| Quote Dave Lister="Dave Lister"You are ignorant as to the situation the club is in. You are pathetic - it is still a professional rugby league side who represent the South of England in a national sport. You consider yourself loyal
We can all tell you have a problem because of your archaic attitude where a rugby league club should never associate with rugby union, which is quite frankly laughable.
I love it "sign some really exciting players"
How old are you, 5? With the intelligence of a sheep? Its that easy it is, just "sign some exciting players"? Who would you suggest then? Bear in mind the quota rules have completely changed since we were London Broncos.
And for the record, your cluelessness is further highlighted by your bagging of Williamson who IMO is shaping up to be a player as good as Steele Retchless, one of your precious "characters" I imagine.'"
Dave, whether you agree with the post or not is not the issue here. I like you do not agree with much of what was said but surely the purpose of this forum is a place where people can come and share their opinions without being subjected to personal abuse simply because they hold a different view
If the fans cannot have their view without abuse if it does not tow the party line then this forum is rendered useless
Disagree with somebodys opinion but do they really have to be described as pathetic ?
Everyone is entitled to an oponion even if perish the thought it differs from yours
At the end of the day there are problems and whether the shirt or the name are the ones worth bothering about (I do not think they are) we have to allow people to hold an opinion don't we ?

| I never saw the Broncos, I've only ever cheered for Harlequins. Not because I was drawn by the Union connection - though I played Union as a kid, I've only seen QRU once. I just tried it and liked it. I have also read The Forbidden Game, but I don't think our relations with the Union club should be coloured by the actions of a group of people who are all now dead.
Incidentally, I tend to agree that we play duller, safety-first football than we did in the last two seasons and we haven't had any rousing come-from-behind home victories this season either, but then we don't have creative game-breakers like Scott Hill and Mark McLinden. And we're pretty skint. Still, I don't understand how anyone who's watched Watford for 20 years can find any other game boring.

| Quote LondonBroncosFan="LondonBroncosFan"Whilst I do agree with rupe on some things, PTB is right. If Quins had won 4 on the bounce this post wouldn't have even happened. The fact we're in a bit of a free fall isn't because we're playing under the Quins name. I've watched the Broncos lose 4,5,6 heck we had one season we finished second bottom. It's just we've lost Chad and Purdo- if you took away Sinfield and Senior from Leeds they'd be half the team they are.'"
That's a fair point. Again there are problems at the club but the playing perforance is the least of the problems. There is lots of encouraging things to take out of the side from what I can see and there is without doubt progress being made. Any expectation that Quins are suddenly going to be SL challengers is way off the mark (despite what the coach may have said)
The off field issues are miles bigger and would NOT in my opinion simply be solved by a winning team, helped yes but nothing like solved
Things are a million miles away from being where they need to be off the field
To give an example, albeit a small one. I wrote to the club twice for clarification of the policy on booking tickets through the web. Neither was ever answered. OK, I could have called to follow it up but why should I, the onus is on the club to communicate with people who take time to ask for information........twice
A small example but you cannot treat customers like that, especially when the numbers are nowhere near where they need to be

| I'm as guilty as anyone of the odd 'bite' lets ignore him, I notice it's now thousands two years back it was 9000 missing fans.

Although the club do not always get it right, I would just like to counter that last statement CB. During this week some complications arose with regard to tickets required by our group as a result of the Catalan debacle, rather than write a long winded email I called the club, got straight through and the issue was resolved in 5 minutes and arrangements for tickets agreed. We all encounter issues from time to time, but I have to say that my experience of dealing with the club is normally good and I have always found them helpful........if you have an issue that needs be resolved pick up the phone..... `It`s good to talk`(taken from an old BT add for those too young to remember  )

| Would agree with under the sticks.
I went to Catalan and also wanted to arrange my "compensation" tickests for 4 Nations, challenge cup etc. It was complicated because i had arranged foe a geroup of us, 5 in total, 2 from North and 3 from London, Petra at the club could not have been more helpful.
I loved the Broncos, i loved that glorious start to the season with Luealuia, Dorn (remember Mr Lister), McLinden et al but forget the name/shirt the Stoop is a fantastic rugby ground. If we can build our crowds to 5000+ it will be an amazing experience and completely different from the KC, Halliwell and all those football stadiums
This forum is getting depressing. Yes we have lost 5 on the trot, though should have been 4, we have lots of injuries and we have a small squad. But this is a team i support, i support them win or lose. I can crticise them but i still support them, no team wins every game - lets get behind them.
Better Quins than no RL, i still believe.

Without the opinions there would be no forum. Listy and Rupe-y, although different add the other side of the coin which provokes debate.
Interestingly even Listy didnt agree with Rupe. Does that mean we have a 3 sided coin!!

Quite!

Please don't feel bad about the negative responses your earlier posting has attracted to date.
Keep the faith.'"
come in 56....your time is up!
I fail to see, apart from the name of the club and the association ith the dark side what rupes problem is. Rusty was good crack, a go forward player and Liked a few VB's post match in stripes. LMS is a laugh, a go forward player and an England international and likes a drink after the game and a natter. Is it because LMS is English and doesn't drink VB that is the problem? Dennis Moran was always up for a chat after the games at GP.....but so is Danny Orr?
Could Rupe be anti-english?

If so, what's behind this criticism?'"
No, not at all. Where have you got that idea from?

| Quote LondonBroncosFan="LondonBroncosFan"I must admit I can see where Rupe is coming from. I've recently been watching some games I taped on Sky from 2002-2004 period. And I must admit seeing the Broncos shirt and the likes of Retchless playing again did remind me how magical it was back then.
I must admit I don't feel totally at home being a Quin. (I would rather be a Bronco playing at the Stoop)'"
Thats probably because you went to the Broncos every week but you've only been to 1 game all season this year
