Quote: JB Down Under "why is it that when it suits Quins are important as they represent the millions of London, yet when it comes down to getting to games they claim they are all too far away and in reality their local popualtion is about the size of Cas! Which is it, big city team or outer suburb park side?'"



Their 'local population' (Richmond upon Thames) is 170 000. Cas is 40 000.

(Somewhat off topic admittedly but Cas really do punch above their weight both in the size of their crowds and the players they produce.)

"I'm sorry, but I would hope that we would beat Cas with a 1 day turnaround." An arrogant Wigan fan a few days before we stuffed them 18-4 at the JJB.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_42181.jpg



I dread to think what the crowd for Quins V Cas & Quins V Hudds will be with them being on a friday night icon_eek.gif icon_eek.gif

I suspect it will be less than 2k icon_rolleyes.gif

If we arty on how we are I can see us taking a decent number down. I love the Friday night London trips. Especially back when we were relegated at brentford park. That was an amazing night.

Quote: Towns88 "Is it televised? If not, why Friday night? Whys our game v you lot friday too? I love going to the Stoop, but a friday night is a total none starter. basically, the club will try anything once and then change their minds. Friday nights are this years experiment.......it may get more fans but I seriously doubt it myself.

Reading some posts on here over the years we get crap crowds because:
The Weather
Game Time
Game Day
Tie in with a union club
stupid jerseys
10 minute walk from the station
30 minute train journey from central london
The dog ate my homework
West London isn't working class icon_biggrin.gif
Twickenham is a union stronghold (it's not..it's just where their stadium is)
The Media hate us
the sun gets in your eyes sitting in the east stand
No pubs near by
.....personally, I RECKON WE GET CRAP CROWDS BECAUSE THE CLUB HAVEN'T A CLUE HOW TO MARKET THEMSELVES, BUT ANY ONE OF THE ABOVE EXCUSES OR COMBINATION OR ONE OR MORE IS GENERALLY USED d040.gif

Shooting yourselves in the foot in my opinion. How many people will come down from Yorkshire to London on a friday night now? It means having to book a day off work i'd of thought for the away fans.

If it does work though & more home fans attend, then fair enough.

Quote: Towns88 "If it does work though & more home fans attend, then fair enough.'"

The club has to look for home fans.......away fans have CC Final, a trip to Wales, A trip to OT and a French jolly to spend cash on every season....the trip south isn't as "big" as it once was.
I think the Friday night experiment is targeting "locals" from the immediate borough.......as I say, it's an experiment and as you rightly point out, it is a risk.

Poor Castleford fans. Don't Quins realise that they have to travel from 1972 for all their away games? Poor sods icon_wink.gif
