Jaybs wrote in response to my earlier post -

POINT 1 'The change back to being London Broncos has nothing to do with it,' How do you know?

POINT 2 'there were never that many posting here.' Fair enough, though there used to be more. As shown by

POINT 3 'Yes it has dropped a little again this season but when you start from a low base there is not far you can drop!' Again, fair enough. Although as I'm sure GF would be happy to confirm, if you 'drop a little' from a low starting point, that is a greater percentage drop than dropping the same 'little' from a higher starting point. Which is actually even more cause for concern.

burn the witch.....

I stopped giving a monkey's so hardly bother to read let alone post.

What else is there to say?

Point One. The majority backed the change of name in a club poll, Fact!

Point Two. There were more posting here back in the day's of the Original London Broncos, Fact!

Point Three. We have dropped in regular posters this season, Fact!

The first thing you are taught in marketing, as you will know you can make figures say anything you
want just extract what you want! but Fact! even for the Number One in marketing (whoever that maybe) is even hard to argue.

Seems like someone enjoyed a few too many Mallinsons yesterday

Interesting....I thought the decision to change the name of the club was made by David Hughes and the fans were polled regarding potential names......do you have as link to any official story regarding the need for a name change being decided upon by a fans poll?

well spotted...we had more fans at games back then too

Yep....we have less fans this season too as the weeks have gone by....

Long term fans have given up..........the club hve lost the plot....but we'll have the results of the review to look forward to, so that's something.

I understand Lord Lucan is conducting the review.

Are we having trouble tracking down a link to the =#FF0000FACT cove that you clearly stated was a =#FF0000FACT

'Morning Jaybs, I'd just like to inform you that the change in name (for whatever reason) having an effect on attendances was not my idea. A month or two ago, in a different thread, someone mentioned the possibility of a number of former Harlequin ST Holders not returning this year. I hadn't thought about it up until then, but the theory matched my East Stand experiences as mentioned earlier. Where do we go from here?

2,783 is the average attendance for the London Broncos in 2012 with 5 games to go.

We were awarded a 3yr licence with the warning that we needed to do something about the crap attendances at the Stoop.....39 home games to get the averages up from 3,100.

We have had 20% of those 39 home games......we have lost 11% of our fan base

Blame Powell, Blame the ex-marketing Manager, Blame the CEO, Blame the Chairman, Blame the Re-Brand or Blame me if you like.....guess what?

2,783 is the average attendance for the London Broncos in 2012 with 5 games to go.

Like the new dimension of colour!

perhaps this is what the club is missing in it's emails and postings? have you suggested or advised them?

Sorry I had not responded, but unfortunately my life does not rotate around the internet and the forum, I have other things I want to do not sat at a laptop 24/7

The FACT is the poll selected to return to the original name of LONDON BRONCOS, whatever we may think majority tends to confirm a decision, often choices are made in life that I may not agree with, but I was a kid when I last used to want to take my ball home with me, if I didn't get my own way! Just can't understand why we can't move on instead of debating it over and over again, it has happened that is it! Personally I never liked being London Crusaders and the stupid Daily Express type logo, but I accepted it.

Did the poll select London Broncos?



The club colours are London Knights colours. (Were they the US football team?)

Whoevers idea/fault it is that we are London Broncos now really doesn't matter....we are where we are and we aren't going to revert back to Quins anytime soon (why would a successful club like Quins want to be associated with a failing one like ours anyway?).

The number of people posting on this site seems down to me. Posters such as PTB have disappeared completely and others like Gob, Stevel and Big G rarely post anything (Bring back Albert Rosenfeld)

I think there is general apathy setting in because of yet another crap year on the pitch, plus there really isn't much to say now the play-offs are gone. Furthermore, I do think a lot of stuff on here is tedious in the extreme...so much waffle about marketing and attendances that I find a complete turn-off.

Please can talk about something interesting like potatoes?

Did you get anything to replace your Jersey Royals? Have you tried growing your own spuds? Dead easy and tastes so much better when the spuds you're eating have been taken from your own garden! You won't get fresher!

Thanks for the tip, Rob.

Haven't tried the Cornish pots from M & S yet.

The Jersey Royals are like London Broncos.............they continue to let us down!

This is getting boring Guys, I don't like potatoes!

Not as boring as the constant tirade about attendances and marketing!

Are you a swede man, jaybs? Or do you stick to the carb free leafy green veg? We should be told!

You obviously haven't tried 'Kerrs Pinks' or Sainsburys 'Taste the Difference' Anyas. By the way, wasn't there a whole thread about spuds on here a while ago? It's not just the club that's losing the plot.

So...the FACT is now only TENDING TO CONFIRM?

Are you making this up as you go along?
You clearly stated that it was a FACT that the fans wanted the name change......when in reality, the majority of fans asked to select a name, did so in selecting a return to the London Broncos, BUT ONLY AFTER THE DECISION TO CHANGE THE NAME WAS MADE BY THE CLUB

Can't comment on Spuds...Mrs G has me on a Non-Carb diet to shed the Kilos piled on die the binning of the ciggies...

Yes I do like my greens! green beans, broccoli, cauliflower and peas!

You love to labour a point Gutterfax, the fans were given a choice to select the name of the club and they choose LONDON BRONCOS that is the end of it! matter closed, it was by a very large majority, of course David Hughes has the right the money he has pumped in, would not Any businessman do the same.

If I was David Hughes. I would pay you to come over for six months, to shut you up once and for all and to see the proof is in the pudding, but a problem maybe, would anyone be able to work with you would be the question? if you are so the same as you treat the forum? I seriously doubt it. Perhaps a money back guarantee? you do what you have been telling us all for ages and come up with all the good! if you don't No Money and you repay the air fair, seems only right, put your money were your Mouth is!

FACT........fish finger sandwiches are the best........not the alleged mashed potatoe and gravy abomination suggested by Homer

Mrs from Erith always rates Cyprus potatoes - but then she's from there so she's biased!

This is still a lie........I'll labour the point all I like. You declared a FACT that was in FACT not a FACT.



David Hughes couldn't afford me now.....regardless of what you think. What is a FACT is that since 2006......a trained Chimp could have done a better job than those employed by the club...I would have done better in my sleep...
