Broncos were fantastic today. Dominated the middle and deserved to win by more

 

 

 

 

A season of two halves for sure.

York bring nothing to the game. They need to be thrown out of the league. Time to concentrate on the heartlands. Etc etc etc

I did laugh, but as I occasionally have to say - York IS the heartlands.

A great game and a decent crowd today. Really enjoyed the atmosphere and think we are at a turning point

[Jughead]

There’s a video of the crowd at the final whistle at London. If there’s more than 300 there, I will be shocked.

Is that York,the home of a Championship club equivalent of West Wales Raiders?

West Wales Raiders being a side against whom you needed dual reg and loan players from a higher league to defeat them in League 1.

The big city clubs ain't working, it seems.

If you get a spare hour tomorrow watch the Leigh V York highlights there’s some spectacular tries scored.

I know that only two well Griff, Leigh are very clear favourites to be promoted, but the sporting world is littered with the underdog being the triumphant one, "till the fat lady sings" Griff

Thanks for agreeing with me.

I am shocked that driving away all the 'legacy' fans and having no plans at all to recruit new ones has led to this situation. It is a completely surprising outcome.

[Jill Halfpenny fan]

Back down to earth with a bump for Widnes today, we really need to get some size and grunt into the pack and stop giving away silly penalties. Good to see that we seem to be catching Leigh next week when they are struggling for form.

Are you talking about London because I can’t believe that they’d taken it upon themselves to drive anyone anywhere? Surely they’d just not turn up to pick you up and leave you stranded somewhere.

I was there and it was 900/1000 at least...not sure what you've seen

Second half Leigh had 18 sets , scoring off 11 , York had 3 

Clinical and ruthless , York were shattered 

I was fortunate to witness it from the ' posh ' seats 

I wondered how many sets we had that we didn’t score from, must’ve been 5 or 6 back to back tries, twice, either side of a quieter spell halfway through the second half.

Did Stone go off injured?

I don’t know how long after full time that is but there must be 600-700 pretty fast walkers.

  The Kear effect has not lasted .Although you are a big improvement on the team we put 70+ past at Post Office Road.

After you alighted from the posh seats to have Tiffin and a G&T - little finger spread out away from the glass?

There was a lot more than is shown there mate, we were gone pretty much on 80 mins and there was a big stream of leavers with us on the concourse...I'll stick to saying 900 plus was the crowd 

[Gomersall]

This all seemed so long ago.

Just seen the results as no mobile on holiday.  Leigh is par for the course and a meaningless result.  

Bradford still naff but what on earth is going on at London.  If they start like this next year we might have a nice resurgence on our hands. 

All wrapped up in Champ till playoffs now. 

Regarding London, there is still a lot of time for DH to destroy any momentium we might have during the off-season....  Lets wait and see, right now I'm just relieved we are staying up. 

For instance now that the attendance is no better than when we was at Ealing, we are not using 90% of the facilities offered by Wimbledon, yet paying a lot more to play there, we lose 2 months in the summer when we are either playing away or in Kent, so hopefully they will be better on the pitch next year, but off the pitch it looks like the same old shambles

They often avoid showing the crowd in their social media videos for that very reason I imagine.

Its a real shame, the poor decisions and poor start of the club have wiped even more fans of their ‘regular attendee’ list. Their form is red hot currently and deserving of better as is their media output which is vastly improved due to the excellent Jake Watson and co
