Yeah but that could be said for many clubs (inc yourselves in the 80's, 90's and early 2000's tbf). Can't knock teams for building their support, e.g. Bradford received nothing but praise (deservedly so) when they doubled their crowds in the space of one season in the mid-90's.

It can indeed but im not the one knocking another teams efforts, i remember our poor crowds, i was stood amongst the few hundred, so i and you are hardly in a position to knock others

Perhaps you would like to explain your reasons for this.

London was lost a long time ago, I find it very unlikely that the powers-that-be at Sky Sports are really that bothered a side that has sub 3,000 attendances.

It's those EYE thingies looking at the box they are interested in!!

Where is the biggest concentration in Britain?

Widnes?

Anybody got a regional breakdown of Sky SL tv viewing figures and if there is evidence that more people watch SL games on Sky when Quins are playing than when HKR are playing? No? Thought not! Anybody who thinks that the massive profile and huge drawing power of Quins SL is creating a large populous of SL TV viewing in the South of England has rocks in their heads!

ps has any RL club ever had 3 different names in just 3 seasons?

May not be not 3 seasons but Wigan Highfield, London Highfield, Liverpool City, Huyton, Runcorn Highfield, Prescot Panthers is an interesting variation!!!

sky sell thousands of dishes in the south because of quins,they also make trillions in advertising revenue because of quins.gutterfax will tell you.

Dunno but I'll hazard a guess it's as to why they put money into the game. I don't think it's for philanthropic reasons.

Perhaps it's something to do with the figures that the total attendances at all games are probably considerably less than the viewing figures for any SL game shown.

Loads of people watch SL without going to games. I'm one. The only live SL games I have ever attended were either on corporate does representing the company or someone had a spare ticket.

As mentioned earlier it is a TV game now and having a club in the capital is worthwhile.

Sky could not give tuppence how many go to the game, they survive on how many watch the GAME not watch the the crowd, their ABC analysis and their rate card on how much they charge for advertising.

So in other words, there is no evidence for this view whatsoever. Thought not.

If Sky give money to SL, it is because people watch the games. There is absolutely no evidence that Quins are a cause of this more than any other team.
