Mark you spoilt a really good post with the last sentence
but true support is not a one time thing it is an all time thing

There are a great number of supporters who are not willing to be led blindfolded and soak up whatever is thrown at them just becaause it is a club they love. Many of those supporters have been around years longer than you, like you in the past they have travelled to all home and away games but as you get older you can neither afford the time, energy or money to do all home and away games, circumstances dictate and enforce change. Let me also remind you a lot of the people you are decrying are ones who have paid a fortune to the club on donantions, sponsorships, financial deals, fund raising set ups, manual labour and lots of other things. They have given up vast amounts of time and spent their own money in support of this club. Dont accuse people of not being proper supporters because they dont agree with you all the time. We all have our own thoughts and values and expectations and just because they do not agree with your ideals does not make it a bad thing. Think before you speak.

Sogspurs well said! Its now down to see what happens. Tk was happy to stand up yesterday and field questions which was good to see, he could easily have got very frustrated with some of the questions, eg membership or season ticket, its the same thing just doing it a different way.
does the set up make good business sense? Thats for tk and dh I do get the feeling its looking further fwd than just this year tbh if! Tk likes the rl product.

I think some people have become so outraged with their hatred of Gus and others that they are beyond irrational to the point of bitterness, if not crazyness.

But I think that the minimum requirement to go onto the London Broncos fans forum and regularly commentate is at heart a warm feeling towards our club no matter whether we win or lose or your feelings towards any specific component of the club.

It is not a question of how many games you have been to or whether you go to any games at all and neither does it matter whether you agree with me or not.

It is a very sad state of affairs we are in, the club has had its darkest hour and we must unite if we are to once again make our stand.

Because in the end all that matters is that we stand.

The problem with TK is i don't think he is rich enough to say''i like this product so much that i can afford to subsidise losses''. If DH pulls out at the end of this season and no one else steps in i fear that will be the end. If DH maintains his input untill the new Sky money comes in then maybe we will be viable especially if TK can get the crowds up with a winning team. We really do need another investor like DH to come forward soon to plug the financial hole he will leave.

Who would want to subsidise losses? If I won the euromillions and wanted to buy the club I would not want to subsidise losses either, you have to make the club profitable as a business, make players want to play here and fans new old and from a far want to come here. He likes the game but I don't think he has seen a live one yet so I doubt he will just get involved in a club for the sake of it, he must see a business opportunity in us somewhere. The new tv deal will cover a lot of the wages when it comes into place which surely is the clubs biggest outgoing, the rest of the stuff he has to work out how to balance himself but I'm sure he can

How is anything I posted in this thread based on anything other than the NOW? FACT: Landlord gets paid rentFACT: Landlord gets paid by RFL to market usFACT: Landlord gets cut of ticketing revenueFACT: Landlord gets all bar and food revenueFACT: Landlord admits he could so better.Historically (just for you), we've all been here before and got various T-shirts.....I fail to see how some on here expect anything different this time around!

Sorry could not get the quote thing to work
As some one else has said on here so what!
without it the london broncos would not be here right now!
Rant as much as you want gutters we are still here still fighting and hopefully will be for years to come, fact without this deal good or bad we would not be at the starting point for 2014

Their was no sugar coating yesterday as you suggested 50 or so folk did not hear what they wanted to hear, they heard honest answers to the questions asked, they did admit that they have got things wrong tk the same.
so lets just see what happens on the park

And some people are so in love with themselves and the club that they will blindly follow. London Lemings now there's a rebrand!

When someone suggested that London be dropped from the name The Warder said that "London is a massive market to tap into". What puzzles me is that
A/ the Broncos don't gain whether there are 10 people at the game or 10,000, TK does and he seemed only interested in local marketing
B/ has this massive market just occurred, I could have sworn it was there before and we did nothing about it.

From TK's point of view, if he finds 5,000 new Broncos fans in the Barnet area then Broncos won't ever leave and he gets his money.

If he finds 5,000 new Broncos fans across London then there is every chance that Broncos will say "Thanks very much but we're off to Crystal Palace".
