Why have the club stopped letting everyone know what is happening on matchdays?

We had a good band at the last game and the away fans I met loved it in the bar and didn't have a clue that we have music after our games.

We should be putting this info on our website and not take it for granted that everyone knows what is going on (our after-match party used to be well-attended and there's been some great times although admittedly when we've had a win).

Furthermore, we used to get the info out to our oppo clubs and they used to put it on their websites.

If people don't know we have stuff going on, they won't come, simple as that.

It is not sufficient to put this stuff on Facebook (and that has only been occasional). Not everybody uses Facebook.

Come on Broncos. Get it sorted.

Oh and BTW, I would actually have posters at the ground on matchday too...costs nothing and may get us a few extra punters in the bar.

Exactly right. On the few times that I have stayed after the final whistle, I have had a ball. I really do think that giving info to visiting teams, a while in advance, would get a few more through the turnstiles wanting to make a day of it.

We have had a band at pretty much every game since we've been at the stoop

I was suprised at how few stayed after the Cas win.

Get the players back on stage after the game aswell

That's right, Darth but it's the best kept secret in the league (and only Widnes come close to what we lay on).

Yes, we know the reasons why the player presentations have stopped but it's a mistake. We should at least have some interviews with players especially when we get a win.

Of all clubs in the league, we need to find other ways of getting punters through the door and preferably spending.

Why did the presentations stop?

The players didn't like doing it when they lost.

Fair enough I suppose.

Well they have had enough practise to get used to it.........I know I bloody well have......

Oh look. Another thread having a go at the club. But this time it's not about the players, coach, David Hughes or about you tube. It's about non-match entertainment. Apparently WE SHOULD be putting this on our website and designing and printing posters.

Clearly we should

To be honest I don't stick around for the party as I'm a real ale drinker and move off. However, they always used to have posters around the entrance to the away end advertising the post match party and plug it over the PA. I have no idea if the posters are now AWOL and can't remember if they are plugging it over the PA. If they aren't they do deserve criticism. The cost of running up a couple of A4 posters and plugging it over the tannoy and website would be covered by one extra away fan buying one pint realistically. People are paid to get the little things right, such as signing the right number of imports and advertising the match day events to away fans.

Of course they should bluddy well be putting it on their website! How the blimmin hell do you suppose that people coming to the games (or those thinking of coming) are to know what goes on at a game? The great stuff our club puts on at a game needs to be advertised, thats all.

This wasn't meant as a having a go at the club but just a reminder for the new regime that not everyone automatically know that we have a bar or an after match party.

You obviously don't read many of my posts if you think I'm the sort that just likes to slag off the club. You've got it wrong this time mate.

Oh and how friggin difficult would it be to have a poster at the turnstiles telling people what goes on? I'm not talking about anything that would take a lot of work, just a simple schedule of events.

We are not Wigan or Leeds that can just take someones money off them for 80 minutes of rugby league and send them home (sadly).

Nothing personal geezer. Timing wise it just reads like another pop at the club.

Is this a recent occurence? How many games has it been happening for? Let us know if there aren't any posters at the next game.



Did you know NRL clubs have people working purely on social media for them. A luxury we can't afford. I daren't suggest it as GF will be on the case.

Pesonally, I don't give a flying one if the NRL have 35 social media mangers per club...it has no standing when it comes to the Broncos and their inability to attract a crowd.
Veiled digs at my stance on the total fkkkkup that is marketing at the club don't work RB,,,,,in case you missd the meeting where it was agreed, I DON'T DO SUBTLE!



Matchday at the stoop was always one of the best in the league...a real selling point when it came to getting "neutrals" to come along, as the bands were always good and the craic was, as we say in Ireland, 90! Players mixed with fans, everyone got on and win lose or draw, a good time was had by all................fast forward to now and yet again, the ball seems to have ben dropped.......
1,500 on Saturday night anyone?

No veiled dig. NRL clubs have staff and the resources to do certain things that we can't. I thought you may like to have a pop at the broncos for not sorting that out and to add to your list of requirements of what we should be doing.

Surely sending our fans home sadly is the one thing that is happening...

Geezer suits me v well

Anyhoo, no not a recent occurrence. I asked Broncos facebook whether we had a band a couple of games back and they responded eventually that we did, but they didn't put it on Broncos website.

Could be that they don't know what's happening 'til the last minute...I am well aware that practically everyone in our club is doing the job that 3 people would be doing at other clubs (apart from one or two on the pitch!)

Sorry Dan but I will never buy into that excuse, as a "business" one thing unique about any sporting club is that there will always be a core group of people more than willing to assist their club for no wage in order to help out resource wise. Website work especially [due to it's non location dependance is an area the club would always [and used to get assistance in if they only but asked and had a volunteer co-ordinator to manage it. Even in the days of SAG though there was always felt to be a mistrust sometimes of their own supporters, or even a "they are only supporters so how could they be trusted to do it" mentality, which is pretty damn odd as in every crowd on matchdays there will be professionals from every walk of life, who if asked, would help out using their talents wherever they could, and yup, that even includes marketing. For all his warbling preaching to the converted on here [waste of his fingers Gutterlax could and would have helped this club for a pretty damn small ROI.

There are so many areas that supporters could assist in [coaching





Seriously though, it sounds as if they are too proud to ask these days. It saddens me to hear this and it's amazing what you can achieve when you ask. My daughters small school asked us to use our particuler talents to help raise money at the Easter fair last Saturday. Over $30,000 raised and well run, because they they asked and then used the right people in the right areas to make it work. Nothing complicated just a lot of passion and work, of which our supporters have in bucket loads.

Purdham Testimonial went OK with a small group of volunteers (and bu55er all from the club)

Dead straight Homer. I never wanted to turn a bob or 2 out of the club as I did with other "customers" I genuinely care about the club getting it right and my warbling and preaching are only caused by a sense of utter frustration and despair at the continued fkcing up of almost everything at the club.

I also would say that if the prople at the club are asked to juggle a number of tasks and find themselves unable to do so, then it's time they buggered off to pasture new.....apparently the 02 arena have a history of taking on waifs and strays in their marketing department

Which was mainly down to a direct relationship between alcohol and having fun



, thinking of the efforts people like Barry Underwood, Dave Fiddler, Jane {Junior Broncs and Alison among others used to put in to assisting the club though and the fun we all had doing it, makes it all the more sad that the club cut those ties in an instant when we moved back to the Stoop, and as Paddock says, the will is still there to assist today, but the club just does not seem to want that input.'"

Good turnout in the Kings Bar after the game on Saturday, considering the low turnout and the fact that Wakey fans had (quite reasonably) gone home. The win obviously major factor.

We had a good guitarist/singer in the bar and as usual, it wasn't advertised on the web-site or fbk.

Not expecting any entertainment on Thursday or for the Dewsbury game, but when we next have something going on at the game would be good to see it flagged up on our and the oppo's website, as well as fbk (surely only a few minutes work and costs nothing).

I live in hope that someone gets the message (you know it makes sense!).
