Are there any suitors in the offing though? im sure there is a long Q? also what does he get for the £20m hes put in over the years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivarr the Boneless Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 David has suggested the plan is to keep the club under family control, his son is big on Broncos. If his investment remains as Directors loans, the club is unsaleable / couldn't be given away unless they were written off. If the plan is for his son to take over, there's no real incentive to write off any Directors loans on the off chance the club can repay some of the money further down the line. All the signs are there will be no change from Hughes family control, though the person with control may change. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little birdie tells me they are trying to shift up to 500 community stand tickets per game. Ambitious, I sincerely hope they can deliver and that it is structured to get future engagement and not just the same people each week getting in for free, I've seen too many sports teams vanish down that particular rabbit hole, which invariably alienates season ticket holders. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie Gordon Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) Broncos now seem to have closed the stand behind the sticks for the Widnes game - not great IMO. Edit: I'm wrong. They've closed it for home sales but Widnes fans can buy tickets there. Edited January 18, 2022 by Archie Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Halfpenny fan Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Widnes fans wanting tickets in advance have to buy from the Bronco's. What's the situation with pay on the day? Is it more expensive, can you pay on the turnstiles or do you need to buy a ticket from the offices? Just because you think everyone hates you doesn't mean they don't.

You can only buy tickets via the online system - no cash at gate or physical ticket office. I guess you can use the online system right up to KO (and after).

Without the promo code its sections 101,102 & 103 for away fans according to the site. Just because you think everyone hates you doesn't mean they don't.

Pointless The Newcastle signing and the laddo that played with Dewsbury and then Skolars were the half's ,not familiar with names. Im assuming Leyland and Horsman were there is because the Australian lads aren't yet returned, Parata and Siti , that'll be the starting 9 and 1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
