Lying about the gate does not = tax evasion. The tax man does not look at attendance figures but at Finanicial figures. The Quins could anounce gates of 40,000 And Gate reciepts of £2. Thats not realy the Tax mans business so long as its the truth.

AGREED.
I doubt the club would have lied about the gate,.......why would they?

More tripe, you will never learn will you.

No but the ain't many English from that list. I was asked when was the last time the was more Aussies than english.

1997 is the answer simples.

Let's give the 30 year experiment another 30 years, I just hope the true rugby league towns still have a team by then.

I'm not anti quins, I'm pro rugby league and IMO the are better clubs that ain't in super league because of the " spreading the rugby league gospel".

As I've said many times, what the quins have done in and around London at grassroots is totally awesome and deserve all the credit in the world for that. The time and effort by the quins has been amazing!

We also have the same problem with Celtic/crusaders or whatever they are called this year.

GF if they haven't lied then they have for the past few seasons- make no mistake that stand was busy today

Ends of the stand looked empty.

I don't doubt it.....but it is puzzling?

Yes they did. Otherwise they wouldn't have been relegated.
The rest of your posts are embarrassing. You should stop now.

More tripe

1997 squad English - shaun edwards, martin offiah, tulson tollett (international), nick mardon, adrian spencer, matt slater, gilkes thomas, wes cotton

Do you deal in facts ?

Personaly i would judge success on the strengh of all areas of the club, How are the first team doing, What are the crowds like, How is the commercial side of the club. Is the business growing and and becoming more professional. How is the academy doing. And when you look at the Quins they are not doing all that well. The things they are doing well are being over shadowed by the things they are doing shockingly bad.

And the Quins - Widnes Friendly was a shock to no one. We have a Budget thats a fraction of yours and with that we have to run a First team, And academy teams at all ages and levels. And we are doing it well, With only a population of 66,000 or so people to pick from we are still a club teeming with home grown players. I fail to see the point of your last remark.

One minute people try to distance the club from the 7.7 Million target audience for crowds but are happy to claim them as locals when they get into the team.

No there is no point in lying about attendance figures from a financial perspective, Most clubs forums will have these discussions from time to time. The only important thing is declared income.

I would take it that the quins crowd is correct untill officialy declared wrong.

Sorry I didn't explain myself very well there. They say its awkward to get to using the Tube. I don't doubt that the RU team can pull folk in for their home matches, but the anecdotes I've heard seem to suggest that folk from around London might not go because of where Twickers is.

There was never only 1.7k there today, I'd have put it closer to 3.0k. I don't know who came up with the figure, but I'd take a guess they never got their maths GCSE. Worse still they gave every inbred, six-fingered, flatcapper, whippet-racing, coal in the bath, nutter resident on these boards an opportunity to dribble over their keyboards (not that they need much opportunity).

It would make sense for them to declare a higher figure though, just not a lower. So as you say, we must take it as correct.
