....indeed. And as all referees, this pedant was wrong (but he'll claim he was technically right even though he admitted he didn't know who the original post was about so supplemented the RAF for the RAC )

Indeed.......and loathe to ever admit they were wrong.

I have plenty of time on my hands at the moment. I am by no means a quality controller, but this "Brave new Dawn" has piqued my interest.
Lots of bravado and bluster but very little delivered as yet.
In the case of ticketing, all home games should be listed and available.....the website is managed by parrot and sparrow.....ticketing partner is ticketco....both have dropped the ball as has the person responsible at the club.
Pathetic.....especially when compared to some of our other Championship sides.

| York were a stand out club for social media engagement towards the end of Oxford RL The club was close to being in its knees a year or two earlier, victim of a very rare Oxford away win up north and shedding fans at an alarming rate. The ground redevelopment then saw them playing at an NCL ground for a while, shedding more fans.
However the club were getting things right behind the scenes, rebuilding links with local community RL, employing a talented young coach and engaging a fan with social media skills to drive community engagement. I believe he was a volunteer, if he's still doing it I suspect the workload means he would be paid something now.
Whilst it has to be said they benefitted from the decline of York City FC, any lower level rugby league club looking for a model club regeneration example could do far worse than talk to York. The behind the scenes work and planning leading up to the move to the new stadium was very impressive.

Royal Air Force was April 1.
RFC was army
Not pedantic just didn't have a clue what royal air corps was!

Aha. I stand corrected and am relieved I don't have to feed you.
Although its a hell of a leap for anyone to believe that you didn't know I was referring to the Royal Flying Corps,.navy background or not and were being a straight up smart @rs3 as well as a pedant
Nearly 4.30pm Wednesday and still a broken link on the banner for the bradford game.
The club are based out of a regus office in Richmond as well as at the ground. It is becoming obvious that the "mates company" eagle and whatever aren't up to the job and are more focused on Wilmslow where most of their clients are I'm not sure who is who's mate here, but Christ WIX and a 1st yr student would be better. Why not Pay someone for 2 days work a week (Matchday and Monday) planning the weeks social media, designing banners, capturing and editing video, as well as capturing game day stuff and updating social media.
Heres a thought. Rather than try to make a snapshot of 20nfans make the place look busy, get pictures of the kids with @buckndusty, pictures of people coming through the turnstiles, people in the bar, folk buying pies.....not just stills of players celebrating a try?
Not a lot to do this week for the back.office. no game, no away trip to dodge (or foreign Twitter to piggyback)....maybe take stock of other clubs web and social media.....because ours is pathetic.
Northener.....here's my grandfather in about 1914. Not sure of rank etc, but he did reconnaissance flights and was based in France for nearly the entire 4 years.

Yes it is especially as it is a London home game. One day maybe we’ll be in a position to do this type of thing (again).

At one time we used to get some Radio London coverage. My local football team (HRBRC) do their own commentaries home and away.

| Sorry but I just cannot get used to them playing in the Wire Kit. It just feels so wrong. At least when they had the quins top it was distinctive, but being a poor mans Warrington just is all wrong

Agreed. Especially when last year's kit was one of the best we have had.

| Perhaps the Broncos could have some presence at this event at Plough Lane two days after the Newcastle match and the start of the summer pitch maintenance break. Simply the visibility to the local community that there is a Rugby League team in town should help.
Apart from a very small minority (of fans) that don't want to share the stadium in any way, I honestly don't see any reason the football club wouldn't want the Broncos involved,
===========================================
Join us for a Family Fun Day that will celebrate our status as a community club back in Wimbledon.
On Sunday 15 May 2022 (10am – 5pm) – two weeks after the end of our first season at Plough Lane with supporters – we will be opening our doors to the community for a fantastic event.
With all funds to be donated to our Dons Local Action Group, just donate a tin of food and enjoy alternative entertainment at the Cherry Red Records Stadium!
There’s fun for all the family, including live music and interviews with Wimbledon legends (past and present), plus festival style food stalls, cocktails, and drinks from the Phoenix.
Other attractions include shopping stalls, a picnic area on the pitch, tours of the stadium, fair rides, inflatables, face paints, a sponsored abseil, the premiere of Wimbledon in Sporting History’s new movie ‘Wombles from the Lane’. Though football is not the main focus after the end of the season, we will be hosting five-a-side tournaments on the main pitch, beat the keeper games, and more.
We can’t wait to welcome you!

| As of 8.45pm, The banner advertising the Bradford game still lands at a page announcing that York tickets are no longer available.
The recent recruitment adverts described London Broncos as "a Professional Rugby League Club"........they lied!
In terms of an open goal to promote ourselves to Kids, our goal-posts will be up on Friday the 13th, so have them at one end of the park, beat the keeper at the other. Run a conversion comp with prizes, get 100 T-shirts, 100 Tote bags, 100 APX SOOOOOPER Water Bottles and other assorted stuff as well as handfuls of tickets for the Sheffield game and a prize draw for a Box at that game.....Buck and Dusty can wander about. I'd also heavily push the RLWC.....maybe get the RFL to help out???
As others have said......let's see if they can get their lazy overpaid butts into action

I think we have to be realistic. An actual presence at the event would be progress. Perhaps one or two of our players could be persuaded to attend along with a member of staff and hand out flyers for upcoming games and perhaps badges, stickers, mini flags or some such of the usual fare. If there’s a screen with AFC action perhaps they would agree to show short highlights/taster of rugby league once an hour or some such. May have to show action from a previous year of course. Anything really just to keep momentum going in a modest way.

| I should say in the interests of fairness that the water bottles are of a good quality. It was a decent gesture to give them to kids. I am surprised that they and other merchandise I saw in the club shop weren’t available to buy online previously. Perhaps a production delay or something out of their control. But generally if you have items for sale best to put them on sale.

Monkey doesn't own it......it's owned by All Sports Global Ltd which has 1 director Abdul Qayyum Akram and is registered at 2nd Floor, 158 Grattan Road, Bradford, England, BD1 2HS.....the same registered address for APX.
The club has.many issues to deal with, but I'd hope that APX who also supply kit to the Broncos CEO's hockey side are scratched next year......he really hasn't achieved much whilst double dipping into the Hughes kitty.
