Quote: Punos "I work in London full time, a lot of my work colleagues are Londoners and those that follow rugby follow RU, we have had this conversation a many times and although they watch the Rugby League on TV mainly when I am on shift and have it on, they also quiet enjoy it but would never go to watch it live.
Just the way it is, they are just not interested in RL just has its been said.
Shame but that is just how it is.
The RFL would be better promoting Milton Keynes or somewhere like that.'"
I'm in exactly the same boat re colleagues and friends. Still trying to persuade them to come to wembley.
I do agree with Graham Richards about making it a community thing. I've been saying for a while the broncos should play in the east end, Leyton/Stratford way. Thanks to the Olympics the transport links are excellent and far more accessible than the stoop. What's equally interesting is the demographics of the area. A predominately working class population and close enough to attract interest from
Essex folk, who are far more likley to watch RL than west London people. There really is genuinely strong amateur set up down here too. I've met people involved and whatever happens with the broncos RL will continue here as the Skholars are in good shape according to these very broncos employees I was speaking too a few months ago.
Terrible miss management and poor marketing yes but they just need to focus on one area and spread the message. And make it a working class one. But in my opinion this can take place while they drop down a division and rebuild ala Crusaders in wales.
Just the thoughts of an average fan anyway
