In any event, we are still stuck with the intransigence of Hughes & his tame Lobster.


As an aside I see from Twitter feed that Mr Hughes was in attendance. I wonder where he watched the game from? I tell you where he wasn’t, in the seats in the stand ear marked for directors- seemingly about 10 of them. Some on this site have criticised Mr H for his judgement but on this occasion, his decision to give those seats a swerve was very sound.

If Broncos do move again they ought to consider what audience/catchment area they are trying to attract. The main issue with PL is poorish transport. Not enough parking, a hike from the tube and infrequent buses. Should Broncos aim to be the leading RL team in the south east? If they do they need to be in a stadium with good all round transport links. If they want to be a south west London team RP would probably do, but they would never progress to super league there.

He was sat on the back row of the stand with his son and Stevo.

Took his life in his hands there. One hearty cough and he’d have been through the floor!
Did you get a chance to ask him when those additional players are joining?

Which do you think will come first? A full squad or average 5k attendances.

With him at the helm, the answer is "hell will freeze over first"

A regular poster on the other forum is reporting being told by an AFC fan Broncos actively want out of Plough Lane as "it's not met expectation."

Obviously this could be a rumour but it sounds right out of the Broncos playbook rule 11a, all failed groundshares are totally the fault of the ground / location / owner and nothing to do with utter incompetence from the Broncos.

TBF not being able to play at home between mid May and end of July was always going to be an issue.
Most other clubs who share with football los2 5 weeks not 12

This can be the only thing that potentially hasn't met expectation. Everything else is of the Broncos own doing.
