To try to answer the OP's query:

- On field performance was always going to be very poor this season. We knew this 6 months or so ago when the established squad was allowed to disintegrate without the possibility of any new recruitment until the new ground-share was finalised. Other clubs have had squads assembled and in training together since early November. We still have players arriving within the past couple of weeks. And of course, being so late at the races, we've been able to recruit only those players that nobody else wanted.

- Off-field, there is no evidence of any leadership or attempts at supporter engagement from whoever is currently "managing" this "organisation". Just one example (which has already been highlighted by others) - I've been a season ticket holder for more than 10 years. I've bought no ticket of any type this season. And how has the club reacted to my disappearance from the stands and the revenue stream? Not at all. Not a single contact. I recall that a few seasons ago I was a bit dilatory about renewing my season ticket. What happened then? I received a phone call, on behalf of the club, from one of the academy lads. But now? NOTHING. I'm afraid that the club deserves to die because it's doing almost nothing to keep itself alive.

When will it sink in........it is not a ground share. The landlord receives money from London broncos, money from London broncos fans and from the RFL.......London broncos don't "share" anything

Exactly.
This season I have had a 50% off voucher through the post from Hemel Stags as I went to one RLWC game and today I got an e-mail from the RFL offering me half price ticket for London Slokars...nothing from the Broncos.

Thank you all for taking the time to write a post. One thing is clear, whether I agree or not , you all clearly have a passion for the club that can only be applauded.

Personally, I don't think its worth the £50 for the family, plus the travelling costs to watch a team who at this moment in time look like certainties to be relegated. The team are really trying but I don't see why I should part with hard earned cash to watch them get hammered.

I wish you all the very best for the remainder of the season, and someone should talk to Barry Hearn about how he turned snooker and darts into major sporting attractions ! Now there's a man who knows how to put bums on seats........

And you call me a nit picker.
If you don't like the use of the term ground share, kindly provide some succinct alternative wording and I'll amend my post.

If the Stoop was a groundshare (i.e. you paid money for use of someone else's stadium), then so is the Hive. . Broncos share a home ground with Barnet and London Bees, that to me makes it a groundshare regardless of how the money is split.


The thing that I really don't understand is:
We know the whole admin has been replaced, we know that the new admin emailed thousands of people on a contact list it had been provided from the previous admin.

Why in hell were these people who were season ticket holders last year not on this list? What happened to the list of season ticketholders last year or in earlier years?

I still maintain that the new admin team don't have all of last years details so if they haven't contacted you yet I doubt they ever will. Therefore if you are waiting for the Broncos to contact you before you go again then you are in for a very long wait.

If I was in this position of wanting to see Broncos play and not being contacted then I would be ringing up and asking why I haven't been contacted. Obviously if you are looking for a reason not to go because of what has happened to date then not going because you haven't been contacted is very convenient for you.

The club bunged it up on the internet for all to see.

Hence peeing off the few loyal customers they had left.

We all know this and sadly it helps no one. I fail to see a way forward due to the mistakes of the past compounded by the current issues.
