London Broncos • Keighley
I’ve enjoyed this flurry of home games although I think if the home games were spread out across the season more evenly and particularly during the football closed season that would be smarter. These last few games the atmosphere, which really is key to spectators rather than gate receipts, has been good and left me thinking there were quite a few in the ground but the pictures don’t lie it’s been mid and high hundreds not four figures which is a bit of a shame. No easy answers here but a concerted effort to gain attention at the start of the season and a winning team on the pitch could get our average up to 1000+ (big deal I know but it is what it is). I do think they could do more in the local area Wimbledon as Tooting. I know only too well how much posters in bus stops and tube stations cost but that does feel the right type of thing to do even if returns aren’t immediate. I also agree with the approach of asking local shops to put posters up ( in the style of the travelling circus). It’s tinpot but has to be done. I do wonder though if our average gates have gone up since year. If all will recall the Widnes gate last year was a whopper and that may mean we struggled to meet the average of 2022 which when you think of the rubbish served up last year and how we have performed this is a bit sad. You really don’t get many chances to make a first impression and we really xxxxed it up last year. Did we poison the well? I guess in this final year of the three year we will see.
