Can't fathom at all why if the BOSG are true fans of the club why they remain silent. Nothing of course on their twitter feed challenging. Cannot just be because they have surgically attached themselves to Hughes & Lobster's buttocks.

BOSG is a Monkey Lover project. He did tell me at that they had proved to be a disappointment. I am sure it will fade away once ML departs.

I'd suggest the club is on its last legs, regardless of how many apologies and invitations are issued. Yet again Hughes disconnect from reality and inability to take advice has seen him being conned into another move/name change/etc by employees who should never have been employed in the first place.
During the pandemic there was a HUGE opportunity to build up an "on line" fanbase community. Simple things like.old games, interactive quizzes, competitions etc...all could have been maintained remotely, but instead we got the shambles of 2021 followed by the most unwanted move in the clubs modern era. A total disconnect from the real fans and now the chief architect is on his toes.
Personally, my son has had a broncos shirt every birthday, but not ever whilst that idiot gets to clip the ticket.

I was involved in the "Dissenters" meeting with Monkey. [That did not last long]. It was put to him and Lobster, why was there so little communication from the club throughout the lock down period. Their answer was simple. Nothing to communicate.
At that time I knew a Professor of Journalism at one of our local Universities. The man has been the editor of a national newspaper. Set up and run a national news/sport radio station and taught journalism, obviously.
I spoke to him on this and he found it incredulous that they were unable to find content, that would keep fans engaged with the club. He said it was a poor excuse. It showed lack of vision and it all seemed to him very amateurish. Someone with a bit of media savvy would not need much of a budget to be able to deal with it.
Thought he summed the Broncos up quite nicely !

I would add to your post I think both Monkey and BOSG are a disappointment, promised the world when BOSG was setup but fell at the first hurdle.

There were fan interviews, word searches etc until ML took over media when the then media manager was put on furlough. Old games were streamed on YouTube too.

Typical Broncos. Start but never finish....I expect the search for a new home will begin in earnest during our summer away from plough Lane.
Given we will likely be in the same division in 2023, skolars would seem like a good fit, especially as we could share squads.

Looking at LB social media, anyone else think the kid who just started doing the Twitter stuff a couple of weeks ago isn’t doing it anymore.

But after the back stabbing he received he did far better for himself and has a dream job with a future not still with a dying on its feet club
