I'm still going to go because I don't want to see Super League disappear in London, but right now I don't feel like I'm going to make effort to take people with me, to spend money at the club on merchandise etc or to participate.



And it's only my first season, but between the way it appears to be run and the general negativity (maybe justified) amongst supporters in the crowd (bloomin' flat cappers!) I'm seriously turned off.

The saddest thing is that the club don't appear to give a damn about the fans..... If I still lived in London I would probably go, but then again, If I still lived in London I'd probably be barred from games

Good post bro and I salute you. I must admit, its quite embarrassing reading the posts of our so called supporters who are all throwing hissy fits as we are having a rough season. You lot should be bloody ashamed of yourselves and in no way should you ever class yourselves as Rugby League supporters or supporters of London Broncos.



I am happy to accuse some people of having their head in the sand but at least they are positive in the future. Instead all I see is morons wanting to return their season tickets and knee jerking to the point where we should fold. Humiliating.

Define a "rough season"?



On the pitch played all the other teams.....beaten Wakey and Castleford.....lost 11 other games. Those losses have seen 69 tries conceded.The Players look (apparently) bereft of ideas in attack and clueless in defence...the coach is out of his depth.

Off the pitch, the efforts to date would seem to be worse than any attempted in previous years....shirts late arriving, no sponsors, lowest average attendance in the history of the superleague in London, asking for advice on facebook

.....the list goes on.



As I say, I would probably still drag my to games if I still lived in London........but not for much longer if they keep on messing everything up

Does anyone know why the Chairman retains a coach who is incapable of coaching a a team to anywhere near its maximum potential?



The team has not won an away game in 14 months, and the team defence is leaking at a huge rate. Some of the young London players do not know how to tackle. The failure of the coach is obvious even to a blind man. David Hughes has paid a lot of money to recruit some high quality players (e.g Gower, Robertson, Kaufusi), but he has not recruited a competent coach. So given the fact that the coach has been seen for more than a year to be incapable of doing his job, why does the Chairman retain him?



I cannot comprehend this situation.

Poor effort

I read an interesting article about Steve Kean the Blackburn football manager yesterday discussing why the owners keep him on as head coach when its clear he is out of his depth. They have just been relegated and have had protests at the ground for a significant part of the season.



The conclusion of the piece seemed to focus on Kean being a yes man and "their man" (the one they installed against all odds)



DH has had a numerous opportunities to get rid ie post the Reds game, Bulls game, in fact most games.



I cant work out why DH hangs on to Powell- it will take ages to turn the club culture around when he is gone- to many of the players will be used to losing

as its being ignored because it might be about marketing,,,,I repeat here!

Has someone hacked Lister's account ?

MatthewVose For a first season you have gone through a time which is something like never experienced before and hopefully never again or it will be the end of Super League in London.



But I will never Judge supporters our own or opposition we all approach watching the game in a different way! We pay our good money and that is our choice! I will Never Forget that first game at Fulham, Mums Dads Kids and even Grandparents sat together, not a clue about the rules of the game but loving what rugby league brought to them rather than football, I can still see their faces we need to bring that back again, it is not living in the Padt! it is what our great game was built on a Family Friendly Sport!



Yes I am down at present with the way the club are doing things but I live with Hope this can't continue someone will wake up before it is too late and do something to save Our Club and Super League in London. Hang on in There!

yesterday was shocking. Utter disorganisation, amateur standard play - lower level amateur at that, lazyness, players obviously uninterested, no heart, nothing. I cant believe Rob Powell still has a job. It's a joke. That team does not deserve to be playing in Super League.

I'll be at Gillingham, my daughter is in the minis festival in the morning and the Broncos game is our, err, highlight of the day. As I said to 'er indoors last night I'm worried that just as I'm getting my girl into RL she's going to cotton on to the fact how utterly abysmal the Broncos are and it'll put her off for life. She'll be seeing us get whupped next week and she'll be seeing us get whupped the weekend after that as well. Thank God I took her to Dewsbury for her first game!

For me the real sadness was the utter predictability of it all. We all knew it would be a humiliation - Sky did, bookies did, Huddersfield did, fans did, and sadly it seems the players did.
