Where are we going to play? Im assuming they are confident of the Wimbledon application.

I wonder what the ambitious plans are?

Until we know more, it seems as we are in no hurry to move into Wimbledon? until supporters are back? If people are going to be watching on the RL App, it would be good to be seen in a top ground that Wimbledon seems, it may encurage them to want to visit!

Can I just say, without Danny Ward the club really would be in the poop.

Henderson started the centralisation of the teams and was doing a good job as coach. Had he stayed i think we would be in a similar position.

Possibly, but under Danny Ward the team spirit seemed to improve no end. We have had better players in the past but the team that got promoted and exceeded expectations In SL was way more than the sum of its parts.

I get the negativity Dave I do.
but the mistakes that lost his the majority of supporters were over a decade ago.
The state the whole sports in the UK is not in great shape.
As far as I understand every single rugby league club has lost fans year on year apart from Castleford.
Maybe Leeds attendance will go up on average with there lovely new stand.
but for the likes of us nomads who never owned a ground or bar blah blah blah.
We simply don't make any money as a club.
Trailfinders bless it did its job stabilize the club.
Because I'm sure it was very cheap.
And on the field product improved.
We got promoted in 2017 had great fun in 2018.
Crowds may never come back and we maybe dust as a club/business.
Our biggest hurdles are crowds getting more bums in seats.
The fear of promotion and relegation.
And a permanent home but if plough lane comes off it's an agreement for 10-years.

Which is a start.

Agree with all of this, especially with the suggestion that the mistakes were made 10 years ago. And insanely, one of the biggest mistakes the club has ever made continues to draw a salary from the the pockets of Hughes

Setting the ticket prices at £25 for our latest 'permanent' home is hardly the way to get the bums on seats, I'm sure you'll agree?

"As mentioned in last weeks email from our Head of Commercial James Milner our prices are exactly the same as at least one other club in our division and very similar to the other leading teams. By adding in the Polo shirt we felt that supporters were getting a little bit extra on top."
I do not see the point of providing a free polo shirt with membership, why not just make the membership as cheap as possible. I wonder who is making money out of supplying the polo shirts to the club?

Incredible stuff.

I see that the club's social media arm is fully operational this afternoon reporting that sales are apparently buoyant - double figures, I wonder?

I think you might just know the answer to that. Agreed the Polo shirt is pointless.

Don't think i have ever been asked to buy a non refundable Season Ticket without knowing where the games will take place.

At the very least until the Wimbledon deal is done or otherwise, Broncos should be able to announce the backup ground. Surely its not a State Secret?

Indeed. I can't commit until I know where we are playing and have an opportunity to work out how to get there.

Listy, not sure why positivity can be classed as deluded. But hey. But obviously crashman ed3 and victor are part of the same deluded club.
