Brian, let me give you a guide to the gutterfax publicity vehicle that is the Broncos forum. It goes a bit like this.

1) a poster puts something up vaguely positive (because lets face it, we like watching rugby and continue to turn up to games despite all the shenanigins off the pitch)
2) gutterfax flames them for being positive, and bangs on about people who've long since left the club (I call it 'Gustalgia', the longing for the days when he had an easy target for all that pent up ire)
3) the poster says "I know it's not perfect, but we can't change the past"
4) gutterfax writes a small essay with a blizzard of statistics (or more likely just copies and pastes it, because it never varies much)
5) the poster tries to continue being vaguely positive because they have no power to change stuff off the pitch and just want to watch rugby
6) gutterfax writes a spleen filled rant filled with thinly disguised swearing and highly personal insults

Repeat. Ad infinitum. Until the poster no longer comes on the forum.

And then when you write a post like the above he just says 'what do you expect you're all deluded idiots and need educating by me the all knowing genius' and it all starts again.

Well, I've finally been tempted to come out of Winter Hibernation & contribute to this discussion.
I think the reason a lot of people don't bother to post during the off season is that news depends on rumours, speculation & the occasional announcement of any relevance from the club.
I'd like to throw my hat into the ring with those who are positive about our upcoming season & say that I can't wait for the friendly against The Skolars. It will be great to catch up with other deluded friends (who still turn up after 5 or 6 years of mediocre rugby) & share my hopes for the new season.
Yes we are in the Championship this year but at least we will compete & it will make a nice change to turn up to a game knowing we have a chance of winning instead of how many we will lose by.
I feel Joe Grima will be good for us, as player after player who have signed for the club have stated they were convinced to sign, by his enthusiasm & aims for rugby in London. So his "Man Management" skills are obviously a cut above what we have seen with our previous two managers.
Add your names to the few who have posted hope for the future on here & let's turn this into a positive thread instead of a "Doom & Gloom" one.
