Not one day game by the looks of those time slots

 

[Sproj]

Hmm...when to take up Kayo again.

 

[mitch222]

Thank **** we avoided Melbourne twice

 

[Sproj]

Broncs haven't, they'll meet again in the finals, I feel it in my bones.

It’s unfair!... I’ll be at work for the first 4 Broncos games

But...at least you have a job, that's kind of important too.

 

[Mum-the-meatloaf]

Couple of 5 30 games, excuse to get on the beers early.

yep new draw has screwed me. I only had 1 Thursday night game where I needed to wag work, now I have 3.

Boo hoo. I work nights (which I love), but it means fighting spoilers until I get home

Yeh yeh but most importantly the footy is back on, so I am very grateful for that. Better to watch it delayed after work than not at all.

 

[john1420]

Definitely glad to have the game back, but FMD 6 Thu games out of 18 is harsh

Victim of our own ratings success.

 

[Kooly87]

There is going to be a very real price to pay for all these Thursday and Friday night games for the Broncos.

It's been this way for several years now, and before long, there will be a whole generation of school kids who have grown up never getting to watch a Broncos game all the way through because of how late the games finish, especially on a Thursday (school) night. For many kids they really start to grow a connection to a club right around the time they start school and for those 5-8 year old's, a 10pm finish especially on a Thursday is just too late with such regularity.

When those young fans almost certainly aren't attending games because of this, and also very likely not getting to watch them all the way through on TV at home, how long before they just never really form an emotional connection with the club, and we lose the chance to win them over for life?

 

[LittleDavey]

That's a great point @kooly87 and something I've wrestled with a bit with my own kids.

I grew up watching the Broncos. Sitting on the couch with dad, shouting at the TV. My kids don't get to do that anywhere near as often these days, it actually bothers me a bit. They mostly don't mind watching the footy at all, but with the only games I can get them to watch being ones that I'm not really invested in, neither are they. I know it's the commercial reality, but it sucks.

I see 14-15/18 wins there.
