Re: If the Broncos survive will you still support them? : Sun Nov 03, 2013 3:34 pm  

Think we have been down a similar discussion thread, and I managed to upset loads of folk.
Why not support em? Its rugby league still the best game I know
if they are playing in the top flight I dont actually care who is running it or what the rfl are willing to offer.
Its interesting tho, nothing from the club, nothing from the rfl, nothing from any other clubs who could take our place next season.
either 2 things you can take from that, the discussions are progressing ok and we will compete next year or we are gone and they are holding the news back till after the WC
if its the second option then am gobsmacked that the rl world and the rl press have kept it shut.
if we are in the comp next year I will be there, if not will be at oxford

Really depends on the location and concessions granted to us. If we're in Edgware with a pants team, yes. If we're in SW London with a pants team, no. If we're exempt from relegation and full of foreign players I'm really not sure.

Dilemmas, dilemmas. On the one hand I've been watching them for many years so should stick with it. On the other hand Gus might mistake my continued support as validation of what he's done.
I suspect I probably will.

I find it strange that people would desert the club theyve supported for years and who now need their support more than ever before would desert them over their antagonismt to one man. If we survive its a new owner? with a new vision we hope. Without that it wont matter who the ceo is.

I will support our club in any format, ground etc.

We have about 16 players signed up...

Robertson, Colbon, Caton-Brown, Little, Dixon, Witt, Woodburn-Hall, Krasniqi, Bishay, Dollapi, Rodney, McMeeken, Lovell
Subs: Grady, Wicks, Macani

If there is no club, I'm not sure what I'll do.

I don't know if I could support someone else, but I do like the North Wales Crusaders so I'd consider watching them I guess for the away trips which I like a lot.

I would support a Broncos team if it (somehow) managed to resurrect itself but I wouldn't buy a Season Ticket. Only a total change of both coaching and management staff would give me the confidence to do that.

Like I said we have been down a similar discussion path, so am going to be careful what I say, there are folk on here who have been through thick and thin, and been rl supporters for many a year, but just look at all the clubs round tye country that have won nothing, do their supporters desert them at the drop of a hat?

As a Salford fan about this time last year it was starting to dawn on us that we might not have a club to support.
A few weeks later it was confirmed how bad the situation was and while it did divide opinions
ie the previous CEO and owner's the majority of fans vowed that if needs be we would form a fans club and play in the North West Counties League.
The fans raised something like 30K over a few short weeks over the Xmas period.
We knew in our hearts it was never going to be enough to save the club but it's better to try dying than just to give in.
When Marwan came in and saved the club he told a group of fans that during his negotiations he was close to walking away but said the one thing that stopped him was the enthusiasm of the fans to save the club. Now that could quite easily be spin but you must show any investor interested in the Broncos that you are worth saving and this debate really doesn't do that.
I don't want to sound like I'm telling you how to support your club but I am asking you to stop and think do you want your club to survive if so stick with them even if it means playing in the Championship or even on a park somewhere because once it goes the vast majority won't return
Even with all the hope Marwan has given us there are still people who say they will never return.
So hang in l really hope you find a saviour and if that means starting at the bottom then take a look at the Crusaders they now feel like a club that are getting back on track.

bezzer well said!
Lots of folk on here are saying they will not support the team if its still run by the current CEO. I don't give a stuff who is running the club as long as I have a club to follow!
Lets see if we get a backer sorted lets get a team out there and lets get behind the team! If we don't have a team then hey ho we all go and watch our rugby elsewhere.
