We have a League 1 squad and a L1 manager and assistant: end of debate, I’m afraid. Most have only experienced losing in L1, most are on 2 year contracts. If we stay up we are likely to endure another season of this dross. I assume Season Tickets will drop off a cliff anyway but would going into L1 where we might ( no stronger than that) be at the top end be better value and a better draw for potential SeasonTicket holders - at a reduced price obviously. There is no way I will buy an ST for next season if we remain in Championship before I see what our squad is like.

League 1 playing at Plough Lane makes no sense at all...

Might as well play all games at Richmond if we are in L1

No one credible can see anyway this team and the PL expense go together it’s just off the scale.

TBH London Broncos won't play in League 1 next year. If we get relegated thats it, end of club.

I think relegation would be a disaster. I'm of the opinion that the only value to having a team in London is the credibility it brings to Rugby League. Therefore the RFL/SL need to find a way to get them into SL & ensure they stay there.

The game seems to have grown as much as it can in the North so needs to look elsewhere.

Maybe the RFL/SL can help find a new investor who has actually got his head screwed on.

Maybe the RFL could cap the amount of Skolars players we can buy or lend to 2 and apply the rule retrospectively. Although the way things are going we would simply dive into London Chargers and HHL.

There are others who are better placed to comment on brand, but as a marketeer, I see no value in the Broncos Brand any more.
I've run campaigns in the past that were epic turd polishing efforts, but Hughes's total incompetence has made the broncos brand dead in the water.
If an investor can be found, then Skolars are the better bet. Not the best run outfit on the planet, but they try harder than we ever have.
