I'm ashamed to say I didn't attend, but that was because I had a back spasm and couldn't walk.

The answer is I don't know and i don't think anyone does, it would need some market research in the area we look at, but it is clear as I have said over & over again that The Stoop is not going to work for us and again as I stated clearly in the last comment we don't know if they want us, they seem currently to want to take the money off us and run! Some think I have something against The Stoop, I loved it first time around and I felt it was best we returned this time or we may have folded at that time, but it is simply not working.

I'm sure no one can deny that the attendance at the weekend was a total disgrace, it will give the northern negatives something to moan about, what is the problem, is it just that we are a losing team? the transport problems, but they seem to happen most weekends in London, where did those who came to the St Helens game all disappear to?

If there was a decent product to market would that help the situation?

Don't all laugh at once, but didn't DH state when announcing that he was in it for another 3 years, that we would be getting marketing support from the RFL?

Thast every home game for us

RFL Marketing Support seems to be 'send an e-mail out on the Broncos mailing list three days before a game and see what happens'

If there was anywhere the RFL, you would think, would be able to help us, it would be better engagement with media outlets.

I can't believe that the Broncos don't leafllet every house in the TW2 area when a home match is due. Has this been even tried?
How many local shops have posters in their windows showing who the Broncos are playing next?
What sort of coverage do the Broncos get in the local newspaper/s?

As The Penguin states it would help from the RFL assisting with better media communication, it is throwing money down the drain to spend excessive on marketing when the product is not going to appeal to the paying customer and what we are producing on the pitch presently is not going to pull them in by the thousands, did the club itself not state the reason for not having a sponsor was due to several interested parties seeing how we perform?

Simon (think that was the reporter's name) used to give good coverage in one of the local papers but the main London paper (The Standard), which is allegedly our media partner

,gives us pretty much close to f**k all squared in a box!

We don't leaflet, we don't do fixture posters, BBC London TV news or "London Tonight", the ITV regional news never feature the club. The Richmond & Twickenham Times do put in reports, but when you have Media Partners in "The Evening Standard" whose coverage of the club is sweet sod all, then it kind of sums it all up really.

We have several years of attendance data in London. We don't need new market research to tell us that location has had no significant impact on crowds. We once had good crowds at The Stoop. Guess what, they seemed to coincide with better marketing and better results on the field.

October 2008...or around that time...read my OPUS on here, on what could be done for little or no cash outlay. We used to have a volunteer group who were prepared to door drop on Thursday evenings before home games.......not any more though...they were surplus to requirements as oyster card holders together with viral videos were seen as the future.....



.....and don't get me started on flowers on a round-a-bout either

When the RFL did do the marketing for the game against Manly it was very effective. Mostly down to the efforts of Adey Spencer who I think is long gone. If they really want to help, they should be paying to have someone of his calibre and experience full time in London.

Started

When did you ever stop going on endlessly about that and the other bits? We've all heard it over and over and over.

did think it was a poor attendance when i saw the figure

but guess the football being on tv at the same time and union the day before at twickenham doesnt help!

I still think that was your best idea of the lot

Even just simple things like the cowgirls handing out flyers in Twickenham on game day seems an idea beyond anybody. It's truly shocking how little appears to be done apart from the once every couple of years invite-the-reporter-to-training story.

My comment (not comments) was not snide, it was just expressing my irritation at the repetitiveness of so much that you post. Mostly I do ignore you, not because you don't have good ideas, but because of your repeated harpings on historical errors by the club.

Thanks for the advice, I'll bottle my irritations and return to ignoring you.

You lightweight matt.
