First game I attended was:![Image](http://www.lbsa.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/020224-Castleford-Cup.jpg)
Buck and Dusty, fans mixing with each other, 6 tins of VB (a half) and the Cowgirls bopping to song number 2 when Denis scored. we fell away in the second half, but none of that mattered when I met some of the team after the game...I was hooked.
Compare that team to the one that ran out on Sunday against Haven and you'll see that in every aspect of the offering, the club has totally lost its way

Sad to say that we went from Play off Standard to knocking on the door of the 3rd tier inside a decade and a half thanks to one mans intransience and inability to take good advice. 2008-2023 The Broncos have pocketed close to 15 Million in central funding if not more and that is the crime Hughes needs to be heckled about. Never mind his "supposed" investment, he's made terrible decisions worse by refusing to admit to his errors.
The current back office scenario is wrong. The current Ground is wrong. The current coaching set up is wrong. The current Squad is in the wrong division. There is no light at the end of the tunnel other than an express train of relegation heading directly for us.
20 years I've followed the club and now when I come onto forums like this and Total I see fans older then I talking of binning shirts, never going back, being banned on social media by the club and their representatives for voicing concerns about anything. Now it is claimed that the attendance on Sunday was well below that declared.......the club threw the dice on AFCwimbledon fans coming and it's not worked. We have 3 home games during the dons off season, 2 of them likely hammerings.
We are planning a trip back to Europe in 2023 and for the first time ever, I am not working it around taking in a broncos game. The club is ruined and unlike AFC Wimbledon, the Official Supporters Group have neither the numbers or associated wealth to raise enough money to pay a weeks rent, let alone cover the costs when Hughes walks...... and if they are ever to survive as a club, Hughes needs to be gone sooner rather than later.
