I and the rest of my family are blocked too. Some Monkey does not like criticism.
This does not reflect well on the club though.

Surprised they have time to block anyone in between peddling player sponsorships. It's all they seem to communicate via social media. Shambles.

would love to comment but I too would be banned.

You should wear your banning as a badge of Pride.

Sorry, out of touch again, I'm assuming the latter actually had a (potentially) useful function for the concerned supporter? And no longer exists?

I'm only a Trust member, not on the committee or anything. The Trust has a few roles - it sponsors the Academy, it raises funds for Broncos-linked charity events, it established and maintains a player database, and hosts events, etc. It would like to have a more formal relationship with the club, but the Broncos keep it very much at arms length - although it is happy to accept money from the trust. It still exists, and will probably be around as long as the club is.

The OSG provides the club with a fig leaf to say it is listening to fans, so it can continue to ignore the Trust.

That's a step up from recent months, where they've mostly been promoting the commercial manager's private company.

The Trust have also done a lot of work on the clubs heritage. Something the club are now showing now showing some interest in.

Not the only place you can get banned from accorrding to certain supporters of the club.

Hopefully BOSG will take up the issue of fans being blocked / posts deleted by Broncos.

I didn't see any of the posts and the Broncos may have a reasonable explanation however: it needs raising to verify that is the case.

The RFL are placing a lot of weight on social media following, arguably too much. It was one of the SL application criteria when Leigh went up from memory.

Any policy that may drive people away from Broncos social media needs careful thought and implementation. BOSG will be doing the club a favour if they verify this is the case.

WQ and thats the problem with social media.
Poats like that which are directed insults at individuals, are not needed or helpful
