which I don't think is too dissimilar to the thoughts of AK in regards to 2015 and beyond.....which dove tails nicely into the question that was asked by email but not answered at the forum.

"What is the long term strategy for London broncos as a professional RL club and have plans been put in place to cope with relegation (should it happen) and the reduction in funding that comes with it"?

Given your knowledge of RL and the Broncos management what do you think the answer to that question is?

TAKE YOUR PICK...

What's Strategy?
What's a Plan?
There's relegation this year


What's a "reduction in Funding"?

...OR QUITE POSSIBLY, ALL OF THE ABOVE

If you view Broncos as an elaborate tax dodge and not a professional sports team then David Hughes is a misunderstood genius.

Without wishing to go all Gutterfax on you all the 2nd Salford fans forum drew 2000 fans, the 2nd Broncos fans forum drew 50 fans.

There is nobody involved in our club with any hunger or drive to grow the support and sponsor base and it's a big problem.

Mainly because it was held at a time when Gus would only have to front up to happy clappers.

There's too much going through the motions and not enough push. I want to see what the bloke at Bristol did at the RLWC selling 7k tickets to mostly locals in a non-RL area, or the bloke at St Albans that sold 700 tickets for the RLWC semis on his own, or Martin Vickers at Salford who is just pushing and pushing everything.

We just hold a fans forum and hope people turn up, or occasionally give some tickets out to a junior club.

Dont think paddock would be happy being called a happy clapper!
club are damned for not having a forum and now they are damned for having one!
timing of the forum was so gus would not have to face many, intersting concept it was around the time of day and on the same day we play games, when would have been better?

They definitely were right to hold it, but maybe a bit of enthusiasm to get people to attend would have been an idea?

Were you their?
I agree more folk would have been good, but not everyone wants to be involved in that sort of thing, they just want to watch rugby

No I wasn't there. They didn't sell the event to me well enough. It sounded a bit dull. Unlike the Salford day which sounded brilliant.

So you would happily have listened to the doc witter for half an hour? What did you want fireworks, dancing girls, hoola hoop performers. You cant really complain about the numbers if you did not come yrself just coz it was not sparkly enough for you.

50 fans at London, 2,000+ at Salford and you'd prefer we didn't discuss numbers

What's the source of your 2,000+ ?

I doubt you'd get 2000+ in this room at The Hive and also trying to figure where Salford hosted this Q&A in front of 2000+ fans if not in a stand at their ground. But if Hemel weren't playing the Broncos 'Select XIII' on the same day I'd have been down and made it 51 but in all reality I just want to watch the rugby.

You'd rather try to pour scorn/doubt my numbers from Salford that deal with the lower number at the Hive?



SOURCE:


Tin Pot is a good way to describe the way the club has been run over the last few years.....I suspect that after a bit of bluster and "new thing" enthusiasm this year, normal apathetic service will be resumed at London Broncos.

Gf again a post not aimed at you, and you cherrypicking bits to quote.
tre commented on numbers at a forum that he openly would have attended if it had been more appealing.
whinging about attendees when you cant be ar@€d attending yrself is not going to get any sympathy.
who gives a damn how many went to salford forum in 2 years time if they have not done what the dr wants and he walks then they will be back down to 50

Moi?


I'd be thankful if I knew we were going to be there next year, let alone in 2 years time

So there is no source for 2,000+. Thanks.

I showed you my source. If you doubt it's validity, ask Tre where he got the number from.
Word to the wise, being a pedant won't win you any debates. Big a pig headed pedant even fewer

Yep cherry picking, the context of my post was complaining about numbers at a forum when you could not be bothered to turn up is a bit lame.
I was not bigging up or critisising numbers.
The words you chose to quote changed that!

Your personal abuse brings nothing to this or any other argument. Please desist.

If concentrating on accuracy rather than exaggeration makes me a pedant, then so be it.

Your source for "2,000+" actually said "2,000".

In fact, I suspect that Tre got his figure from a man not prone all to exaggeration, Dr Koukash. And what did Dr Koukash say? You look it up. But far from being 2,000+, it was less than 2,000.

My point is that almost no effort was made to get as many people new and old to this event and use it as a way to sell the club.

There were 2000 people at the Salford open day (according to lots of sources at the club and from fans of the club and I've seen pictures) and only about 50 at ours (according to Ian Ramsdale and other fans who were there).

My point is as much about the comparison in effort to make it a powerful event. We made no effort to sell ours and make it well attended they made a HUGE effort.

Does anyone make an effort when they're paying lip service?

BTW did anyone ask Gus about the data breach?

Sure, not arguing with any of that, only with gutters over-egging his pud.
