One thing I forgot to ask was whether the West stand bar would be available to all for RL matches. For football it's only available for Premium members. I imagine there would be a mini riot if booze was not available to all for RL games. I will try and broach the subject if I can't another chance on the 21st January.'"
Ta for the info.

This year we could be watching the equivalent of a reserve team squad so if the price is £164, that is a massive increase on last year’s season ticket of £99! Do you know what price the kids are expected to pay? Last season it was £25 plus tickets for all away games.'"
Last year's season ticket early bird price was £140. The £99 offer was two seasons ago, not last year.
Still an increase of £24 though.

Only question was why free kit mate? and BTW I never said freeloader but if you want to wear that hat fine.
What have I done for the club? ahh so you only did it for the free stuff!
FWIW done a fair bit mate and never got paid for it, think it was the stoop ruined the pink boots.

I understand that but the majority are London Broncos fans first and foremost but I just find it hard to see how people can continue to support the club, no matter how devoted they are to supporting the club.
Personally, I think the fans of London Broncos, no matter how small in numbers they may be, deserve better and should demand better treatment. Some must be a glutton for punishment and that's not a dig, I would find it hard to motivate myself to go if I were one.

I'm not a Broncos fan, never have been. I'm a fan of a northern club through family and London are my closest Super League side so I've looked out for them. I have looked at the fixtures and I think I might go to two games this season, I go to Skolars more because it's closer to home and I've found that the games there that I've seen in the last few years have been more competitive and entertaining than the one sided games I've travelled four hours (there and back) to see at Twickenham. Crowds are poor at Broncos because they're allowed to be, there's no marketing and rarely a product on the pitch worth seeing.

Because I think Super League, London Skolars, Hemel Stags and the game in London and the South East needs a strong London Super League presence.
Having played the game in the South East, I have seen the work done by the likes of Jones & the other coaches and seen how much it means to the players and how important it is for those areas and those kids.
My question I asked earlier today wasn't a dig nor a bellyache, it was more of an enquiry. I'm interested to see why people are standing by the owners and club, not to cause any arguments or digs at people.

It's what some folk do. There are plenty of proper fans who have just had an absolute gutful of the club and cannot bear the idea of watching a completely uncompetitive team being repeatedly hammered while being held in complete contempt by those who run the club. The club can hardly expect to receive support in those circumstances.

| jaybs with you on that one, in fact most of the kickball clubs would have gone under.
As for the ones who have had a gutful of the club, give up then! don't bother! but don't come on here whinging about how bad the crowds are!
I for one will be there supporting my club
I will rephrase my last comment "that's what folk do" lets say "that's what supporters do"

| I think lots of RL 'fans' in the S.E. like to find reasons to justify the fact they can't be bothered to get off their sofa and go and support the local SL team.
You can kid yourself all you like that Hemel, Oxford or Skolars are 'doing it the right way'. But I can't see any of them being a top flight club in the next 20 years.
Broncos are important, but if you prefer semi-pro RL or watching SL on the sofa that's fair enough. But don't kid yourself that there's a justification for it on the basis that the club's not very good. You're part of the problem.

Sadly not. They are separate memberships, so a hefty £44 spond will be leaving my bank account from next month. I had some ideas about how each club could get fans to the other's games as part of a deal. Will also mention this next time.

Well I am still loyal to the Club, since that first game Fulham against Wigan! I don't deny the club has problems, but here some just go on and on about the same things and never move on.

Really? Supporting Skolars, Hemel or Oxford makes one part of the problem at Broncos.
And there I was thinking it was down to diabolical management.
If anyone is part of the problem it is those who clap the team off after yet another tonking and will accept any old garbage put on the paddock because one is not a supporter otherwise.

Hmmm. I think point being made is semi pro is fine but they are not going to suddenly replace a SL team and form the pinnacle in the South.

Oxford openly state they have no interest in ever being in Superleague as it's not going to be viable. I'd say that's doing things the right way myself.
I watched both Oxford and Broncos last season and may well do the same this year as I'd miss it if / when top flight RL dies down south. However I much preferred watching Oxford and if it is one or the other I will go there. I have no intention of apologising for that. After more than a decade as a season ticket holder at Broncos I feel no great loyalty to a club that treats us with little more than contempt.

Actually this was the question that I responded to, some of us are seriously thinking about attending this year because we have supported London Broncos/Quins etc for a number of years, some from the very beginning and still want to support em, what it boils down to is 17 blokes every week for the season going out on the paddock
