Fan input......AGAIN : Fri Nov 17, 2023 6:47 pm  

I see from the current email from the club that they're keen on regular feedback from fans. Since the early Quin's days, these "forums" were launched and failed, mainly because Hughes didn't like what he heard from fans. What is different this time? I've emailed them and will let you know what the response is, but I suspect that unless I agree with everything Hughes/Lobster decide, I won't be part of future discussions. hello@londonbroncosrl.com

I haven't received one for months but to be fair, I don't think I've missed it much.

Maybe they should have asked for fans opinion before scrapping the academy ?

That might be a step too far for Hughes, Lobster & Junior but they should of had some discussion with LBSA who have contributed so much to the Acadamy over the years before announcing their decision.

All of us that have been around the club for some time, will know this topic of fan consultation comes up every now and then.
Normally it dies out within a few weeks, never to be heard of again.

As I said, when you tell them something they don't want to hear, they shut you out and continue to make the same mistakes whilst wondering why fan numbers are dwindling.
I have no doubt that Hughes believes that lapsed London fans will return in their droves for a superleage season, when in reality the 3,000 or so he has lost he lost forever. Away fans will boost them to closer to 2k next year, but it will be business as normal in 2025 with a few hundred rattling around Cherry Red.
It's just depressing

I agree with you entirely, Orangeman.

Agreed.
Especially so as we should be looking forward to our return to the top flight.

I was optimistic when I first saw the announcement, but it does seem to have gone suspiciously quiet on the forum front and with announcements more generally compared to a few weeks ago. Maybe they are working furiously behind the scenes to plan it all out.

There are so many people, with really valuable experience, who would be willing to throw a bit of their spare time to help the club. It's just sad it always feels so closed off.

That kind of radical thinking is going to get you banned (again).
