Decent roll out ....

Its nearly upon us - our Fans Forum will be held at Ealing Trailfinders tomorrow (Thursday) at 7pm. Latest information I have is that David Hughes, Jason Loubser, Tom Williams and Hendo will be there from the Club; hopefully more including a player or two but no news on that.

Blimey, they'll be not far off more staff than fans in attendance.

And an offering for Saint Hughes.

Wouldn't a sacrifice be more apt? How about of a rugby league club?

Any news on the forum? What was discussed.......

Didn't get home till midnight but will be letting all LBSA members know what was discussed. Have to say I'm very proud today to be involved with the Association. Wherever we are and whatever issues we have, over 50 members turned up in Ealing on a Thursday night for the Forum. The Association is coming of age and will make a real contribution to resurrecting the Broncos.

Good attendance , David Hughes was very open on what has gone on, how he is still committed to the club. How things will work with Trailfinders.
Hendo explained his plans for the squad. Several new signings to come, still trying to recruit certain positions.. Thoughts on the format of the middle eights.
Plans for pre season. His thoughts regarding the club now being concentrated at on base. Playing on a plastic pitch.
The Wigan game in London drew much comment, non complimentary on the whole.
How we need success on the pitch to build attendance, how savings made in ground costs will go into the squad.
How they plan to integrate into the local community and try to build from there.
Much was made of how welcoming Ealing Trailfinders have been. In fact the refreshments at the forum were laid on courtesy of Ealing.
First impressions of the facilities were not too good, but once you had a proper look around it sort of grew on you.
The evening was a success, we are where we are. The Hive is no longer an option. At Ealing we are in the Last Chance Saloon,
it is up to us as supporters but primarily the club itself to make a go of it.

If Hughes was open did he admit he threw away Broncos Super League place because he got the hump at that Challenge Cup result vs Wigan?

Talking of Wigan the badmouthing doesn't surprise me.

True believers & all that.

I believe David's reasons for the wobble run far deeper than just one match, though the words straw and camel may apply.
