I suspect the attendances thus far have underwhelmed all concerned.
Frankly, it looks like their plan was to stick posts in the ground and announce a kick off time.......I'm stunned it hasn't worked

This is bullcrap, one of the grounds genuine redeeming features. If they must do it just close the South and leave the north open.

It's a tiny stadium, if they can't leave the 2 terraces open for every game they may as well pack up their balls and leave. Give the players to the Skolars and move them in to The Hive. Seriously, we are the worst run pro-sports club in the UK bar none.

AK sees us as nothing more as an income stream. The income wasn't "streaming" enough, so he's cutting back on his costs. He's a businessman.....although I'd be asking where the marketing budget (BRIBE) the RFL gave him has gone......
We are tenants but with the added bonus of not having any recourse to our landlord.....the baby went out with the bathwater, along with the family silver and any semblance of dignity or professionalism the club had left....and a great many here stood by and politely applauded

Haha. I remember when you were originally Gus's puppet, telling everyone that you wouldn't judge the Harlequins-to-Broncos re-brand until 3 months into the season or summat even though it was plainly a catastrophe from the start. How times change!

Actually, I was against the rebrand, but I said I would reserve "PUBLIC"judgement until the 3rd home game of the season, which I did. Thereafter, I have spoken my mind when it comes to all things at the club.

As for being anyone's "puppet"....not in this or the next life....as anyone who knows me will tell you.

Taking away the cheapest tickets will really help attract new fans when all that marketing expenditure kicks in......

I'm slightly surprised they didn't go the whole hog and move us to the safety certificate less Underhill. None of those annoying supporter types to worry about then.

Can any of out Barnet Broncos comment on if they close parts of the stadium for the soccerball or is this just another example of a landlord bending us over and the club willingly receiving???
