Bronco's Survive Another Season : Fri Dec 13, 2013 8:34 pm  

Well what a surprise the RFL have been working closely with the Broncos and Barnet FC over the last 10 days to stave off administration and find them a new home for the 2014 SL season. With a whopping maximum crowd capacity 0f 5,167 . Good news for the genuine supporters of the Bronco's but where has all this SL criterea business gone and will the RFl work with Swinton Lions over the next 10 days to help them? Farce!

Sorry but this comes across as just another hope and prey chance. The details are sketchy and doesnt offer much change to the past. SL and the RFL are running around like headless chickens with no plan in what they are doing or where they want the game to grow and how to properly achieve success. For a great sport its just a shame its run by so many clueless egomaniacs

Investors will be tripping over themselves to pick off the low hanging fruit. Masses of potential down there. Huge population. Kids are playing the game in schools, skate parks and the streets.

I'm excited.

The RFl are just keeping them on life support right now IMO and are waiting for a cure.

Totally agree TLBC. All I see is reactive measures to an ever worsening domestic game crisis. Where is the strategic planning, commercial planning, pro active management to bring the game together and those lost 'bums back on seats' at all levels. Perhaps this is what the disgruntled SL Chairmen who walked out of the last meeting were unhappy with? Only time will tell but to be honest I do hope for Fax sake re promotion and relegation chance and the games sake that somebody somewhere grows a pair, and challenges those at the top. If you accept mediocrity that is exactly what you will get !!!!!
Let's have somebody at the top who tells it as it is, not spin, and unites all levels of the game and its supporters so we can all take ownership to get the game moving again in the right direction.
Apologies to those who have read similar posts from me before but I really do feel so passionate about what is /or rather is not, happening at the moment in a game I have watched man and boy for 46 years!

I see the goalpost have moved again reading this with 'special dispensation' given to Go OVER the overseas quota AGAIN. Just beggars belief how the RFl just continue to move the goal posts depending on which club you are!
So I read this as London can now go and get as many Aussies as they want to make sure they don't finish in the bottom two in case there is relegation. Likes of Cas, Wakefield however have to stay within the rules and run the gauntlet. Groundhog day with a lot more riding on it for some SL clubs this time.Wouldn't that be the mother of all ironies if two clubs went down-and those were Bulls and Bronco's despite the RFL bending their own rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

Once the photo's i've seen on the internet of Featherstone's brand new centre of excellence finally make their way to Red Hall, Cas & Wakey had better watch out for their future's in the top tier because they look to have a fantastic new facility there and ground improvements that already embarrass their nearby brothers & sisters.

Just seen a post on the bulls forum getting tetchy towards London saying they should have a 6pt deduction and half their sky money taken away.

What the poster has failed to remember is that unlike the bulls, London avoided admin, and no one at London has been shortsighted enough to suggest that a drop in sky money as a sweetener to any deal to keep them in the league.

I'd imagine a few more will get upset about London as time goes on. London now need to recruit a team for next season, Bradford have said that players can leave, will we see so e head south? As there's no where else for many of them to go as most clubs have finished recruiting and have spent their budgets. Only exception might be Warrington who have had some space freed by briers retirement.

But then Warrington are a top club, is there anyone at Bradford left who they'd want?

As for Swinton, it's a mess what's happening there. Fans co-operative may be the way forward for them, it's worked at Rochdale, but they need it get things sorted fairly quickly
