Broncos Launch “Fan Hub” Project! Big plans to relaunch London Broncos for the 2026 Rugby League season are already underway and the first project is to launch and create new supporter “hubs” around London and the South of England. The main objectives of this initiative is for the Broncos to engage more closely with its fans, bring all fans, players, volunteers, clubs and teams closer together, raise interest, profile and momentum and attract newcomers from all sectors of society. Gary Hetherington said; “We all want the game to be “less of a secret” to those in this part of the country and if we don’t do it, it won’t get done! “Rugby League has a proud record for its connectivity and support for its communities, the players and staff are approachable and committed and we the fans can do more.” Can you help? Could you help to create a “hub” in your village, school, club, town, community? It could be at a pub, club or wherever you think appropriate? Are you interested in joining a steering group to oversee the project and its development? If the answer to either or both of these questions is yes, just email Jake Watson at jake.watson@londonbroncosrl.com to register your interest and we’ll be back in touch soon with more information. #WeAreLondon
