| I have been to the Stoop twice this year and also went to the pre season friendly between Quins and Skolars. The Stoop for me is the best place to watch RL in the UK. Relaxed environment friendly and customer focused. I have taken friends who tend to lean towards Union BUT even though they have loved the experience they have one major hang up and that is the Quins connection. They are loathed in RU circles and as such be it RL football, cricket whatever people will not follow them.
Since the Cas game (I tool free tickets through ES) I have had emails and answered a questionnaire. Unfortunately that will not bring me back through the gates. Not because I don't want to go but because its a ball ache to get to and in all honesty I get my fix through Sky when I am not at the KC or Hull away games.
London embraces ALL sports but Football is #1 by a country mile. I was at Lords this week for Middlesex v Surrey and there was only about 2000 there ( a good crowd for them) that was a local "derby"
I certainly think one or two other clubs crowds should be looked at. Salford, the Giants top of the league but only 6000 at last game. Wakey etc. All have had a century + to build a following but imo fail on the crowd front. Its not as if the giants have a new stadium to look forward to.
Bottom line is only us fans care about crowds the RFL only care for corporate and I suspect clubs only care for that too. Certainly my club only care for corporate despite so many of us turning up. So long as that is the case Quins Crusaders Salford etc will survive in SL

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Yes they were/are which devalues the competition , as for Leigh , we were relegated , but unfortunatley Gateshead had financial problems , resulting in them requesting being demoted to the lower league , if you have a problem with that , ring the RFL

Problem? Looks like nothing more than a simple question to me.

| let's be honest. If you've got a Salford fan poking holes in your crowds, you know you've got a problem.
Still, if they've only got 1000 fans it lessens the chance that one of them is as embarrassing to the club as you are to Salford WR.
