Credit to the players. They did their best, we can ask no more. The mismanagement over the years is hurting the club yet again.

Edited to say the club might want to look at the ticketing system. Having spent £20 to look into the sun, I wasn't too pleased to be greeted by flashing lights and beeping noises telling me my ticket was invalid. Credit to the steward who quickly worked out I was genuine and not trying it on so let me in. Wouldn't have been a good first impression if I was a new fan though.


Think there must have been a glitch in the system.
Bought a pair of tickets, first one went through ok , second one came up as ‘ not valid for this fixture’, but the steward tried it on a different scanner and it was ok.
Got the impression it had been happening all afternoon

Computer was trying to tell you something mate. It was saying you really don’t want to go in there.

Any new fans are going to be put off for life

The best thing that can happen now is that no new fans turn up...crowds stay as low as possible and a new start in the Champ

I would far rathe have paid my £20 to watch that Broncos team play a Batley or Widnes today

I won't be back this season.....

Wimbledon is an absolutely awful place to get to on every way ...by car, tube or train


It’s really annoying because it’s been clear over last 3 home games that are quite a few RU fans, occasional fans and dormant fans who have been coming back to see us in top flight and are served up that. Players are clearly trying but everyone could see our recruitment was not SL standard and not enough through the door. It’s obvious that these fans are less likely to return when we lose so badly. It’s one step forward, two steps back all the time with the Broncos. Gawd knows what happens next season.

And yet today Thameslink to Haydons Rd was running today, Northern Line to Tooting Broadway was running today. I ended up getting to the game on the latter and left on the former.
Don’t know about trains from Waterloo to Earlsfield.
I don’t know about driving into London, I avoid doing it as much as possible.

Wimbledon might not be perfect but has more transport connections than many places we’ve played at before.

Fair enough. These things happen. Hopefully only once though.

Probably worth adding I spent the match with Wire fans I met in Toulouse back when we played them at Carcassonne. They tell me Wire rested three and were missing a fourth due to a bereavement.

We’re missing a few ourselves- not that it would have made a lot of difference……

One thing I did find interesting was the presence of a small playmaker for Wire. (Albeit a back up.) I'm told their third in line is very young, very highly rated and vey short by pro RL standards. Are we begining to see the high tackle changes already influencing what clubs look for in terms of height in some positions?

We could definitely do with Bienek but the sad truth is no it wouldn’t have made much difference.

Yes he was very short. Yet we still struggled to put him to the ground.

For a professional sportsman he was very short. Leon Hayes I believe. About 5 foot 4 and half inches. I looked him up as I was interested when I saw him. Actually looked shorter, but that was because of the giants around him.
