. . other than being a fan for decades I can't think of a single reason to spend much cash on watching us lose. But shockingly I'm never bored watching every home game as an **EXISTING** fan but as for new one fans.... well that's the same old question. Cheers.

OK, I'll start... Reason 1 is because we're inconstant.

Reason 2 - cos I've always been a sucker for a lost cause! Especially when it looks to be truly lost!

you could ask the same question to the majority of sports fans around the world, not everyone can be the winner!!!
I enjoy the sport

All the Wendy ball press recently on how Arsenal had not won a trophy for x years. So what - plenty of teams have been trophy less for far longer!

I'd watch them simply because THEY ARE MY TEAM. They are the first team I followed in RL in the UK after living in Oz years ago and getting into the sport here.

I'd follow them irrespective of where they are on the table or how they played. THEY ARE MY TEAM.

I get stick about that from a Aldershot fan of all things - Aldershot a team so poor they couldn't even exist for several years.

The only reason to watch the games are hope, banter, and increasingly rare moments of blinding genius (Dixon's try against Les Cats)

And to be fair all three are on the decline

Hear hear to that, great post. Some of us began watching RL supporting a different team (home town mainly). We now support London cos they're Our Team.

+1

Completely agree with the premise that LB are 'my team' and the reason I will always watch them in the SL.

However... I occasionally wonder that, if we lost our SL licence (which is likely at the rate we're going), would I want to travel the distance I do now for home games (a 150 mile round trip by car or a 4 hour public transport journey) to watch us in the Championship if still based in the TW2 area. I doubt it but I'd always support the club even if watching far fewer games. Looking forward to the Adams Park experience though.

Apparently I was taken to watch Bratford Northern before I could walk and living in the South have no other SL team to watch than Broncos. Just plain daft really and no other game like RL!
