Don't look if you want cheering up! : Mon Jul 22, 2013 9:37 pm
Is this the worst Season in the History of the Club in Superleague?We need 5 more competition points to equal the 13 we got in 2011....can anyone see us getting them?
133 more points conceded over the last 10 games and we will eclipse 2011 there as well....we are currently averaging 48 points per game conceded.....so on target for 1,300+...a superleague record.
101 points needed to avoid this being our least potent season in the 27 game format....we are looking OK to beat 2010's 494.
currently we are 2 points below the 2011 for and against total of -429 in a season......this will be smashed.
2,216 average attendance with Huddersfield still to come
1st Captain walks out on the club
Replacement captain goes on record with a "come and get me" plea
Still no idea where (or even if) the club will play their home games in 2014, so no planning being done regarding season tickets (which other clubs will start to promote in August).
I for one am sick of the inaction of the RFL in the demise of the club. If London are no longer key to their plans, then David Hughes needs to be told, because why should he invest another 1.5 to 1.7 Million next year if it's all going to be for nothing. The farce around the ground move should be a major alarm for the Red Hall mafia, because if the CEO of London Broncos doesn't get something nailed down soon, then a lot of RLWC 2013 Headlines could well be stolen by the southern based media reporting the demise of the only southern Pro club and the further marginalisation of a sport that whilst trying to host a world cup, will actually be reinforced as not even a national sport, but a localised interest.
The organisation of something as benign as a coach/coaches to Leigh for the biggest game since the 2005 Play-offs seems to have taken them an eon to arrange and yet again, there is little hope of our eastern brethren being able to partake, even though the CEO has taken 3 OTG games that way
We were revived by Ian Lenegan in 2005 when we were close to deaths door...I am starting to believe it may have been kinder to let us die then, because apart from maybe 18 months "new club/new hope syndrome" we really have been rotting from the inside out.
As for the future of London Broncos RL? Curry nights
and Selco aside, the club has produced little of any interest to potential investors.....Gus has shed close to 500k a year in lost revenue and the conveyer belt of talent isn't looking as plentiful as we have been led to believe...especially when it comes to stepping up to SL intensity.
