I think that might well be one of the factors but there were loads and life’s too short to go through it all again.

But we will.....sooner rather than later. No point in sugar coating it......L1 Broncos v West Wales 2023 ain't gonna cut it for our partners/landlords, so the question why we moved from trailfinders when we're playing out of a 3rd tier RFU ground 18 months later will be relevant.
Or is it that all.of our landlords at the stoop, the hive, trailfinders were all wrong and St David was right?

I believe Broncos were told they would not be readmitted to SL at Ealing.

That may be true but a legal challenge should have been possible especially given it had been used before in SL before.

The key thing is that DH has pritised a move ahead of a competitive team, a choice I suspect no fan would have made.

It was always likely to turn out badly but the club were not capable of seeing that.

Simply reckless.

None of us apart from Man of Kent (who seems to have disappered from t'other forum now) thought the move was a good idea with the squad they have. But to compound it, not to use the facilities of the new stadium (ie fans zone), and not to have any kids entertainment or utilize the fans zone just shows idiocity to a high degree.

Again on Sunday they are giving a water bottle out.. oh I can't wait. Get Buck back, and get some activities for the kids. That is whats needed to keep the parents and kids coming back, as the rugby is not of a standard to get them back

Notice it says on the clubs report on the schools rugby league festival that Buck was there for photos. So why isn't the old stallion there for the games assuming he isn't?

Some bullcrap about covid regulations was given the same week that all the other SL mascots were out and about at game time, a child drove the ball for wire and the dons mascot was in attendance.........AKA, the club couldn't be bothered as Sir David had already asked us.....begged even for us to bring mates.

LB’s Twitter page has updated Coleman’s comments. I thought they were pretty sound and I’m a little more hopeful for tomorrow. However, the picture accompanying it? Anyone else think it’s JC looking at the team and going. “nah!”?

He certainly looks a little wistful.

Watching the womens football from PL & the pitch doesn't look great. When you look at the worst areas, I'd say that was more down to football than rugby. But having been at Quins v Newcastle & Fulham v Blackburn, those pitches aren't great either because of the rain.

Not sure counting attendances is your forte, you always seem to count low!

I've just been back on the site. Counting the red seats as sold/taken.....I see

108 in 103
13 in 104
72 in 105
Approximately 600 on the evening before Kick off.

Twitter is awash with "the boys need your support" type posts to a choir that are now fully blown atheists, together with "you can buy on the gate (now we realized we f$_ked up there) and "kids for a quid" ( now we realized we f&+Ed up there too)
...it all seems like they've given up because they're master plan for the reboot didn't work.

Remember when Mr Hughes begged us to bring mates citing 5k fans? He also said it sometimes would look like the move wasn't working.......hooray....,
He got something right

Following the game on a very good York City Knights twitter feed, since i have been blocked by the Broncos. It appears however that the Broncos are not going to post updates again today anyway. Perhaps they have come to realise that because they have blocked so many no one follows it!

Would appear that York are camped in London's half for most of the time but we have somehow managed a score!

Latest score, London 6 York 12
