Skolars v Wigan @HAC : Fri Nov 01, 2013 12:40 pm  

Skolars have announced that they are playing Wigan at the HAC on Friday 24 Jan. This being an annual fixture with us until now I suspect it's more proof - if needed - that Broncos are dead

What is the compulsion with trying to put 2 + 2 together all the time? Let's just wait and see!

I take it "Blub" & Sarginson will play in this game?

So the Broncos still live.

Sort of.

This was part of the press release

"It should be noted that it is still our intention to arrange our traditional match with London Broncos in January and we will make an announcement on this fixture in due course"

The Broncos couldn't commit. I wonder why? They know the sort of dates that these events usually take place so it could be the 87,439th error from those in charge.

I don't really understand what the Broncos have that sees them unable to commit to a date, I can't imagine that teams are queuing up to play them.

Chances of Broncos having a team by January are probably close to zero.

Good for Skolars. It's become tradition to play at the HAC every year and I've got to quite like the freezing cold Fridays followed by a few beers. Wigan will probably bring a bigger crowd in than Broncos did!

Can they sell many more tickets than they usually do? and remember it is midweek!

Saracens played there and had a temporary stand(s) put up. I imagine that will be too much for Skolars and I think you are right that has a certain capacity.
