If London Broncos get more than 10 points this season, I will circumcise myself and staple my foreskin to my forehead

How's that disagreeing? 10 points is 5 wins. Not enough, but still wins....

Will you take the stance of only attending away games? That way you still support the sport and players without contributing to the wrongs at home?

| Good facility. Team much better than I expected. Moore very good.
Downside was that 4 of the membership seats our group bought were taken by the Salford coaching staff and a technical guy. Opposite us on the same row other members were moved to make way for the timer which was strapped to the back row seats.
At least we could drink in the seats in the west stand.

Never mind all that, you are robbing the club and you hate the players!
I normally resist the urge to indulge in personal insults on these forums, but the ideas expressed about you denying the club your money are f@ckwittery of the highest order.

We're all denying the club our money.

| How did this get to a have a dig at Paddock thread (who turned up to the Fans Forum the other week by the way)? His opinion is shared by many long term supporters - I noticed a core of great supporters absent from the game today, and several who were there have not bought membership and will see how things pan out.
I've had many people tell me that the way the club treated its players and staff after last season was the last straw for them. We've decided to buy memberships and renew player sponsorship but I totally respect those who have had enough and completely empathise with why they're doing it.
The good news is that we can win them back - they want to come back - but the bad news is I fear that the future of the club does not reside in Barnet FC and we'll have to work together to recover the soul of our club.

Logical posts (or comments at games) were never the strongpoint!

| Through the gates of the tube station and you almost fall into the ground. Facilities are fine, decent bars, range of beers, good view in your seat or the one you end up in! Pitch is approx 10 metres short but if there is a future, scope to expand. Good crowd around us but Brian Noble cusses all the time. Team played the full 80 and some positives in the performance. It will be a long hard season, development rather than success, though maybe the odd win. Didn't see any sheep.
However, why no stall selling memberships or whatever? Why no posters for future games or offers? Where is all the memorabilia from the stoop? Still a way to go before it's home.

And what loyalty do you think the players would show to the supporters if the were offered a better contract at another club NONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. The players are only doing the same as you and me doing the job they are paid for.

| If you have had enough clear off and stop boring those of us who care.
Best game of rugby i've seen in a while in London. A pleasure to see so many young players compete against an experienced side.
I saw plenty of familiar faces today and to be honest it is disappointing to read that fans like Paddock are holding such grudges because of certain individuals.

Telling people who are potential sources of income for the club to clear off?
Great strategy for growth. Even Gus hasn't resorted to that one.

| To the person whose seat Noble took - did you ask him to move? Did you ask one of the stewards to move him?
To the person who said Noble swore a lot - did you report him to a steward?
Surely that's what people are encouraged to do these days?

| From an away fans perspective I loved The Hive, right next to the tube and a small, compact ground with great views.
I was also impressed by the efforts of your young team, they kept going for the full 80 and they'll only get better with experience. I hope that they can give you a few wins this year after your awful off-season.
Must give a mention to the staff at Moranos by Canons Park tube, they were most welcoming to the Salford fans in there.
I sincerely hope that we'll be back next year although in all honesty I very much doubt it. Always enjoy chatting with London fans and yesterday was no different; all the very best.

| Quote ="Paddock Punter"So what sane person who cares deeply about Rugby League, the London Club and it's importance (IMHO) to the growth of the game of a London club in Super League would blindly accept the current situation?'"
I have no idea. Who are these people?
I do know that there are a lot of unhappy fans who are still going to the Hive and enjoying the rugby/atmosphere/banter. These fans are realistic enough to know that they have very little influence on the running of the club but they probably realise that attending games is a little more likely than not to increase the chances of the Broncos continuing into 2015. I suppose many of them understand that Gus has been useless but I rather doubt that any of these fans can have a negative view of Tony Kleanthous or hope for anything less than him raking in enough £££ so that he might take us forward after David Hughes.
Then there are the handful of 'sane' fans that you talk of who care so deeply for the future that they would rather see Gus go down with a sinking ship than countenance the fact that Gus is still being paid by David Hughes, even if it is to do very little. But here is the key question: Do these sane fans believe that boycotting the games is more or less likely to deliver us a club in 2015?
Despite that, I have the utmost respect for the views of these disillusioned supporters. I just think these folk are cutting off their nose to spite their face. Continue agitating for change but do that on Monday to Friday. On the weekends, get down to the Hive and enjoy some rugby league in the sunshine in what is a perfect venue for a club with our current support base. Please - do come back because I can't see that you are getting much out of the sport by letting your (understandable) anger at a couple of individuals spoil your Saturday afternoons.
