| If the Stoop is hard to get to, what is an easy to get to stadium in London? 15 mins from Waterloo seems pretty good to me.

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 |

Poor management

You are a moron.
Firstly Why would the club Lie?
Secondly why would they Need a GCSE in maths when some form of computing course would be more appropriate given how modern day turnstyles count spectators... Or at least thats how we do it up here where we keep our Whippets in the bath and take our coal for walks Or some other such Condescending moronic Generalisation.
It was a crap attendance, Its no ones Fault but Quins. So stop having a hissy fit and accept that.

| Just like the posters on here, who actually went to the game today, there was NEVER 1,766 there today. It was about 3,250-3500. I have no idea why the club have announced that figure, however it doesn't do us any favours towards our licence application. Saying that, there were a few figures that were quoted grossly under the real figure last year, so I think the club may be doing it for tax reasons.

| well if its understated then at least quins are modest, rather than going for the 45'000 or so halifax claim turned up for their last league game of last season

Tax isn't worked out on attendance , it is worked out on the income

Not me......I believe that the club have to attract fans from all over London and the south East and as for players being "claimed" as locals....without the club it's fair to say these lads wouldn't be playing League. Remember, these guys coming through now were all in Primary school when SL started........and the likes of LMS are just the tip of the iceberg.

| Just out of curiosity does anybody know what the lowest recorded attendance for a Super League game actually is?
I really do hope things take off for them down there - I can't see them not being awarded a new SL license and I do think a London team is great for the game so hopefully the fans down there can get behind them and get numbers into the stadium

You have to admit that both sides of the coin are used quite often , I'm sure their SL licence application won't have the population of Richmond as potential fan base

Well I have no idea why the club have listed that figure then. I was there and there were far more there then last year's fixture, where we had about 2,300.

Im not bitter about anything, if indeed you are refering to me.
I have no problem with The quins or the sport in London, I just wish they were doing a better job of it. Great things are happening in the amature game down there but it needs backing up by a strong Pro side or two. I was at the skolars a couple of weeks ago and had a great time.
And we wont need anyone to prop our attendances up, As a club ( if not as supporters sometimes ) we are not interested in what others are doing but are spending all our time and efforts making the club as strong as ever. Which can be seen by increased season ticket sales ( if only slightly ) and a great youth set up not only for our level, but for the highest level in the European game.
I support expansion and always have, The only real complaint i have against the Licensing process and the game atm is that it lacks transparency in many ways.
If you were not refering to me then i appologise, The above can be ignored.

It's not. It's just a line spouted by lazy aussies and northerners who don't like travelling more than 10 mins for an away game. There are no other stadiums in London for us to use, the Stoop isn't the problem.
