Given how quiet the site has been I will raise this now.

For the last X years the playing kit/replicas haven't been ready for the new season. One year it wasn't event ready for the players to wear.

Have the club booked it for 2016? or will it be ready for Jun 16. (I realise sponsorship plays a large part.)

I know this is a bit off the wall but, if we actually planned things out. We would have it all organised for a kit launch and meet the players in mid November, with plenty of stock to enable people to purchase Christmas presents. You could also flog season tickets. This would keep people on board during the off season as the new season would not be too many weeks off from starting.

We could alternate one year meet the players, the next year open day at the new venue

How right you are.

That would involve excessive planning ahead

That's a knock on effect of the club not caring about the supporters......the supporters start to no care about the club.

Where to start?
We have about 125 members, of which at least 20% will not bother next year. A good number of "regular" fans on here have said they've had it too, so why have a seasons launch event that will be attended by 50 people at most. Then, why rush the "new" shirts out so you can shift 50 of them to fans for christmas, when it is cheaper to get sponsors logos printed into the fabric rather than iron on stickers like we had in 2013. As for keeping people on board? The club have made it obvious that fans aren't important and the move to a stadium (sic) with less than 1,000 seats shows that we don't matter.

Goodbye

And some wonder why this board is dying? Debate and conversation from opposing sides is good, regardless of whether you agree or not.
But rather than discuss the topic, you again announce loudly that you're putting me on ignore in the hope that a pointless ban will be forthcoming.
Its a very long river in Egypt....,

Drone

am gonna go all Gutterfax on you, 94000 plus posts on london Broncos does not look like the forum is dying, in fact there has been quite a lot of heated debate the last few weeks

94,000 posts? How many in 2015.....?
What have the busiest threads been in 2015?
There was a thread aboutbthe Sheffield game for those who were there only. Its hardly what you call busy

It might also reflect that only a handful of the 'core 500' who actually go to games come on this forum. If the handful who posted on that thread truly represent those who were there, and more relevantly those that come on here and don't go to games, then that says a lot (and that is not a dig at you btw)

[size=50Sorry, I'll be quiet about it in future[/size.
There would of course be no need for another ignore action if you didn't keep changing your i/d.

Oh my God has he gone Irish now?

I think the hint on the sheffield thread for those that were there was to try and promote discussion on the actual game rather than it becoming a rant about DH Gus Rob P IL etc
As for how many in 2015 ask gutters

If I recall there was an actual thread here. I wonder if the club will have sponsor sorted out early on and actually launch its shirt in January.

I hope so. The 2015 sponsor was quite clear why he was on board and the business networking sessions appear to be popular so maybe we could have a full shirt fornnext year. That said, the irony of the shirt being available for Xmas would be quite delicious given we won't sell many
I'd love to see this years shirt retained and a new away one for 2016......and please can we change the club badge to red, black and white........

Our current sky blue & white away kit, only worn once, will be out away kit if needed next season, GF. See here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zs16IdaGGO0

We wear a light away shirt and the home side decide to wear their alternate shirt which is also light, beggars belief. But classic RL, no idea of ensuring a contrast so they could sell the product to other countries (even those still in b&w) even if it did have the nouse to do so.

Personally, I'd like to see the home colours retained and the Away strip reversed like the NZ warriors, white with a black/red chevron. I'm not suggesting that the Broncos go OTT like the NZ W's do (insane amount of shirts and merchandise every year), but that they at least have a steady corporate brand that they wish to push.
Start by switching out the blue for red on the logo!

Play in skins, that'll sort it out.

230 odd topics on this board since BroncOnion announced the 5,000 one back in December 2014. I was going to post a list of the 20 or so threads that got above 30 posts since then, but in researching that I discovered a key moment when traffic here dropped off and a number of posters stopped posting........and no Michael, it wasn't the end of gutterfax, emigatic of Jim Pooley, but it was instead the announcement that J. Grima had walked. I believe that this was the straw that broke quite a few backs as it was acceptance that we had once again got it wrong and that we were not heading back to SL.

I can assure you Molly Malone that was not the reason that I now read daily, but do not post as regular as I once did! more stupid posts and vendetta's which achieve nothing.

Them's the statistics jaybs....and in this case they can't lie or be manipulated to suit, because they are just cold hard facts.

Speaking of cold hard facts, have you accepted that the rumours about Ealing Trail Finders were in fact accurate, or will you scurry off to Twitter like the apologist that you are?

230 odd is not a statistic more of a statement. Originally thought this was the Doncaster first game thread.

No formal news as yet on the ground. Bets on how many weeks after season anything gets actually announced.

Glad Gardiner is back. Think he adds quite a bit to the team. I'd be surprised if Davis doesn't keep his spot.
