| I really hope commonsense wins the day on this one. Include anyone over sixty on the concession rate. This would accommodate supporters who were previously included. It will also help persuade any needy would be spritely fans out there. Surely a win win situation. Raise this with GM and/or TK directly. Two over sixties on the family ticket, then club together with friends or other fans at the Hive or from on this forum.

on the note of pricing, it's also disappointing to see that students no longer get concessions. Especially with trent park uni only down the road and have a rugby league team. also I'd like them to offer more to universities, if they don't already, there is a thriving league and take say Cambridge who are coached by Andy champ run their pre varsity training at Hull kr. There is a market there of students who will probably end up working in London.'"
Great shout about Middlesex University-Hendon and Trent Park Campuses. Maybe Harrow College and University Of Westminster - Harrow Campus and Brunel University. There really needs to be a push to get Students in to be hooked to the game and making it a popular down meeting place full of life and positivity - students are always positive as they are always drinking,ha.

| If only David Hughes had sent this message directly to the STs from last season. It is quite clear a lot that are staying away have a High Dudgeon postcode. Build bridges and build crowds, David.

| What's with the attacks on Gus, the truth is you haven't supported your club in sufficient numbers. Get a mirror out, reflect.

They have a personal vendetta with Gus. Hence the constant sniping at him in every post, and I mean EVERY post, regardless of the subject matter. Plus, a desire to put down people who think about getting to the Hive to enjoy some Super League Rugby at a new Stadium.

Who are you talking about pray tell?
If anything Paddock has taken more flak for not cutting Gus slack I'd say.

Just in general really. Why, do you know anyone who may be posting about Gus in such an incessant manner in every post they make?

I make no apologies for it.
The Hive is a nice facility but it's a nice facility for a life outside Super League.
Gus may have sufficiently lowered your expectations but he hasn't lowered mine enough to cut him slack.

| Everyone is entitled to an opinion, which is the point of a forum.
Mr Hughes has decided to defend Gus who he feels takes a lot of flak perhaps for his own shortcomings. As a chief Exec, having a lot of his tasks done for him leaves him a bit of a lame duck. I think it is just a matter of time before even DH accepts that Gus's position has become untenable.

| Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion, but to go ON AND ON about it? Everyone AGREES that Gus should be out, but our focus, IMO should be to get the team's confidence back, before it's too late. If we are going to go down, we might as well go down fighting, and who knows, we may see a few Rockys in the team.

| Back on thread.....David Hughes has said that he is to blame for the situation that unfolded from October 2013. That leaves 33 months of terrible administration that he pointedly didn't take responsibility for. I wonder who he thinks is to blame for that period of decline? Maybe he'll tell us in the next home programme?

Gus MacKay is the CEO of the London Broncos. In his 37 months in charge he has driven the club into deeper financial ruin than it was before he arrived incurring combined losses of over £6,500,000 as well as shedding 40% of the clubs attendances, 85% of the clubs season ticket holders and all he's managed to deliver is failure stacked upon failure....
By all means continue taking the happy pills and dream of thousands flocking to the hive, but in real terms, the vast majority of London broncos fans have had enough! And when I say majority, I mean more than the 800 or so who bothered at the weekend!

This happens in all sports as businesses. Eg: Spurs - Daniel Levy has spent millions over the years, yet still can't nail a spot in the Champions League places. You get the moanng Spurs fans but then you get the fans who,realise they need to back the players and give support and turn up to matches to have any influence and be the 12th man for their team,
As a London Broncos fan, the good days could be around the corner. Can't wait!

Spurs? Seriously.....spurs?
1,246 fans including maybe 246 from the north and a few Barnet lads.....and you compare it to spurs fans wanting to go to Barcelona?

| I believe quite a few Barnet fans wanted TK out also, a few years ago. Little did they know of his great vision of The Hive, despite dwindling numbers with Community astro turfs, gym facilities and medical imaging for the community also.
Things can change in Sports Business in the shortest of time periods. Can't wait for London Broncos fortunes to change for the better now we are here.

I dunno, am sure the decision making with the club funds lies with Daniel Levy, much like TK no?
