There was 652 of us there and it felt like it
The whole place and atmosphere just felt flat especially with only 1 stand open

The Broncos winning in front of a small crowd is more fun than us getting smashed in front of a big crowd.
I thought the atmosphere was ok considering.

Broncos were strong offensively. I did get worried in the last quarter that we'd relax/lose focus and ship a few tries. We let one through, but were able to put the screw on a tiring Rams.

Sarginson, Kafusi, Gower, Clubb, Rodney and Bryant did well. Caro and Dixon broke the line a few times.

The Rams had a few breaks through the line, mostly from Ben Jones's efforts, but they either didn't have the legs or our defence was good enough to stop them.

I don't think the defensive weaknesses on the wings have been solved yet, but we have a solid centre and we can score tries out wide.

Next game at the Stoop isn't until 9th June, so it's a bit of a wait to see them again.

Was that the size of the crowd?

652 crowd, but over 700 if you include the players and staff. Clearly "the Dewsbury experiment" isn't working and they should be kicked out of next year's Challenge Cup.

Considering that there were only 652 there I'm surprised at the noise that was made

Well done to the Dewsbury fans that made the trip, you must have made 20% of the crowd

What about sam Bolger??

I didn't notice Sam Bolger, which you could take as a sign that he fitted into the team

Players player at the after match awards

According to the website, Ben Bolger was a replacement, along with Lamont Bryan!!

Unless it's a home draw in the next round in a fortnight's time, which could be interesting

So the hard core is now down to 652! How long before we disappear completely like the Cheshire cat only this time with a puzzled look rather than a smile. Well done to the boys today, professional and no small amount of enthusiasm.

excellent, can we start using this method every week?

Is it correct that Dewsbury rested 10 of their first team squad?

Embarrassing turn out today. How can any Super League side get a three figure crowd is a disgrace. There may as well be a new club made as the mismanagement of the current London club will run the club into the ground.

Reaping the rewards of the past couple of season's poor performances.

Don't be daft...this is the all singing all dancing London Broncos v.2.....the crowds will soon be flocking to The Stoop now that the failed name of Harlequins Rugby League has been replaced.......once they can string a couple of wins together, TW2 will be rammed with 14,000+ fans........they will come....they will come.....if you build it, they will come

Is this our worst ever crowd since we have been in SL?

Yep...1,511 was the previous worst for the CC in 2006.....

Terrible attendance...a massive opportunity missed to open the gates for free and get locals in......and before anyone cites the RFL no allowing it or a revenue share with Dewsbury, the rams will receive nothing from the club after operating costs are deducted, and if the RFL want London to be a success, then they would have given the OK for this.......
Words (almost) fail me.........that crowd is an embarrassment and anyone associated with it should hang their heads in shame.

Sad but true. Current leadership at the club has made wretched decision after wretched decision. They're keeping hold of a useless coach, leading to dreadful on-pitch returns, and then seem surprise when fans don't turn up and sponsors don't invest. Days like today just give the anti-expansionists more ammunition.

Surely one of you wonders with the stats will be able to corralate the percentage drop between our average gate this season and todays gate and do the same with the other games this weekend such as Leeds, Widnes etc to see if it's London or the CC which is embarrasing?

The 'chorus' section (I assume many are regulars here?) were very quite today.
Three bizarre oddities today. 1) The ref (Matthew Thomasson) penalised the teams for forward passes & not being back 10m

2) In the final minute Gower was tackeled & he puts the ball on the ground behind him in the ruck as if he was playing RU instead of getting up & playing the ball

3) Ref blows the final whistle & one of our blokes (I forget who) goes to kick the ball over the dead ball line only for the ball to hits the padding on the post & the Rams almost come up with a try

We won 72-4! Well done guys. Missed first 15 mins due to "Level Crossing malfunction near Didcot" but despite that enjoyed the afternoon. Plenty of problems to be addressed but let's enjoy the day for once.

One-sided games are usually a bore, even when it's your team on top, but this one was a good watch all through, especially the comedy ending. The tries were well constructed, good skills (from both teams) on show, a peach of a flowing try through Sarginson and Dixon. Gower constantly probing and the rest of the team reading what he was doing for a change. Mr Schofield showed a few nice touches and never stopped talking - I wonder where he gets that from?



Was Sam B. really the player's player? He didn't do anything wrong but he wasn't on long enough to show anything special. The forwards steam-rollered over the opponents with some shattering hits and Gower again looked like our best goal-kicker.

Only down side was the weather. Should never have packed away the thermals.

Enjoyed the day out & a stonking win.Shame about the crowd but not surprising given everyone else's.Widnes/St Helens fans didn't show,deaths door Bulls fans rally to support them?Nope.Less than 1k Cas fans could drag themselves 4 miles to Fev. Thought there'd be 800 there today,turns out I was optimistic!
My daughter absolutely loved her first game.Mad for it in fact.Chuffed with that!
Am keeping my fingers crossed for Oldham away in nxt round,it's the only possible fixture I can make.

The crowds at Widnes, Leeds, Bradford, HKA etc were all down, but not by 75%, which is what 652 represents against the seasons average to date.
The RFL need to look at a ways of attracting more fans back to the CC.....but the clubs themselves need to take responsibility as well.



[size=200652[/size......we beat a team from a lower division with a number of their players pulled because of duel registration regulations regarding being cup tied.......the result was a forgone conclusion. What isn't acceptable is the apparent acceptance that nobody was going to bother turning up.

[size=200652[/size......is the lowest crowd for a London home game since ESL started.....it is totally unacceptable and it points to the club not having a clue what to do about it.
