Quote ="Honkytonk"And in the same way would you expect someone to sign up and pay for something without knowing the direction the club intends to go in?? So the club can give no answers (which is fine, if it does not know it does not know) but I will still pay out anyway?. When the club can start to give answers about where it is going, what its future plans are, then maybe I will join. Is that not reasonable??'"
Absolutely not, which is why we didn't ask people to leave their money in the club against a season ticket for next season, something I was lambasted for and, by one person, called thick. Imagine what I would be getting called now had we offered season tickets and then people find out the season is not starting? We are trying to do the right thing by people.
The SC is a supporters group that has already grown to numbers bigger than I expected in 3 weeks and will, I am sure, update members of the items discussed in the initial meeting. I will be updating everyone who purchased this week on their packages and some additional benefits that have arisen since it was advertised. The committee have had one meeting, a few days ago, and people are already shouting for minutes, websites, social media, constitutions etc. Give them a chance to organise themselves. As I have just said anyone who has joined will receive an update from me soon and then I'm sure one from the committee soon after.
The London Broncos are not going anywhere and the SC is there to assist the club. A very separate issue to the question I posed which was why are people so hell bent on the club signing players when the likelihood is we will not be starting the season during the normal months and some additional costs are coming our way through the next lockdown?
If you want to know more about the SC why don't you email me to discuss, I am very approachable and happy to answer your questions on that or any of the clubs current fundraising efforts.
