at the stoop tonight

Not quite taking off this Quins thing is it?

is that the lowest SL crowd ever?

It's actually higher than Quins' previous two crowds.

didn't they have a warning from the rfl in the close season to improve their crowds too!?

Harlequins will relocate to Pontefract and hope tto steal a few cas fans lol

I didnt even look like there was as many as that, and they gave away free tickets via facebook apparently

What do this excuse for a club bring to super league?

I know I get slated every time I mention this but fekk it…

When oh when will the RFL realise that Rugby League is a parochial northern sport that will only ever be successful in its ‘heartlands’.

Every attempt to expand the sport outside the M62 corridor has failed – both the London and Welch follies are clogging up franchise places that need to be allocated to more deserving causes.

What does either of these teams bring to the party that Widnes couldn’t instantly trump?

Nothing… time the old farts at Red Hall got a grip and readdressed their engineered franchise criteria.

Teams should receive extra points for being close to another team – not lose points.

Dreadful, dreadful crowd. Still, only marginally worse than Salford get.

Why are Leeds fans even bothered? Do our attendances have some sort of adverse affect on your lives or your own teams performances or the sport as a whole? We get no supporters, we get no monies, its our problem.

Some supporters do actually care about other clubs and the game as a whole.Unfortunately it reflects badly on our game when Sky turns up and shows virtually deserted terraces.I for one would love to see successful clubs in other regions,but unfortunately the majority of rugby followers down south support the other code.
I cannot understand how you manage to survive financially.

Do you really think the attendance of a game has a major impact upon the thoughts of a viewer? Or do you think the actual game is more of a focus point? I can't understand it either tbh.

Well for starters I don't believe games are enjoyable either live or watching on TV when there is little or no atmosphere.Last nights game was quite entertaining but was spoilt with little atmosphere.
Rightly or wrongly some people will think we are a Mickey Mouse sport when playing in front of low attendances.
Red Hall must also be concerned(publicity/image of game ?) if it is correct they have officially told you attendances must increase.

Simple answer... Yes. I've seen more people at a tiddlywinks match than you get each week.

You're taking a spot in our top flight competition that you don't deserve (for both on and off the field reasons). IMO, Widnes, Leigh, Barrow, Halifax, Featherstone and Dewsbury are all far more deserving. In recent years before the franchise system Leigh and Dewsbury have been refused a SL place after winning the Premiership due to having 'less than adequate' stadia. Yet your club get in no questions asked. Just out of interest, did you earn your place or where you like Les Cats and just got it handed to you on a plate?

Leeds fans are rugby league fans.

I really wish the game would be a success in London. Harlequins have a very poor playing squad due to it having little investment. They struggle to attract new fans because they are rubbish to watch.

I don't believe Widnes, Leigh or any other club outside of Super League would attract significantly bigger crowds if they were in Harlequins position, but obviously they would be boosted by the number of away fans visiting.

What do they bring to Super League?, as much, arguably more than any other team would outside of Super League.
