Everyone hates the blue kit but I think it was a legitimate choice by the club to relate a feel good factor for the AFC fans. That seems OK to me....it’s all the other stuff...

And of course the unavailability of the kit at PL for any fans AFC or otherwise to buy if they so choose is mystifying. Anyway....

If they are not going to use the facilities at PL (ie the fans zone, street food etc), then why move in the first place. York game they have to try and put some effort in fan engagement

This isn't a defence of Mr Hughes (obviously), but I absolutely hated the tie in with Quins too.

You’re not wrong. It’s speculate to accumulate. So now is the time for the club to gamble. They need to give it a go for York or the default is what? “Come see the Broncos we are bottom of the table and the lowest scorers in the league but if you don’t have anything else on come along you can buy a sausage roll or hot dog for 4 pound 50p and sit in a decent small stadium and see us lose to a mediocre over hyped side.”

Think, at least on the field, there were positives to seize upon (just look at the title of this thread), and you scored more and got closer at Fev than did Leigh a fortnight ago.
Browsing a couple of monster threads on here late last night enlightened this poster on the origins of your present plight and whilst, as a Leyther, he would always want you to upset Fev, he was rooting doubly for you today. Been through it at Leigh, been through it at Bolton Wanderers as well.
Good luck for the rest of the season - save in two of the games!

Alas. The reality was that the majority of fans were ok with it until Hughes and his selections of back room staff stuffed the deal up and dragged the club into the gutters of Barnet.....we lost maybe 50 die hard league fans and replaced them with quins fans when we became quinsRL.....good stadium, great matchday experience to start with, aftermatch bands, good event games.....effort being made....now Hughes refers to Barnet and Ealing as non league or 2nd tier grounds as he continues his vanity project.
Still haven't had an answer to the RL question. If we reverted back to broncos because kids thought RL meant Rugby Lessons, which dick bought our current url and what idiot paid for it?
No joined up thinking = more of the same disasters.

Good to see a twitter post from journalist Huw Richards who covered the Broncos back in the day with good effect.

Yes otherwise it’s radio silence from LB. It’s possible that we have concluded that losing isn’t a good way to draw in new fans so every time we do, from now on, we are just not going to mention it on the site or Twitter feed and see if we can get away with it. A better plan would be to win a few games but it’s not the worst idea we’ve had.

Perhaps Broncos are waiting for the Ladies to get under way. They probably will win more games.
