Well this is it - time for action.
Impressed with the stadium, Dons colours look like a gimmick.

Come on London!!

for 250K a year the stadium should be impressive, we are paying through the nose for it

Team much less impressive- lost the ball in first set of 6 and Widnes score with only 90 seconds played

This season is gonna be a shambles ain't it

Shockingly bad , 0-14 13 minutes played

Just put us out of our misery. Congratulations on killing a club.

Who would have guessed?

Let's hope Widnes run out of steam ASAP otherwise..................

TRY!!!

we are not full time anymore, much more likely we will tire than Widnes....

At least for now we have it less than a point a minute.

can they hold them at 20 until half time?

No !

4-24 HT
Widnes could have had 2 more tries- it’s about as bad as I feared.
That weak team on paper has translated into a weak team on the pitch!

Good crowd, poor defence

How is the atmosphere? as most of the London fans will be probably watching the team for the first time (as most Legacy fans are probably sitting this out like myself), Do you think so far the team has done enough to get folks back for the Haven game?

London Broncos RIP

12-34... Lets hope most of the first-timers who attended today saw enough to have them coming back in 2 weeks.

Pack struggled a bit, halves looked green.

Most of all they looked very rusty, as the three tries in no time showed. Will be better for the run, as they say.

Some players showed promise, the crowd atmosphere was the best I've heard for a long time! lack of match practice was always going to make it difficult, the Widnes side does not have much change from last season.

The players have to pick themselves up, for the next game.

Feel for West Wales Raiders, int the Challenge Cup at home against Swintonk to lose 96 - 0 is not good for the game.

I don't think there is any surprise in this result. Its a long season ahead

How many attended was it announced?

2,182 I believe

So first time watching a Rugby League match live. I noticed some of the new players weren't playing, particularly Siti and Wellington. I thought the Broncos would have shown some presence in the stadium, a programme, merchandise or simply info on the players or a little bit about the rules and general expectation of player positions. Remember a lot of the crowd would know very little and it's one of the easiest ways to get them engaged.

I did rather feel the Broncos were handed everything on a plate by AFC Wimbledon such as the street food, pub etc. I was hoping to get a Broncos feel, certainly in the areas the football club would allow them to. At one point I referred to the team as Wimbledon and I really feel that was because nothing "Broncos" was being thrown at me. Ignoring the constraints of the agreement with AFC Wimbledon and that the football club were obligated to provide certain things, I felt the Broncos missed an opportunity.

AFC Wimbledon ladies produce a simple programme but it really helps to get a feel of the individual players plus getting a few short informative articles. Honestly if there was some written material about the club (definitely) or the sport (probably) I would have bought it.

Really need a competitive game, but it was obvious it was over within 15 minutes. At half time I thought this was a bad outcome with so many newcomers present. Actually the second half I enjoyed way more. Widnes were still superior, but would have created a greater atmosphere if the teams were all square at half time.

I'll go back, but I do worry about how many others will. The reality is the pricing won't help and certainly won't attract family's unless offers for kids are introduced (which may well happen of course). The biggest issue will be a competitive team. From what I can tell, a match with Widnes needed to be exactly that. There are some likely hammerings to come from the big teams.

Thank you for posting that. Interesting to see a newcomers take on it. I hope the club read it.

Interesting to see the perspective of someone attending their first game. David Hughes must have been attracted by the opportunity to piggy back on the efforts of the host in their new stadium. We have even taken the colours !! However, it is a shame if an effort wan't made to explain the game to newcomers. As you (and others on here) have said, the key to gaining fans will be a competitive team but we have what looks like the weakest squad in our history. Widnes could probably see the game was won after 20 minutes.
