It’s me again! Strewth we agree on something, apart from one Small comment but hey.
Actually I don’t mind folk complaining when they play poorly, its a worthwhile discussion and at least it’s usually folk that have gone to the game!
Those contantly have a go at the owner, can’t change it so why?
Fine we have “fans” that are good time fans only, eg am not coming anymore because we are losing, luckily the club still has the fans that stick around through thick and thin, good on em. Not sure how that makes em apologists but hey.
For me, I go to watch the game I love, and support my chosen team.

WE agree on a few things but we never get personal and we air our thoughts on the forum which is what it is for. I think todays ref was an absolute disgrace and gave 3 tries to Wigan but I know you will come back and praise him see we have differences

Re: Next 3 games : Sun Mar 03, 2019 9:07 pm  

Well today's result is a kick up the a**e for the doom mongers!

Onwards and upwards.......Saints next.

Re: Next 3 games : Sun Mar 03, 2019 9:15 pm  

Not gonna come back and say that at all, but obviously am going to ask if all penalties we got were justified? All the ones against London were on a theme!

Part of the problem with the atmosphere at games is that London fans don't have a place to congregate. You might get a little song from a handful standing in one corner, then later a bit of noise from another group somewhere else, and so on. You need to get them all in one place so that when someone starts up the others can join in, and then it snowballs from there. A small covered terrace along that touchline where the dug outs are located would be ideal, but...

Plenty of noise on bottom terrace of pavilion at Wigan game....my 6 year old daughter made a lot of it and only her second game ever!

I'm currently not planning on going to the Wigan game. I have a deep-rooted dislike of them to start with and to stand on a plastic grass bank and watch the Broncos get schooled is too much to take!

Any regrets?

WQ in disguise! I would always want to see Broncos or anyone beat Wigan so yes it would be nice to have been there.

RL doesn't have the same pull for me these days. As a game generally its lost a lot of what it had, its become stale, lower quality with no standout players of world class like we used to see.

As for the Broncos, Ive been watching for 20+ years and been through the ups and downs with everyone else. Standing on the edge of a field doesn't represent top flight sport to me.

So to answer your question yes it would have been fantastic to have been there( I listened to it with excitement on the radio) but was I really that bothered like I would have been 10 years ago, No sadly not. I can take it or leave it these days.

Why stand on the edge of the field when there is a stand?

Beds bronco, it’s the problem with rugby league in the south. For some fans it’s in the blood! Call it born and bred if you want, for others it’s a sport they came into later. For the latter as the game changes the interest and the draw can easily change.
For the born and bred even as the game changes you can’t walk away from it, and you tend not to lose interest, the game is a million miles away from what I watched as a 10 year old for example.
It’s not a criticism of anyone, I understand it, but it does explain why london struggle with crowds.
Why complain about having to stand in a field when there are seats available, that one I am not quite sure about.

That's just nonsense from start to finish.

If what you're saying is true then no northerners would ever stop watching the game, and yet every club in the game loses and gains fans every season. What's happened to the 10,000 fans Bradford have lost?

And the Broncos don't struggle with crowds because of the inherently fickle nature of southerners, it's because the club has spent years doing its best to upset existing fans and little or nothing to attract new ones.
