Quote: BigTime "In fairness to the club for the 2022 season they were just taking the pxxx. This year I suspect the IMG decision, which was entirely predictable, may have impacted on their thinking. I’d like to think it was that not incompetence.'"


You are generous to a fault BT, but hard to know for sure with the existence of the Broncos Omertà.

Attendance trend this season. 5102 - 4116 - 3324 - 2300 (estimated).

The reasons for the 1,000 hemorrhaging per match. I'm scratching my head.

Any guesses what the tell us for the Salford match?

I had an itch by the way, wasn't scratching my head trying to find a reason.

I think, but don’t know, that there are still people coming on free/reduced tickets. This week it felt like there were still some families coming in but less sports club type discounted attendees. I fully support the handing out of discounted tickets but it’s usefulness is reduced if they don’t come back and big losses make that outcome more likely. Possibly larger crowds good for concessions/AFC which helps the relationship there and may well be beneficial to sponsors. On the whole better to have sub 2000 than sub 1000 but I think we all know where this leads if we dont do something about on field results sharpish.

I can't help but smile when I see this. It's not the first time and until Hughes is gone, it won't be the last either.
Post COVID there was a HUGE opportunity to reboot and place ourselves as a viable option for family entertainment expenditure. We have the premier ladies team in our sport in the south of the nation and a viable pathway for youngsters looking at becoming pro athletes, but instead of going large, we announce KO times and hope for the best.....until we host Wigan instead of whitehaven and look to rinse lapsed fans and expats whilst hosting 50% freebies, in the inane belief that 1 game will have them hooked.
Hughes is 100% responsible for this and I get no pleasure out of saying he deserves to feel less comfortable in his gold lounge with each decreasing number AGAIN proving that he hasn't a clue what he's doing and the knowledge that only his wealth and narcissism has kept London alive this long where as he could have made the club self sufficient in the same period if he'd not been such an arrogant idiot.
Remember. We had very close to a 5k average when he took over, yet some still applaud him....it's like the orange gimp stateside. Fools will follow what they want to until it's not there and then bemoan "outside" influences, but IMG, the RFL, SL sides or anyone else aren't to blame for this mess....

Clearly more effort has been put into getting people through the doors this season which is good but without a competitive team it is a hard sell. Hughes actually voted for the IMG proposals so should have seen what was coming with the ratings. If not, he is even more stupid than I thought.

Let's hope at least some of the newcomers will stick it out and next season we have both a competitive championship side and effort put into growing the crowds (like we should have done at Cherry Red from day 1).

Now gone to Bulls on loan. No doubt preferable to staying in London.....and of course easier to get to by bus.
