About the same crowd as last few weeks

Had a good chat with Ryan Atkins and Danny washbrook after . Thought we had a good set of young lads who need 3/4 years together… good guys who talked sense and know the game inside out

Where were you say orangeman?

A lot of our loyal fans, after a great win! seem to be missing, passing comment?

Not really sure what that means though?

Well after 25 years I've been missing last season (donated the season ticket money to the club) and this season due to ill health. I hope to be back later this season. Apologies I can't comment today.

BTW it seems most of "our" loyal fans weren't missing as it has been stated the crowd was similar to the last few. It might be worth asking why the loyal support base is now that low rather than burning bridges with those who have had enough.

Given he lives in NZ I think Orangeman can explain his absence

Sorry if you missed me jaybs been a bit busy today.

Good win indeed & a good start for Tom. Be interesting to see if Hughes gives him the job permanently or brings in God knows who.

Great response from the team following last weeks result.

Does that gloss over losing our well established and respected coach mid season or the fact we're moving to a far bigger stadium, with bigger costs and a crowd that has at best averaged 300 in the last three games? Of course it doesn't, whilst we can't control those issues off the pitch, surely people are right to be concerned?

These are games we should be winning. We are better than half the side in the league, and worse (by some way) than others. I wont knock the players, they give their all but the squad is miles away from challenging and if we thought otherwise then the club are dillusional tbh.

I just cant get away from the terrible running, the lack of marketing, the shedding /alienating of fans. Good win yesterday but the club is a shambles, no way about it.

Re: YORK AT HOME THIS WEEKEND : Mon Jul 12, 2021 8:02 am  

Ml came on this forum to say there was big news that would show the direction the club is heading in. I must admit I got my hopes up. We started off by making a few decent signings, but lets be honest, the squad is avge for the champ. Its not a squad to challenge. Now maybe there is a plan, maybe it is to grow the squad over the next couple of years and then give it a go. Problem being any youngster that looks half decent will be snapped up. And if we do go PT then I just cant see how we build a strong enough squad
There is part of me that could even understand letting Ward go. If Ward stated he was not renewing his deal then yeah, move on and being someone in to get settled. The fact Ward did not want to renew should be of concern though.
The move, yeah it's a nice ground but playig confront of 300 wont work. Are we going to try an generate fans/interest. Are we going to try and build some bridges with the missing 1000s. Or are we gonna sit tight and hope some turn up and watch Londons best kept secret.
I've no doubt most on here will label me a constant moaner, tbh I can live with that. Am I really wrong in what I say?? The club does zero favours for itself. I beleive there is huge potential for the Broncos but it will not amount to anything unless the club has a long hard look in the mirror.
It's a sorry state of affairs. The club means a lot to alot ofmpeople but it seems the club does not seem to realise or care. its happy lumbering along to its death rather than swallowing some pride maybe and starting to get itself back to where it could be

Orangeman used to post here as another entity. They said london 4k average would vanish.
That other poster was right......l
Let's laugh at orangeman....

Re: YORK AT HOME THIS WEEKEND : Mon Jul 12, 2021 8:48 am  

I guess you also need to take away fans into consideration when looking at the numbers. I could be wrong, but normally York should have more travelling fans than Haven or Swinton, but as I did not go yesterday, can't comment on how many away fans attended (we did go to haven and swinton games).

But it was a great result, and I'm glad for the team that they have put the Fev shambles behind them

From a distance seems like a great win from an inexperienced side.

York have wasted some money on pensioners. The so called super coach at York must be under pressure

Congratulations on a superb first win for the interim coach.
