Hoodies arrived today- I think they look great!

As we charge ever forward towards the new season's friendly, we still seem short of players. There are still some who were with us last year that don't seem to have a gig elsewhere. Do we not want them or they us? Also, there was talk of a number of potential new owners just waiting for IMG's ratings to be confirmed. While you wouldn't expect too much in the public domain, you would have thought the odd rumour would escape. I assume that bird may well have flown too. Oh well.

Paladin are sending out replacement home jerseys due to the fault in the collar.

Bought my membership last knockings yesterday.

What we have look of the standard but we are well short of a full squad. It’s so late in the day there cant really be any doubt that the overwhelming majority (probably all) of the trialists will be or have been signed even if so we can complete fixtures. On that basis I assume we’ll have some announcements pretty soon. In other news Storey has gone to a Queensland cup side I see.

Abdull has left Hull FC and is now a free agent.

Season Tickets have already been reduced to £120. Weren't they £175 previously?

[quote="Torbreck":12o5mbig]Season Tickets have already been reduced to £120. Weren't they £175 previously?[/quote:12o5mbig] The £175 were for men's and women's teams. The £120 are for men's matches only.

Didn’t know that. Just so I’m clear is this a Schoolboy error on my part of not reading offers properly or is this a new more limited offer? I think it’s the latter so that’s slightly annoying as it would have been the option I went for.

If it had been on offer at the time, I'd of gone with that. However, if the ladies team get something financial out of paying the £175, I'll be less vexed. But so very Broncos!!

It would seem everything to do with ticketing is no longer on the club website.

[quote="Deadcowboys1":2jtyptz5]It would seem everything to do with ticketing is no longer on the club website.[/quote:2jtyptz5] It's on the "Store" page.

The team are short on cash so now isn’t the time to make a fuss but should we go round again next year I’ll remember this little wrinkle and hold off from signing up early doors for the ST as it’s a little off IMHO.

[quote="Deadcowboys1":30o1061g]It would seem everything to do with ticketing is no longer on the club website.[/quote:30o1061g] It’s not massively intuitive. Clicking on tickets/buy memberships gets you nowhere whereas it almost certainly should. If you root around the offer does materialise under store/ menu 2025 adult season membership. Not optimal but bearing in mind our financial situation a website that continues to function is a bonus.

let's face it. Season ticket sales will cover Loubsers salary and not a lot else. The Broncos have been set up to fail at some stage this year as a final "fgtk you" to the RFL/SL/IMG from Hughes.

Martyn Saddler has posted on a thread entitled David Hughes on the other forum that he hears there will soon be be very good news for Broncos. The flow of the thread suggests this is a hint new owners are expected.

After 44 years of Broncoing, I'm not sure I know what good news is any more!

[/quote:1tphdi7d] Yes I took it to mean that Irish fella who sings Whiskey in the jar etc in the by the horns pub had retired. Lovely fella and all but happy to veer slightly from the Irish and country songbook for a few weeks.

Martyn Sadler has now added a message saying 'keep your fingers crossed" so whether it's new owners or having a full team for Goole, it's probably not over the line yet.

It seems odd that the club have announced a 'new' season ticket offering now. Surely the £175 option, the £120 option and £40 non-ticketed option should have been on sale all at the same time?

But even just on recent posters here they’d have sold 2 less 175 tickets and 2 more 120 tickets so that’s probably the reason, sadly. Anyway this season they need the support so it is what it is. Next season...hmmm…

I've not seen a hospitality season ticket yet, I've not done the Broncos Bar (but probably will in 2025) and I'm sure some are waiting for that or at least waiting for the additional charge, having paid £175.
