Strange justification for moving.
It's pretty well documented that Broncos preferred game slot is Saturday 3pm, and the community game play on a Saturday in London, which means a good many of them can't make Broncos games. And if they've played on a morning, even if it's within reasonable distance, they are less likely to watch a SL game in the afternoon anyway as then the entire day would be taken up with RL and mum and dad often have other ideas. The numbers playing community Rugby League in London & the South are decent but it's not the answer to Broncos attendance worries, nor are there enough of them that if every single player in the entire community game came there still wouldn't be over 2k.
Yes, some junior players and adult amateur players go to watch Super League, but not a significant number. The number of free/cheap/dirt cheap season ticket deals over the years have shown that being a junior team player and a Super League fan aren't the same thing.
