This really pushed a button with me.
I am without a shadow if a doubt, A London Broncos Supporter. What also isnt in doubt is that I think the current back office staff are useless, the team is bang average in terms of the 2nd tier and that the owner is a fool.....but I have NEVER wished MY TEAM to get beaten.
This is the new norm.....disagree with a message so attack the messenger and hopefully the message will be ignored.....nobody in this thread has said they want us to lose......everyone including yourself has said they expect us to lose.....and that is how far we have fallen under the ownership of David Hughes.
As for the efforts on Twitter to attract fans.... if fans if 20+ or 30+ years are fearful of what awaits, then why would you want any first timers to witness it?
My first game was a cc loss to Castleford at home IIRC.....

While I don't expect anything but a defeat ( considering we'll still have a number of our recent academy graduates filling in for injured experienced players ) what really gets on my churns is the number of people on here, supposedly London supporters, who would wish us to get slaughtered .

Maybe you could name the supporters hoping the Broncos get slaughtered.

What I think is going on here is that, whilst forums are a good and legitimate place to vent frustration and call out mistakes, it’s sometimes difficult to get the full picture of what the poster intends. Accordingly what is meant one way can be mis-read as self indulgent negativity or nihilism.

Maybe some posters who claim to be fans of the club, should accept that other fans view things differently to them.
Just because some folk choose to see the positives, wherever they are should not result in them being tagged as apologists, or lemmings! We all support the club in our own way. Some cannot accept that and choose to throw insults at those who don't agree with them.
Any new fans or supporters who possibly look at this forum must look and think what the heck if that's how fans of the club think of each other I ain't getting involved.

Completely Agree northernbloke, I've stopped replying to many get better things to do, several Broncos supporters I know, do not have a clue about this forum! and no way would I want them to see it.

We can all have different opinions, I accept that, but it should stay at that!

Re: Toulouse Prediction : Sat Aug 07, 2021 5:18 pm  

Lots of differing opinions on this forum but surely we all agreed on one thing- Paulos Latu didn’t impress.

Re: Toulouse Prediction : Sat Aug 07, 2021 8:37 pm  

What do we all think about this ‘“allocated seating will still apply” tweet?
I’m working on the basis that the ground takes about 3,5k and that about 250 will attend. Orangeman. Can you confirm you didn’t contact the club and say that you and some friends were making a surge for the nirvana that is the top tear. Otherwise feels a bit heavy handed to me. I’d knock that kind of thing on the head if I was the club.

Re: Toulouse Prediction : Sat Aug 07, 2021 10:20 pm  

To be fair, that may be out of the clubs control. The council and ground owner could insist on that.

I know several non league teams battling restrictions imposed on rented grounds way beyond the normal rules

I'm delighted you find positives in things rather then the negatives, but the REALITY, is that the club I began following in 2002 is no longer in existence. Through multiple bad decisions and appointments, 1 person has destroyed what was an inclusive, accepting and friendly sporting club to a niche, select association with an average side, playing in the 2nd tier and dare I say, heading for extinction inside 5 years.
I applaud your ability to see the positives in losing to or scraping past part time sides whilst watched by an ever decreasing audience. I am in awe of your ability to find sunshine in the idea of paying Wimbledon the same rent we paid Harlequins.......and I am astounded that you think the person responsible for our demise deserves anything other than our contempt.

As I said...you're on a bus being driven over a cliff singing cheery songs, whilst the MAJORITY (see missing fans for confirmation) of us are happy we got off a few stops back!
