FFS you are at it again talk about glass full glass empty, think someone must have stolen your glass.
DID I MENTION THE CURRENT ARRANGEMENT
OK I will put it simply for you, the business arrangement that Mr Hughes and Mr K have is up to them. If and when that comes to an end, someone else is going to have to come in and take over the running and financing of the club! That may well end up being TK it may not.
If the fans turn out in better numbers, irrelevant of where the gate receipts are going now, bigger crowds, the squad may respond, squad responds with results, better results more people come!
THE PRODUCT now looks like it is a product worth getting involved in.
So yes we are the solution, If we had been drawing 10k plus for the last few seasons would we be in the same place that we are now?

Not sure if you know how it works, in a pro club if there are no fans then then there is no club, so sorry mate but yes we are the solution.

What I am trying to get into that jelly head of yours is you constantly have a go at other posters.

The business arrangement between Hughes and Kleanthouse was brokered by and was conditional on a financial payment made by the RFL to Kleanthouse. As I have already said this agreement as it is will not exist in 2015.
As for the fans being even part of a solution, if he hardcore support in the past struggled to get friends and colleagues to games when we had the likes of Wigan cing to town then god help them wen it's fev or fax. As for no fans = no club.....you really are naive aren't you! This year the fans deliver £0.00 in revenue to the club......Hughes has never cares about fans or the need to attract them.....he wrote cheques for 2 million a year to fund HIS team......if he cared about the business side of things ten he'd never have employed Blanchard or the African.

Anyone else suffering match fatigue?

Got to say I'm not exactly looking forward to yet another schlep across London to the Hive.

I guess if we had the prospect of actually winning a game, it wouldn't seem so bad but this is really testing me out today.

Still, sun is out so COYB!


Oh look the original post and thread.

Well it's a couple of weeks with no home games. Good luck to the lads today at Castleford. Sad how things are but could not stomach the eight hour round trip. Just have to go along to Skolars and see how they are getting on.

I have to agree, this is such an overdone story with no supporting evidence and for those who want to see Broncos play, largely irrelevant.
Representatives of the club have said they are staying at the hive, they have contracted players for next two seasons and appear to be looking forwards. They certainly don't give the impression of a club preparing to wind down in 12 months time.

I think most fans don't care how much it costs Hughes and I certainly get the impression that this isn't the first and probably wont be the last time that the demise of the Broncos will be foretold by soothsayers trying to tell the future in the numbers of the past.

Barnet FC have been through this, financial backer withdrew, all players lost, in a league well out of our depth ending up with a record low points. We are now in a a far better and sustainable place, all be it at a lower level. So ignore Gutterfaxs financial hypotheses of doom and support what the club are doing for next season.
