That point was July 2021......when Ward was removed ad the decision made to go part time made by Hughes. There's no a chance in hell that London Broncos will avoid the drop this year unless there's a change of structure.

That is true. As we have raided Skolars until they have no team left and I suspect there is a rule against kids playing against adults I assume we would forfeit which isn’t a great look.

The match is in doubt due to the weather. If it happens expect a substantial number of Skolars registered players to be in the Broncos team

That’s the status quo now Dan. I think we may be getting into the 3 ex Academy lads which really will be a mis-match and may harm their confidence. In the ordinary course of business they would be eased in via Skolars or at the end of the season.

Not quite. A little birdie tells me these are 2022 Skolars registered players. Not ex Skolars players now registered with Broncos.

If it happens and Wire take it seriously, it's a bit worrying given Skolars lost to Hunslet Parkside

Something just isn’t right here. Let’s see where we are after the York game. If it’s 0-6 then no amount of “we’ve had injuries” can make sense of this approach. It’s just not joined up: expensive ground/ training facilities versus bare bones squad and back room operation. Does anyone really think this will come good?

A friend of mine at Wire who is planning on attending. He is a close friend of several Wire officials.

He e-mailed me about 14.00 yesterday saying the match was in doubt due to the weather. I haven't had any updates since I'm afraid.

Edited for clarity, to say my comment was about the Reserve team game not the first.

Warrington tweeted yesterday evening that the reserves game was postponed. No explanation why but there was an ice warning overnight.

Ah ok sorry I didn't realise that.

Apparently there was standing water on one end of the pitch at Fev yesterday. There is another heavy band of rain due to hit the area in the next few hours but it's forecast to be dry by kick off, pitch bound to be heavy though.
