No, sorry, I mean the middle 3 blocks of the East (c. 1300 seats?) and West (c. 1400 seats?). Do I understand correctly that these blocks are for season ticket holders only?

Know idea but I am sure someone will post the answer, shortly.

Its a free for all isn't it? Ludicrous that these details aren't clear.

The reason that it is a "free for all" is because ST holders are to be encouraged to bring loads of "newbies" to games....if I have a reserved seat and I am a ST holder, my "newbies" do not get to sit with me, as there are other reserved seats surounding me.

I repeat, email or call Gus and express your concerns about this, but as I understand it, if a ST holder brings a certain amount of newbies along over the course of the 2012 season, then they will get a ST in 2013 for 50 quid

When they did the launch they gave the address as "chiefexec@londonbroncosrl.com" , I wrote to him on that address on 03.11.11, and as yet have to receive a reply. Others have said he's a good listener, it would appear he needs to work on the other aspect of conversing

It is chiefexec@londonbroncosrl.com. I have spoken to him about saving Buck & Dusty he said nothing doing. But he changed his mind after a few people asked him to. He is our version of the 'listening bank' if your idea has any merit he will listen.

Gus.Mackay@londonbroncosrl.com is where I send my thoughts. Listy, I can see that some would like to have an assured seat whilst others aren't that fussed. Every time I have brought someone to a game, I have tried to sit with them and explain the in's and out's of the game as it unfolds, something I would not be able to do if I was going to sit in my allocated seat. As I have said, there is an incentive for ST holders to bring new people and get 50% off the 2013 ST cost and as such, there are no allocated seats as this would prevent these newbies from sitting with the invitee. The Stoop holds 14,800 and change.......we average about 21% of that.....there will be plenty of seats. A quick glance at the stadium view would show about 8k seats between the 40 meter lines alone....and given we have only had 1 or possibly 2 attendances of that size in the SL era, it's not really a problem as such, more a reason to have a moan.

I also e-mailed with no reply, but seems pretty clear now from discussion on here that seating will be a free for all arrangement.

yep.....and with 1,100 ST holders fighting for the 3,000 seats on half way or the 2,500 either side before the 40 meter line, let's hope the club have extra stewards in riot gear ready
I don't particularly have a problem with the arrangement but was just trying to understand the differences between the ticket options. More than happy to save the money as once the West Stand was open I didn't use my allocated seat last year. However, info on the packages was somewhat confusing and needed clearing up. Folks on here have done that now.

Gutters, we all understand the numbers game. That isn't why we think this is a bad idea and you know it. It isn't difficult to accommodate everyone. Even 2 allocated blocks would have done nicely. How many other professional sports teams have offered their seating in this way? I would be shocked if it was above 0.

At the end of the day the club has dropped abollock on this one. No one thought it through. Two blocks on the halfway line unallocated at a premium rate would have been fine, then if you want to bring your mates and pay a bit more no problem. I suspect that the prison warder is on holiday after building up to the enormous announcement last wek and when he gets back hopefully he will sort this out.

GF you don't know the half of it will pm you soon.

I have to agree.

I genuinely expected a fully-functional, multi-featured website to be unveiled on the launch day. The club are selling themselves as something different to Harlequins RL but aside from the new name and badge, what's new? I'm a fan and even I'm getting less excited about 2012 with each passing day. Where's the big coverage of the launch event? Where are the interviews with coaching staff, new players etc.? Why isn't the website trying to sell us a team that could be play-off contenders? Why aren't the likes of Robertson, Gower, Kaufusi etc. being paraded? (I'll overlook the fact that the website isn't actually selling us much by way of merchandise while the launch is still fresh in our minds). In short, how is the club building towards generating 5000+ optimistic LBRL fans at Round 1 of 2012?

There are massive problems with the club's online presence. Frankly, londonbroncosrl.com screams amateur - technically and in terms of (a complete lack of) content. Hughes must be ready to write off about £2.5m over the next 3 years; if he were willing to lift that to £3m, he could get a web developer and a database developer in to turn the website into something that can sell the club.

I signed up for an e-newsletter. Haven't had one yet. The first one should have been sent out within days of the launch and they should be weekly thereafter - you can fill them with any old , it's the contact with supporters that's important. I thought the launch event was great BTW but it is already a fading memory as nothing is being built on top of it.

But back to the ticketing. The ticketing is not only a communications problem but also a technical problem with the software - I'm still waiting for an email reminder of my password otherwise I might have signed up for a season ticket by now. Harlequins RL made it difficult for customers, likewise London Broncos it seems.

To add some enthusiasm to the thread I am getting more and more excited about next season. I ordered the ‘We’re Back’ t-shirt and it looks good. The logo looks good and I am sure the new top will look great on the field.

The squad looks so much better than last year and if Gower doesn’t fire straight away we have options. In fact we options and competition for all places. This year we kept all our best players from the youth system. This is a team that should make the playoffs. If our creative players spark and we can bring up one or two more quality youth players we should be looking for 5th or 6th and a home playoff game.

The club did the right thing launching the new ‘brand’ in the week before Wembley but not rushing a poor website. Admitting it wasn’t ready will give us another launch pt. The new players won’t be in the country so they won’t be on display till they arrive for preseason training. Again another chance for press coverage.

The futures bright… the future is black, blue and a hint of silver.
