I was well off with a one score loss this weekend. Was hoping for better.
Hope with York is they come down a wee bit relaxed. They seem to have a pretty good squad and some good new players coming through.
30 plus for them, hope we can hit double figures.
From a game wide perspective, both TJ,s for the game are London society refs, so a small progression for Rugby League in the South.

I have a feeling that this will be close for some reason, I actually think they might win this

Have you hit Weatherspoons early Crash?
Remember last year at Ealing they were hapless and we spanked them. This year I fear the reverse. We’ll try hard and get beaten by 3 scores. Hopefully put some points on the board.

You should post this all the time


York by 10 points, Mustard to say covid, missing players, covid the dog ate homework and playing in ukranian colours to blame.
Att. 950

Would not go within 1 mile of a spoons with their soon to go off beer, and reheated microwave Junk



But I think London will win one surprise game, and for some reason I just think we might pinch this.

We will still get relegated, and still only end up with 10 or so points end of season, but I just feel they might pinch this

My thoughts are that York will target games like this as must win, if they are to make the playoffs.
As for us?
5 days to prepare with some new faces, but it's telling that we have scored only 1 x 2nd half try in all of February's 4 games and conceded 60 second half points in those games.....so whilst not getting hammered by anyone yet, we are clearly there for the taking in the last 30 minutes.

TBF at the moment any win would be a surprise!
I know what you mean about York. They’ve been talked up for a couple of seasons without being all that but I have to say they went well against Newcastle who have taken to full time like we did last year.

I see the club are offering kids tickets for rest of the season post York game for £4. Good deal which I hope brings some in.

York by 2 scores.

And if that doesn't work, next season if we are around they will pay kids £4 to turn up.

Idiots are offering 35 quid to hear mustards musings post match in the deserted platinum business club lounge......


Fire sales aren't a half way measure.

In for a quid all season to dons fans

York & Bradford strike me as being as a last throw of the dice at a proof of concept to the move....Hughes is getting ready for another dummy spit and i 100% can assure you it'll be the "fans fault" and not his idiocy

York will score 30 plus points like other clubs. Broncos to score one or two tries.

Hughes to start to get the message.

South stand is now closed for fans, so looks like they are not expecting many from York.

On the plus side at least the prices for Home and Away fans is the same now

So no fanzone/kidzone

However. Junior season ticket holders can get a free water bottle, courtesy of APX-Performance.

And kids shirts at $17.50.

Pangs of guilt, or a prior order that is now sitting in a box?

Too little too late....they'd be better off spending time looking for a suitable L1 ground for next season

The fourth pricing for kids tickets this season from memory. Utter incompetence, all involved in this should either resign or be fired. This was probably the last relaunch opportunity and they blew it that spectacularly. Wow, just wow.

In all my years of watching sport, since 1977, I honestly can't remember such a stuff up. And believe me I've been around a few bad uns. My football team went bust twice in the 80's. My non league team has been run by some total cowboys. My ice hockey team has gone bust three times and two RL teams I held season tickets at no longer exist. As an ex Broncos and Skolars season ticket holder, I fear that will soon be four.

You would appear to be a bit of a Jonah Half!!

And there was me blaming Hughes

Credit where credit is due, Broncos have stayed afloat longer than the Titanic did. Having said that, there is a whiff of the Titanic about our current situation.

Ticket sales as per website looking like 300 max as of Thursday evening. Of those, it would seem 30% are York fans.

5,000 fans in 3 years



Hughes has been sold another lemon
Edit
That bored watching whinos v wakey....counted the seats.
191 sold/taken in sections 109-103
106 sold/taken in sections 102-101
Loubser should be working on his CV........it's not going to get any better for him the longer this season goes on

Maybe they got it the wrong way around. Should be 3 fans in 5000 years. Of course we might get to 3 a lot quicker than that.

The question is, what will Hughes do when he realises that Monkey and Lobster outright bloody lied to him!
There was no need to move from Trailfinders. The corporate area never sold out, the bars were sufficient and the 3 stands were up to housing 2,500 if needed.
If you know you're going part time, stay there until the regular average attendance is 1,700........then look for potential new homes, or offer to build on the 4th side at Trailfinders.
To build your gates to 1,700, engage the local community............last local leaflet drop the club did was at Brentford. I may have mentioned this before,

but Griffin Park was the only ground we left with more fans than we arrived with!
Hughes as a long history of making bad decisions and I don't hold out for anything other than complete capitulation when we play our final home game to 300 fans before dropping into L1

Not sure counting attendances is your forte, you always seem to count low!

I get your general point mind, but I'd suggest your nearly 50% short, although that is an improvement on your Portsmouth count!

There may have been a surge of sales in the last hour or so mind. I don't think all seats in 101-102 will be York fans based on previous matches. Even for Whitehaven (when the South Stand was closed) only some of the seats were away support.

Although I'm dubious of your attendance counting, I fully agree with your targeting of the Dewsbury match. Added benefit of being a Bank Holiday weekend so keep the entertainment / refreshments rolling post match. Linking it with Newcastle 12 days later would be an idea. Friday night, approaching longest day of the year. Those two matches just have to target the local community. And rather than feel sorry about the June break, the club needs to be lining up all attendees for the July/August games.

One thing that may not have been recognised about the football supporters is a large number are not local (or even close to local). It's hard to get them visit for another sport, a large number don't even go to every football match (30% of Season Ticket holders don't attend). Some pay but never use their seats. Targeting the local community is a must, but I'm not holding my breath.

Interestingly when I looked at the start of the week it looked around 400 including a handful in the South Stand. I'm not convinced though the same seats are now sold, perhaps there have been returns!

The thing about Trailfinders is, the 980-seat new stand behind the goal only went half the width of the pitch. Extend it the full width, and replicate it at the other end if necessary (there's space to do so) and you have nearly 4,000 seats. OK, it might look a little odd compared to most stadiums but it would be more than we've averaged in the past 15 years. Then use the 'grandstand' for hospitality only, and let people stand on the other touchline as they had been. You'd be around the 6,000 mark - which is something we've never averaged.

So may of us said this again and again and again - there were a dozen issues the club needed to resolve before we even looked at the stadium.
