Believe it or not, the last few Orient home games have also had a full page mention of the game, its mad, they are trying, not sure who is behind this, O's or broncos, but good to see, Orient tried leaflets before to encourage locals out for football etc, though never really worked, as most locals actually support Real Madrid/Barcelona or Legia Warsaw or Brazil.

And it isn't happening at The Stoop. Have you not been listening? We've voluntarily taken the games to Leyton and Gillingham. Gus Mackay said as much on several occasions. |

In any discussions I had that was not said to me!
Then it is foolish to take two home games on the row on the road, so quickly after the magic? weekend leaving a month away from the stoop. |

That is my reading of the situation too.
What a farce and absolutely typical of the incompetent administration of the club.
For the life of me, I could not understand why the tickets were not automatically sent out to season ticket holders given that we have already purchased them.
Now we find out that, having wasted our time once, the club has issued the wrong tickets and want to waste our time again. |

How do challenge bronco (?) ST holders get a ticket ? I didn't want to queue at the box office, will they post tickets. |

the lack of anything that resembles leadership or even direction at the club is frightening.
These OTR games were a badly thought out idea, but I dread it if they get 4k+ to either of them as I have no doubt that a permanent move to the east will be seen as the answer to the clubs troubles.

At the past three or four Orient home games there has been full page advertisements in the programme, leaflets handed out as people walk in and on tables in bars at the ground. They've tried.
I hope that the club and the East London Rugby League project are working together because there are clubs at Mudchute, Newham and Barking & Dagenham in that part of London and these lot should be targeted for tickets.

Medway Dragons doing their bit for May 20th:
source:
www.pitchero.com/clubs/medwaydra ... 25352.html
For the 1st time in history, Super League is coming to Kent when London Broncos take on Hull FC at Priestfield Stadium, home of The Gills on 20 May 12.
The sport of Rugby League takes a massive leap forward in Medway and Kent over the weekend of 18-20 May 2012. The Medway Rugby League Stampede hits town with a fantastic programme of events, showcasing The Greatest Game at venues around the Medway Towns.
There really is something for everyone to experience this great sport, close up and in many different guises. From the youngest players to fine examples of mature athletes, both male and female fixtures, the running game and in Rugby League in wheelchairs, it's all here.
The weekend begins on Friday night with a real bang at the fabulous Medway Park:
Fri 18 May 12 Medway Dragons v Mersey Storm Wheelchair RL @ Medway Park
Sat 19 May 12 London RL Junior League Cup Finals @ Medway Park
Sat 19 May 12 Medway Dragons Masters Festival @ The Garrison
Sat 19 May 12 Medway Dragons Womens RL @ The Garrison
Sat 19 May 12 Medway Dragons v Greenwich Admirals @ Medway Park
Sat 19 May 12 Girls RL fixtures @ Medway Park
Sun 20 May 12 London RL Mini League Festival @ Medway Park
Sun 20 May 12 London Broncos U20 Academy v Hull FC @ Priestfield Stadium
Sun 20 May 12 London Broncos v Hull FC Super League @ Priestfield Stadium
The climax of the weekend is the fixture featuring Londons' only Super League club, The London Broncos who are taking games on the road around the Community Clubs in the region. Hull FC, true giants of the game with a history stretching back to 1865 are the opposition and boast a team full of internationals from around the world. It will be a cracker of a contest.
Tickets are priced at an incredible price of £ 10 for adults and £ 1 for under 16's. Kids for a Quid !
Medway Dragons RLFC, the local Rugby League club who have built a remarkable community club in the past five years, fifteen teams playing at every age and variation of the game, have been given exclusive use of the Rainham End. This is the home end for Gillingham FC and holds around 2000 fans.
Dragons Head Coach Martin Coyd said 'This is a dream for us at the Dragons. We have worked hard and done some great things with our club and now this has come along. This is fantastic opportunity to come and see some of the finest athletes on the planet playing The Greatest Game, right here in Gillingham'
'Rugby League is simply the toughest team sport in the world, not many can play the game as it is so fast, tough and needs huge levels of endurance. People from our part of the world will have their first chance to see Super League 'live' and close up. The tickets are incredible value - a family of four can see two great games in a great stadium for £ 22. There is nothing quite like it'
'It would be a dream come true to see a packed Rainham End in a rocking Priestfield Stadium, a glorious summer afternoon and a cold beer watching a fantastic game. Can any sports fan resist that ?
Tickets for the Rainham End are available exclusively through Medway Dragons and available now ! on Thursdays and Saturdays @ The Garrison or through the Dragons Agents. |

Really hope as you say that the amateur clubs in Mudchute, Newham and Barking & Dagenham really do get involved and sell it hard, person to person can be as good as any marketing, it looks like Orient are playing their part. |

Medway Dragons will probably represent 50% of the entire crowd. I like the idea of them having their own stand though, even if it is the Rainham End.

Can't fault the Medway Dragons enthusiasm. Having this fixture locally is great rewards for their efforts. If only the so called professionals were as well organised.

Apparently we have had a crowd of 12,301 at the Stoop....if we match that at Gillingham then the move will be "on"
June 26th 2010 was the last time the club got a crowd of over 5k.......I suspect that if either Gillingham or Orient get a better gate than 5k, then the circus will be moving East...  |

| If we match 12,301 at Gillingham some of us will be watching from the car park - the capacity is only 11,582  . As the Football club only gets an average of 6,000 to home games im not too sure what the potential long term is there. We are bound to lose many fans on the west side of London and how many we would pick up on the Medway is a mystery. Wonder what the savings on the hire of the stadium would be. |

Let's Hope that the amateur rugby league players in the East will get behind these games, then we can really start, and really work on re-branding and re-establishing Super League for the future in London |

Incase you have not sorted your tickets for the Orient game yet, the e mail I received from the club last week advising
me to exchange my West stand ticket for the Gallery ticket suggested I could do so in person on matchday which I did, as opposed to via the post.
Im assumimg as a Challenge Bronco season ticket holder, you can also apply via the post if required and that you will probabaly get a West Stand seat.
That said Ive learnt not to assume anything when it comes to London`s Super League Club. |
