As it stands, one month out, difficult not to see that it will be another challenging year. As is, bottom 4 seems realistic. I hope we spread the wins out a bit though - may assist morale and gate receipts. We also are unlikely to be able to default to Skolars when we run thin on numbers as we’ve kind of shown our hand there - many went straight back - difficult to think they would have given glowing reports even should the players be of “the standard”. If we don’t get our recruitment drive into second gear we may end up giving Hammersmith Hill Hoists and North Herts Crusaders a bell come March time.


Have often pondered why the amateur game in London hasn't made bigger strides given Broncos have been around for 40 odd years training umpteen academy players. It may be rose tinted glasses, but I reckon Peckham & London Colonials were far stronger in the 80s than Hoists or Chargers are now. Either might even be a good match for Skolars too.

I've tried to think of a way to blame Hughes for it, but can't think of one at the moment.

Pretty much think apart from cricket (as its a summer game) all team sports have suffered owing to Premier League football taking all the money from a shrinking pool

Not sure the pool is shrinking, sports attendance was at record level in the UK in 2022 boosted by Commonwealth Games and Women's Euros. Attendance at Women's sport in general is growing. Football does dominate though accounting for 2/3 of all attendance.In a city the size of London we should be able to attract 5,000 fans.
