Back into that discussion re the CC do we actually want to win? Or is it a distractor from real job of staying in championship

Falls right within the block of league games that we need to be winning, so I guess we prioritise for Newcastle the week after. As much as I would love a cup run, we simply don't have the quality and depth.

I doubt the club will take the CC seriously. I mean lets face it, we were undercooked and under resourced for the championship which you would assume is the priority.

Fact checked as totally accurate.
I’m sure we’ll hear in due course on the club’s social media what the score is.
Fact checked as stretching the truth beyond credulity.

I'm just surprised that Buck & Dusty haven't been revealed as our 2 new assistant coaches or additions for our under-cooked & under strength 1st team.

I think you’re on to something here DC. Off to check if their pictures appear on the staff page on the club’s website........no theres xxxx all there....maybe updated by season’s end who knows. Sigh.

I seem to remember seeing Academy lads taking it in turns to be Buck or Dusty on matchdays back at Ealing - it could be that one or rother will be included in the CC squad if this is still the case.
Many a true word spoken in jest!

Unusually it's a Saturday afternoon that should work for us, so happy with the choice.

Part of the West Stand only open. Sounds like tickets aren't exactly flying out of the door https://londonbroncosrl.com/2023/03/08/ ... hitehaven/

Early purchase Broncos Bar tickets for £15 not looking great value then if the £10 general admission tickets apparently get you the same access ("executive" seats and bar access).

There is a benefit mind. The seats and hospitality areas are good and it could entice more fans to pay extra for future matches (needs the team to improve on the pitch mind!). Comes down to value though; £40 each for seats, bar access and a one course meal probably won't attract many. £20 for seats and bar access maybe, but then general admission would need to be lower.

The service at the bars on Floor 2 is incredibly slow I should add. That needs addressing (it's a stadium issue not specific to the Broncos).

I'm assuming same team as Keighly, unless there were injuries on Sunday. Miski named in the Wigan squad for Catalans on Thursday night so may well be unavailable.

2nd tier of West Stand only ? Is that the area with the lounges ? Can't be expecting many.
