Are you pleased with the squad?

And another thing, all this look forward with brave hearts and blind faith and no looking back. Surely we learn lessons from history. What no one has really explained is how the f we got into the mess we were in at the end of last season.

So what?

I don't think anyone is pleased as we sure are lacking good experienced players. I think if this deal had been sorted earlier before other matters at the RFL etc. sidetracked things we would have got better players who the club had lined up. However, s**t happens and we are where we are as a result. We are certainly not going to finish in the top eight this season so just avoiding relegation is the target. (Should please people who want to see something at stake) If we get a few more experienced players such as is being discussed we may pull it off. Next season we will really have to get better if we stay up as the worst 2 teams will have gone so lets just win this battle first. Of course under the new 8x8x8 format we'd be playing off against the best in the championship then so maybe it wouldn't be the end of the world even though a bit scary for those of a nervous disposition.

What are these other matters at the RFL that sidetracked things. The club brought the whole mess on themselves!

Paddock, I am really disappointed that we lost assets like Lee, Soward, Clubb, Melling, Kaufusi, Fisher, Bryant & Bailey from the squad and the Youth coaches plus Steve on the PR side.

There's also a lot of hardworking folk whose contribution would be hard to evaluate from outside the club who have also gone who it is a shame to see go.

But we have also shed staff and players from a regime that has seen us in the bottom three since 2007 so we have also got rid of liabilities and also the Stoop which I was fed up with, though I appreciate it was on your doorstep.

And in fairness many of these assets were predetermined to go with offers from the two trophy winning clubs and in some cases a mind already set on retirement.

So the losses in many cases were inevitable.

I'm not delighted with what has gone on but whatever your thoughts on Gus, David, Tony K and Tony Rea and the Hive and the players they are all we have and we have to move forward or be cancerous cells that attack the host to the detriment of it.

For man with no forgiveness in heart, life is worse punishment than death

Selco is less than 30k a year.......that's the sponsorship cash dealt with, first team costs including travel and a com are well above 1.85
David Hughes is not dropping 2 mill a year any more
The stoop was 200k a year not 325k
The new contributor is currently RECEIVING cash an investing nothing.......he's even on the take from the RFL for marketing FFS!
Surprised at the amount on here prepared to swallow the spin being rolled out

Stoop not on my doorstep. Don't know about your philosophy heroes but. Those who follow blindly will probably bump into something, or step in a pile of sh*t.

There is a tendency to look at the one year rather than the buy in to the future. The idea is an incentive for the following year. Personally I doubt it and quite frankly that it will probably be the full stop that is coming at the end of 2014.

Not really. It just means other senses are POSITIVELY hightened. With even positive guidance from a Guide Dog/Walking Stick to still live a happy and progressive life, no matter the obstacle. Just ask David Blunkett.

Stay Positive Broncos! Can't wait for a positive team and atmosphere at The Hive

All depends on two big signings, if they are big enough we could stay up!

There would have been more fans at the forum if it hadn't been on at the same time as the Hemel game.

I thought it was good of them to just come clean and say yeah we messed up, we've learned the lesson the hard way and now we're actively going out to communicate with people.

2/3 more potential signings on the way and TK sounding genuinely enthusiastic, at least give them a year in the new surroundings with different people on board in an intimate stadium more suited to London current fan base.

I know London are not my team but I care a lot about the club, GF I know you're aware of everything that is wrong about the club and no one is asking you to stick your head in the sand but seriously just being negative all the time isn't doing anyone any favours. Everyone is aware the club is still in the crap, but they don't need it ramming down their throats.
London are starting again from scratch, they need all the positivity they can get.

Many there? Sounds like it was terrible weather!

271. There was even a Broncos drummer.

Around 250. Broncos fans even had a drum. Wind, rain and mud. The boys (one 16 year old) did well against a strong Hemel team.

.......he'll be welcome at the Hive!

So long as he's not sat next to me!!

What I want to know is why season tickets for the youth have increased by 100% on last year. Why have we moved to a 5000 stadium and accepted a financial deal which looks worse than at any time in the past? Why did Gus over 12 months ago decide to move from the stoop and make the announcement before the season started and thereby setting the scene for mediocrity. IMHO we have been sold a very bad deal, smashed the youth set up, lost the trust of many supporters, and then state be positive with the track record of the current management! Dead men walking but more importantly, why is Gus still employed when he has failed so badly in the past other than bring the club to its knees? Until he goes I cannot see any positive change for the future other than preparation for the championship.

A very simple question which may or maynot have been asked directly to AK. The revenue being generated by membership, use of the ground, bars etc from London Broncos tenure at the Hive; will any of it be put back into the Broncos? To me, this is a crucial question. If it has a constructive or a positive answer it may silence some of the critisms coming the way of this move.

There's a own word answer to that and it begins with N.

No now but if AK sees that this rugby league lark can catch on and London Broncos are viable perhaps he will put his hand on his pocket.

We used to pay Harlequins Rugby Union Club £25,000 per game. They also pocketed the bar takings. They charged a fiver for parking and creamed off whatever else they could with rip-off vendors placed within the Stadium wanting the best part of six quid for a basic takeaway out of a burger van with a polystyrene tray. Don't forget that the Bar charged over £4 a pint to drink a very limited selection of beers out of a plastic glass with more or less nowhere to sit in the main bar.

We used to train a public park and could not access many of the more advanced facilities that were available to their own club.

We now pay Barnet FC £0 per game. True, they pocket the bar takings. They charge £1 for parking and charge reasonable prices and have a fully stocked bar with a wide range of food and drink at fair prices. If Kleanthous makes some money from the deal that's great, it might entice him in to take over, which is something the club badly needs.

We now have effectively our own Stadium as a training ground and one for match days fully stocked with good facilities and nothing is off limits.

If people are desperate to put something in, then all the players are available for sponsorship and this will go to the Broncos. Last time I checked only Will Lovell and Matt Cook were sponsored.

I will certainly be putting in as much as I can afford to help make the deal work, that is for sure.

I suspect some commentators on here would be happy for the club to go providing it takes Gus also and will complain whatever happens, but true support is not a one time thing it is an all time thing.
