| cant remember the guys name who is pumping in the £££ down there, but so long as he is prepared to prop them up and make up the shortfall the crowd is not really an issue for them (see. huddersfield giants).
unfortunately there is no desire to go and watch the quins down there though.

| Phipps maybe if you bothered to attend games at the Stoop the crowd would increase just to see a class act, you. Never have I heard such crap from anybody on this site apart from you, get real and crawl back in your hole with your flat earth society. Opps maybe you cannot travel and no more than a keyboard clown with no interest in rugby league.

| Phipps is a tool. He has probably waiting with eager anticipation to advise of all of the very predictable poor crowd. He is a seriously sad little man.
Quins are serving up rugby on a par with the awful dross - well defensively at least - that was served up last year. No excuses, poor side, poor crowd, not much more to say.

This might come as a shock, but Twickenham ISN'T full of Union fans........it just happens to have the national Union Stadium and a club, but the majority of the Harlequins Union fans DON'T live in TW2.......traditionally, Quins Union is the club of the "City" boys and their fans are drawn from the Home Counties.
As long as Harlequins RL are being bankrolled then their crowds are an issue for them and them alone........as much as bitter posters from clubs under threat would like to think, crowds are only 1 area under scrutiny for licensing.....along with finances. How do Wakey get on there Tom?

Couldn't agree more, it's very similar to the number of homegrown players in a squad in that respect.

Catalans has worked as they have a long RL tradition in that part of the world.
I don't think Crusaders are a lost cause, there is already a hardcore fanbase being formed there (they brought a coach load to Hull on a Friday night, which is one of the longest trips on the calendar) but it'll take years of investment to make it work in Wales.
Quins are a complete lost cause, there is absolutely no interest what so ever down there.

| Look at the wider issue and growth of interest in London RL in general in the youth and amateur leagues. Get back to fishing or is that also a lost cause and I am wasting my taxes on your dole money and another flat earth society member.

| Right, I dont really want to get into the argument and politics, but I have one question. Why is the London club not based in somewhere like Shepherds Bush, where all the aussie ex pats/tourist/backpackers live thus tapping into a potential fanbase who migt just want to follow a club for the time taht they are here?
