I hate nobody. I regularly question the sanity of Hughes and I certainly admire the ability of the wage thief, but hate is not in my make up. have to say, for a new poster you're pretty clued up....have we met?

Ahh that’s a fine distinction I hadn’t taken from your recent posts.
Have we met: as I understand you live abroad so I think not.

I haven't always lived "abroad'....I used to rock up to London RL games quite a lot as they were an enjoyable experience......I even made the last SL game at the Hive before the drop and then another when we got back up....neither of those games were particularly enjoyable as the matchday experience was pretty much dead in the water by then...........the last of those games was a game v Wakefield where the gate was announced as 1,205.
I can only imagine what fun Trailfinders is now with 1,000 fewer in attendance.....and that is down in equal part to Hughes and the Commercial Monkey...no reason to hate anyone, but hardly endearing either.

I seem to recall paying £14.00 on the gate at Brentford in 2002.....it seems 19 seasons later inflation is not that bad with tickets now on offer for £10.00...that commercial guys a bit of a wiz i reckon :CRAZY:

Re: Toulouse tickets : Fri Jul 30, 2021 10:09 pm  
It has to be said that the match day experience at the moment is “thin”. The major excitement being when the pies come out. I suspect the Wimbledon match day experience will be better but that is predicated by a reasonable amount of fans turning up which looks “challenging”.
Our views on the competence of the LB back room staff may not be totally aligned but clearly they will need to step up somewhat from where they are now to make the project a success. I think you may have described the move in an earlier post as an existential threat. I think that was not unreasonable. We will see. I will give it a spin but trekking South of the river to be presented with no parking or adding £8 or some such to my spend may dampen my enthusiasm.

Re: Toulouse tickets : Sat Jul 31, 2021 8:22 am  
Big time as you can see from some posters, nothing the club does is right. £20 for a ticket is wrong its too much. An offer of £10 for a ticket is apparently crazy from the emoji. Am not sure what would please some.
As for the move the Wimbledon like ant move it will suit some, it will not suit others, but that goes for any move anywhere.
As for existential threat! Is staying at ealing any better?
The club is at a pretty low point at the moment, and currently yup a pretty average champ set up. So change is needed, DH is the money, I don't see any other deep pocket investor in the wings so that's hard to change.
Moving to a decent stadium that is acceptable to the RFL has to be a positive step, then buying a squad that can compete has to be the next step! Q is will or more important can DH do that. With a decent stadium and a decent squad you will see more fans

Re: Toulouse tickets : Sat Jul 31, 2021 10:15 am  
Big Time. You describe the matchday experience as thin. There is just a game. Just a game. Nothing else.
Look around on matchday. How many kids attend? One or two. There is nothing for them .
As a club, a lot of work is done in schools. This translates to nothing on matchday. Which surely aim of the community work, is to draw people to the club.
The attendance for the Toulouse game was going to be low. It is peak holiday time, no away fans and the likely thrashing we shall receive. Add to that the football season starting. Something needed to be done.
It is fine to offer reduced price tickets, but how do people outside of the London Broncos bubble, find out about this promotion.
I do not know.
I wonder if bringing new fans to a game where we get thrashed, is a good idea anyway.
Perhaps contacting the missing fans and giving them free tickets to attend is worth a thought ?
Interested to see what the gate is with this super promotion.

Re: Toulouse tickets : Sat Jul 31, 2021 10:53 am  
NB you make some interesting points. Pricing is less of a concern to me than some posters. My gut feeling is the prices are not unreasonable. I do though agree with those who think the timing and delivery of the new pricing was “ unfortunate”.
I can see the arguments about Ealing being a dead end and a new stadium attracting fans/sponsors but, putting aside the hassle it will be for me personally to go to SW London, it is the disconnect with the general mood music of managed decline I can’t unpick. It looks to me like we have almost no back room admin staff, the squad is thinner in terms of quality and numbers, revenue streams have reduced and we are focussing on bring through home grown products and going to a hybrid model. That is a noble but long/ mid term project. Moving to PL and running 2 training grounds is difficult to marry up with that dissapointing, it perhaps sensible, approach. It might work but, if not, I think it does place a heavy burden on the club.

On the subject of kids, as one of the very few that does bring their son I could not agree more.
On that point whilst I’m hear one of the reasons I registered was to correct a misapprehension that has been circulating on this forum ( I think). Whilst the ( in essence) walk up prices for kids appears counter productive and dumb, there was and remains a child season ticket at £30. That’s £3 a game. For London that seems a good deal to me. The club is getting quite a bit wrong but that seems a small positive and we should acknowledge it
No arguments from me on the comma side/ fan engagement failings. It is most likely partly due to the fact there appear to be no admin staff currently employed so commas and fan engagement and all the other things that push a club forward have gone into hiatus. Perhaps the club is planing to correct this for next season. I’d like to think they are but they have quite a few plates to spin and next season will come around soon.
