right I see, never come across that before. Every other season ticket book I've come across does it by date, that way you're ripping off the front one - doesnt the Quins way of doing things leave people open to ripping out the wrong one?
Not a big deal - just different. And come on, a teensy bit weird

When fixtures are rearranged ST holders will still know which tickets to use. No doubt some supporters have probably suggested this as they go to Quins RU games as well. The club has probably responded to the fans suggestions and now they are being criticised for it. Time some critics thought things through a bit rather than just jump on the clubs efforts even if they are not obvious at first glance.

Wrong...they used to be simply numbered vouchers (not dated or associated with any particular game ) and there were signs at the gate saying which number to use. Believe it or not the first game was #1, the second #2 etc.

While I am perfectly capable of searching through the book in alphabetical order it is a faff I can do without and can hardly help the queue move quicker.

dont know if this has been linked from here before as it's an old article on RL in London but it's a good read. From Total RL and first appeared in Rugby League World last year. www.totalrl.com/features/content ... tcat_id=49 I'd love to see the kind of central backing that he suggests but can you imagine the level of complaint from some in the north!?

Why did you edit your post?

alas no....SoOI in Melbourne is costing us about $4,000, so another $1,500 + was a "game too far" for Mrs G.

Couldn't agree more. There are plenty of things worth complaining about at Broncos but this certainly isn't one of them. Even at my doddery old age I've had no problem at all with these vouchers.

....although it is a shame that less than 900 of these books were needed to be printed

dswg - read my post again - it was satire, tongue in cheek humour. It seems week by week more and more people are losing their sense of humour.

Shameless editing for accuracy

And my post was serious

This leads me back to the "club conspiracy theories/hidden agendas" thread. Something murky is going underneath with this seasons failure, although I feel in the world of 'mergers and acquisitions' something will transpire although I feel it'll just be a Broncos v.3 based in NE London. Until then us, the fans, can merely sit here in the dark and stir the pot.

Alas, I fear Tobreck might be onto something.
Another move as a result of neglect in communications, marketing, promotions and community intergration, where they will simply arrive at a new venue, stick rugby posts in the ground and expect everyone to flock to the game




Guess what......Valley - Stoop - Valley - Griffin Park - Stoop.... 6 chances to engage fans at The Valley, Twickenham, The Valley, Brentford, Twickenham as Quins and Twickenham as Broncos...none of which failed because of where the club were situated......but instead failed because THEY REPEATEDLY DIDN'T INVITE ANYONE TO COME TO WATCH............................

But everyone over there knows they're moving though right?

Telephone conversations I have had with the club would point to them looking for a new home....a home they can call their own.
I can see the line of Investors and Bankers willing to give cash to the club to build a 15,000 seater stadium for the 890 season ticket holders and the club that needs 1.5 million a year hand outs to survive.......it's bigger than the Great Wall of China and can be seen from space



The club have less fans than ever before in ESL, no paying sponsors, a benefactor who is "offski" in a couple of years and not the slightest clue of what to do about it.

Here's one for you. We all know that DH and the RFl had talks last year about how to improve or assist a London club grow, and lets say that the RFL either gave promises which have not been fulfilled, or, the assurances given were not enough for DH. He then on paper spends up to the cap indicating that he is keeping to one side of any bargain, but is deliberatley refusing to fund anything else including a proven coach and marketing, in the gamble that the RFL cannot or will not allow the demise of a London club with all the implications that could have for the investment in the sport in future and any growth plans they may have.

Yeah...and Gus Mackay and Imogen Gaunt are happy to have their CV's destroyed by being party to the biggest and most rapid decline in fortunes in sporting club history.....

Marketing hyperbole kicking into overdrive again there ducks and wrong on sooooo many fronts.

Couple of pointers, CEO's CFO's CTO's etc walk away from REAL declines under their watches without a blemish, CV's are for noobs, networks are for real earners, try looking at the employment history of most of those connected to the banks during the sub prime crisis to see exactly how badly a real disaster affected their employment. Gus will always be employed, same as those you hate so much for their efforts in marketing the club in the past will be.

Biggest and most rapid decline? now that has to be the funniest thing you have ever written, and it has strong contenders. If this club folded tomorrow I doubt there would be many more column inches written in the majority of the mainstream press than there is now on match results, the likes of Stephen Jones would have a field day for maybe a week, you can't have it both ways, we are a club playing a sport alien to the majority of the population, not unlike the Monarchs or the Knights.......don't recall Madge getting calls for the flags to fly at half mast at their demise.

But look at the sponsorship invested in the East end of London with the amateur game and young people, we need a home that will be part of a community, one that is playing and knows the game of rugby league.

It makes no difference where they play their games..........

Far and away the most likely explanation. I can well believe that there are promises that the RFL haven't fullfilled - the move from Chiswick to Crystal Palce was partly based on the RFL promising to do work on publicity including using the 1990 'Roos, something that (suprise, suprise) never happened due to 'budgetary problems'. Yeah, right

Well gutterfax, that is Your opinion, I feel we need to be in an area where the game of rugby league is being played in schools, amateur teams and clubs both youth level and open age, that way you can build upwards and sell the club as part of the community, the ground has to be then part of that community seven days a week, I would in a stadium we own consider a pitch like Widnes, so it can be used by the community and all our teams so they are in the area all the time.

1. RL is played by schools and by amateur clubs in West London......
2. The club has been in West London since 2002.......but has failed to engage fully with these clubs and schools...why would it be different in East London?
3.Own Pitch? Shit me a few of those million pound notes whilst you're at it.....a stadium of our own....

we are losing millions a year, have 890 ST holders and an ever decreasing fan base....let's spend 15 million on a white elephant.
4. Community......you make it sound like a scene from the sound of music with kids dancing in the fields.....the cold hard reality is it is a pipe dream. Community takes years and a shed load of hard work to achieve.....
5. In your eastern utopia, would there be any form of marketing to announce the presense of the team or would the RFL pixies do that for you



Sorry if I sound sceptical, but moving again is just too easy an option....why not try this community thing where we are first?

The nearest high schools to the stoop have RL on their PE curriculum while the Elmbridge Eagles are national champions
