Quote: bewareshadows "Gillingham maybe the answer for them and if it is great. But a club is not just about making a side, it's about history, about were you are from, or where your parents are from. It's what entertains to a point, but how many Saints fans go, despite the entertainment.'"
Gillingham is in Kent! that is not the answer and what the loyal base want, they want to be in London. First time around The Stoop really worked, every box was sold to major large corporate companies but that never happened second time around and few fans from Quins RU ever took to be loyal fans, residents complained about us playing at certain times and the use of the floodlights, that was not the way to build up a fan base.
Yes a club is all about History I totally agree, it is being part of a community, sadly since Fulham we have been nomads! you can't build a loyal supporter base that way, it took some fans nearly as longer to get to Gillingham Saturday as fans from Warrington, that is not the way to build a future. People say we do not spend enough on marketing but all the marketing under the sun with a constant losing side will not bring in new supporters. One problem with David Hughes and I have such respect for him is he is far too loyal to staff, currently the two top staff at the club are simply not producing the goods they are paid to do successfully, it's not that the money has not been spent!
