story. It used to be a pleasure attending games and being taken the out of by (forum username dropping clique alert) The Gob, Paddock Punter, wire quin and the like. I even met gutterfax once and he was a decent fella.

For me 2006-2012 were my favourite years supporting the club. That has all gone now and all you have left is a sorry embarrassment of a club ran by and followed by the deluded. London Broncos should have folded 3 years ago. The good times are over and will never return.

Good luck to those who still invest their time and money but I'm done.

This is the kind of crap I'm referring to.

So back to the straw poll

No, if you are ever to compete, it is not practical, unless you just wish to play lower league RL in London forever.

I'd happily put in between 0.5-1k a year but, like everyone else I suspect, I see a collective action problem - I wouldn't hand over anything until I was sure another couple of hundred fans would do likewise and that we'd get a large say in the running of the club.

I think LBSA is the vehicle to do this but, to make Hughes take notice, the LBSA needs to come to the table with £thousands and not £hundreds. No blame attached to anyone in that statement - in fact, I think nkpom et al have done a great job so far.

I am with you on the LBSA, I think that they are the way forward.
Certainly I would be prepared put my had in my pocket and contribute a reasonable amount.

Me too

If "you're done" why do you come on here to rant at the rest of us.
Let me tell you why the "deluded" come on here. It's because we love rugby league! We like being part of something! We want the game to succeed in the south! We've made many friends! There's no greater feeling than seeing your team win!
We all know the mistakes that have been made but that does it deter us. We have a decent side shaping up and an opportunity to get the club back again.
Don't want to part of that? Your choice but don't criticise those that do

No bickering is what it says. So be nice and delete this and answer the very simple set of questions.

And you complain about others derailing threads...

Can we assert few facts first.

1) Do you like Rugby League?

2) Do you want a successful team in London?

3) Do you want that team in Super League?

4) Do you want to avoid a rich mans toy?

5) Would you contribute to an organisation that gave you a voice?

6) Do You think that means 100% ownership or a % ownership and therefore a say in the running of the club?

7) If the % meant stability! more wins than losses on the pitch and increasing crowds would you be happy and your contribution was making a difference?

As a special gift you get the chance to kick the local Leyther just for the hell of it. This last one might take a few legal considerations.

Even if enough fans put in enough cash, would DH listen?
When it comes to stubbornness and ignoring people he does have form.

i suspect he would welcome a way out...........

I love RL, but I doubt fan ownership of the Broncos is a viable option right now as there's far too few of us.

A successful London Club? I guess it kinda depends on what is meant by "successful". A proper community based club can be seen as successful, where as the ersatz facade the Broncos had a few years back clearly isn't.

Theres more to life than Soopah League and a bunch of Aussie Mercenaries!

As to the fair-weather fans who've gone...well....bye!
