| Quote nadera78="nadera78"We'd be a lot closer to being self-sufficient if we were still averaging the 4,000+ we were when David Hughes took over the club. I wonder what happened to drive away so many people?
The club's employees really don't do the club (or Hughes' bank balance) any favours with their attitude to supporters.'"
I've spent the week on the phone and email to supporters answering their questions, tha king them for their support etc.
My attitude has, and always will be, that the club has a largely very positive and supportive fan base which I try and keep up to date with information and take on board their answers.
There are some of us at the club at the moment exhausted working on something that will see that fan base grow, significantly, which in turn starts to take some of the financial pressure off David.
I never have, and never will, deal with negativity. It drains you and is a waste of time. We will never be able to please some and if me giving a pie in the sky comment a tongue in cheek response is classed as offensive then its probably best i dont use this forum anymore to answer your questions and keep fans updated.
Thanks to those of you who have sent messages of support and those of you who know what is happening behind the scenes that are as excited as we are.
Those who have my number or email are welcome to keep in touch.
We will this week start with some announcements, the first one is already appearing to be a very popular new incentive with those who we have spoken to about it and something it appears many of you have wanted for a long time to give fans a real voice at the club.

The problem is twofold:
You yourself have a bit of history on this board.
Secondly, the club has a terrible history of alienating fans - hence the loss of circa 3,000 fans over a 10 year period.

| Quote Bostwick="Bostwick"I must say Monkey Boy, That you are doing a grand job ing of some of the very long term supporters of The London Broncos.
We have a very dedicated core of fans. Small but dedicated. Every so often the club appoints someone who comes along and manages to drive away a some of these.
One such fan and his wife, were so insulted by a previous officer of the club. That they swore never to return and they never did. All their quite considerable good work was lost.
For me London Broncos is what I did on Sundays. Sunday being my only day off as I normally work six days a week.
I and my family travel home and away at quite considerable cost. Four to eight hundred mile round trips to games do not come cheap.
However the Covid enforced lack of rugby, is forcing me to re evaluate my commitment to following the club. I am enjoying doing other things like, going to the beach. Not getting up at 6am to go to Yorkshire and doing my garden. I may not be alone in this.
I hope that you are not going to join the group of club employees, who have managed to drive down the clubs support from within. It is easily done.
Trailfinders might become a lonely place, on match days.'"
Wokes in RL whatever next. It’s good that ML posts on here. Get some humour

How many clubs in RL have grown a fan base in that time? Secondly how many teams fan base has grown post relegation?

Very positive post. I’m excited to see the details of what you are about to announce.
Let’s ignore the sensitive posters. The downside of the Broncos with its smallish fan base is that some ticket holders think they are shareholders. Go to Warrington or Wigan and a ticket is just that, access to your seat. Want access to players for that game pay more. No matter what you pay you don’t have a voice.
In the old days before technology society’s losers sat in a back bedroom, eating fatty food with no voice. Sadly the internet came along.

| I have to say that I am actually enjoying my rugby free weekends.
I think that that the only thing I miss from there being no rugby are my friends from the Broncos.
The club will have to work hard to get fans back.
I myself am thinking that if I do buy a season ticket it will be a bronze this time.
Bronze ticket holders do seem to be treated better and if I wake up on a Sunday and do not fancy it, it will hardly matter.

| I dont think any season ticket holder is treated better than another one. We are all treated the same it may be our perspectives which are different. Someone asked why the fan base had gone down since DH came. I feel it was losing more games than we won for three seasons on the trot and only winning two games in one season. I seriously dont think there is a Bronco fan who minds the team being beaten but what we all mind is when there is no effort from the players, which happened back then. Unfortunately that is why a lot of fans walked. It is going to be a long long road back but I am hopeful the support will return when we return. Our fan base went up the season before our return to SL when players gave their all and more, fans got behind them. Getting beaten in SL they still had the fans support because each and every one of us knew they could do no more. Going forward if we have players with that attitude, fans who cheer and bring friends and spread the word and back room staff and sponsors who want to see results then we will succeed. Keep the faith

| Sorry but I have to agree that bronze season ticket holders seemed to be treated better than others. My opinion and that is how I see it.

I don't understand how this is the case. Can you elaborate.
