So then. How do we score in the IMG universe? : Thu Mar 09, 2023 5:36 pm

I'd say poorly and I'll be surprised if any effort is now made until we get a new ownership model, because "buying" fan engagement, both online and in trad media isn't a cheap overnight thing. If oy someone had warned them decades ago eh....

The Little Screen won't score much as a Big Screen. Nor will the weak floodlights. Perhaps the club have found a second way to end up in League 1. Either via on field relegation or by scoring less than 37.5% on the grading system.

And then there is the primary tenant score. So lots of "points" to lose.

Gold Lounge will score well though!

UPDATE:
Fandom offers 5 points and 25% of the score. I am being UBER generous by awarding London Broncos 1 point here, but "purchased Facebook followers" and inflated game day attendances using unused free tickets won't fool IMG.
Performance again offers 5 points of the 25%. I being REALISTIC here by awarding London Broncos 1 point here, but again, being in the bottom third really doesn't cut the mustard.
Finance offers 5 points again and 25%. Given we are 100% reliant on Hughes, I have reluctantly scored us half a point, given we are a fiscal basketcase.
Ground offers 3 points for 15%. I've allocated 1 and a half here as we Cherry Red is nice and shiny, but we are not lead tenants and we do not use the full venue.
Catchment offers 2 points and 10%. I've scored us at 1 point here because we have such a huge potential hunting ground and are starting to try to utilise it.

I make that 5/20, or 25%, so we may well be "appointed" to the 2nd tier. One hopes that some form of long term security in the new system will spark interest from serious investors, but as it is, all the move to Wimbledon has done is secure us a spot in the 2nd tier and unless someone is willing to throw SERIOUS money at the Broncos, then we've just been shown our level of importance to the professional side of the game.

Lastly, I'd like to thank David Hughes for absolutely and utterly F98KING up professional RL in the capital. If IMG had taken these scores in 2007, we'd have scored10/20 and been assured of SL Rugby......good Job Dave! :SHOOT:

I think it’s worse than that - under 7.5 points are grade C so Championship / League 1 only.
Pretty sure on Sky last night they showed grade B as 10 points or over rather than 7.5 points - either way we have no chance.

Think we may get at least couple of points for Performance as I think the ranking is across 36 teams for the previous three seasons. Catchment we could get 2 points given the potential of London (albeit unrealised by Hughes).
