well you have your answer mate, we are going because we are fans!
Its called supporting your club, funny enough that's what folk do.

It's what some folk do. There are plenty of proper fans who have just had an absolute gutful of the club and cannot bear the idea of watching a completely uncompetitive team being repeatedly hammered while being held in complete contempt by those who run the club. The club can hardly expect to receive support in those circumstances.

IF many northern clubs where as negative as some here, rugby league would have died years ago!

jaybs with you on that one, in fact most of the kickball clubs would have gone under.
As for the ones who have had a gutful of the club, give up then! don't bother! but don't come on here whinging about how bad the crowds are!
I for one will be there supporting my club

I will rephrase my last comment "that's what folk do" lets say "that's what supporters do"

Pot, kettle.

I think lots of RL 'fans' in the S.E. like to find reasons to justify the fact they can't be bothered to get off their sofa and go and support the local SL team.

You can kid yourself all you like that Hemel, Oxford or Skolars are 'doing it the right way'. But I can't see any of them being a top flight club in the next 20 years.

Broncos are important, but if you prefer semi-pro RL or watching SL on the sofa that's fair enough. But don't kid yourself that there's a justification for it on the basis that the club's not very good. You're part of the problem.

Sadly not. They are separate memberships, so a hefty £44 spond will be leaving my bank account from next month. I had some ideas about how each club could get fans to the other's games as part of a deal. Will also mention this next time.

Really? Supporting Skolars, Hemel or Oxford makes one part of the problem at Broncos.

And there I was thinking it was down to diabolical management.

If anyone is part of the problem it is those who clap the team off after yet another tonking and will accept any old garbage put on the paddock because one is not a supporter otherwise.

Hmmm. I think point being made is semi pro is fine but they are not going to suddenly replace a SL team and form the pinnacle in the South.
