Was Colemans record the worst ever by a Broncos coach? Was the Aussies at Barnet worse?

we must have spent about £10,000+ on promoting the Widnes game (just that game???).

3 times that....possibly 5 times as there'd be no reasin for either metro or the standard to proffer any discount given they were one offs and not a campaign.
Grimas record was slightly better and the only thing about 5his debacle that makes me smile is that I predicted the coach would be sacked in May back before the season began....as well as the highest gate figure and the average gate figure (so far).....but.lets face it, no London Broncos fan believed Coleman would see out the season.
Hughes is a cancer

Just as an aside here has anyone seen the twitter post about the players doing the plank. Is that the bar they are training in? You get what you pay for don’t you. I remember doing U12 football training in a church hall one season. That felt all a bit make shift but then subs were only about £1 so not the end of the world.

Yes, it's the bar.

Beggars belief.....

Ealing are apparently going ahead with their ground improvements and aim to have a 5K capacity ground by the end of their next season, by which stage the RFU will have made a decision on having a minimum capacity requirement. I personally like the way Ealing go about their business, declaring that they believe promoted teams should be given time to grow crowds and not just immediately rent a 20k stadium that they will never fill.

If we'd stayed there for this year, we certainly could of used the gym that Hughes was so proud of, rather than the Bar at a local amateur Union club and we could have saved the thousands wasted on a reboot and maybe employed championship level people into key positions. Just a thought

More bullcrap delivered by another short time employee of the club..... If you want tea and sympathy, then steer clear of Professional sports as a career......and as for this quote “If you want to help the club, they are always looking for volunteers. ...maybe not let another ex-member of staff bar anyone who dared disagree with him.....

Absolutely agree 100% - the 2022 business plan made absolutely no sense whatsoever.

To be absolutely fair, as we like to be on this forum, to us supporters who have none of the background the ‘plan’ is not only lunacy but self harming. It’s possible that to those in the know some elements of the ‘plan’ have some internal logic although it’s difficult to see how the inter-connected and inter-dependent parts of the ‘plan’ could work well. On the plus side plans can always be redrawn and/or scrapped although prompt and decisive action is best rather than dawdling.

Richard Whiting shows what blinkered view of the fans the officers of the club have.
In truth, the club have always treated the fans as bit of a nuisance, something to be tolerated.
Sure the club are looking for fans to volunteer, but if you have been around the club as long as I have you will know how badly it treats its volunteers. Once bitten twice shy.
Look at the contempt the club showed the LBSA, when without warning, they formed the BOSG to undermine them.
That soon came off the rails, did it not.
The club needs to build bridges. The effort needs to come from the club, it will not come from the fans.
Criticising fans for telling it how it is, will not help, however unpalatable the club and players may find it.
Sorry team but if you confidence is shattered by criticism, perhaps RL is not the sport for you. Being out on that pitch, if you accept the adulation you should be prepared for criticism. That's how I see it.
