London isn't vital at ALL levels cos' quite clearly hardly anyone is interested in SL level ! the lower levels need to develop as they are doing at present so that in a few years time,when the RL game will hopefully have evolved in the southern counties a team like Quins can be a valid member of the SL set-up with the Skolars or similar backing up in the Championship.

Remember,Romford wasn't built in a day !

You must live in a parallel universe then where you don't actually see Wigan, Saints and Wire tops down Bradshawgate every day, and that's not to mention I know more than a few Salford fans who live here. To put it in to perspective, I went to the Willows on Friday and it took 12 minutes from my front door to parking up on Tootal Drive!

The Reebok is 7 miles from my house, the DW 8 miles - I'd hardly class that as "further away"?! And don't forget Blackburn Rovers Reserves play at the LSV which means they're doing a lot of marketing in schools etc to try and attract fans from this area.

Not sure how London RL fans can say it's not easy to get from A to B in less than an hour, but still include sides from the likes of Watford & Reading as competition and then will say Leigh can't count Liverpool as competition when i'd say that's less than an hour?

Within an hours travel of Widnes you'd hit Manchester, Liverpool, Bolton for football as well as Wigan plus rugby, Saints, wire and even the Yorkshire clubs!

We are Harlequins RL...we get crap crowds.....we are in SL until at least the end of this season...we play in a stadium owned by a Union team.......some people complain because the stadium isn't at the end of their garden....none of these things have a direct impact on the other 13 clubs in Superleague.
This thread, like the many we used to get before the Welsh came along and stole our thunder, is pointless. If 1 man and his dog turned up to watch us play.......it would only matter if David Hughes decided he's had enough.

Still less than 1800 though.

Never happen, SKY dictates whether you go or stay.

I'd like to think Uncle Rupert would fund us if and when DH decides he's had enough.....but I somehow doubt it. We need 2,000,000 a year in revenue or 8,000 more fans per game to be self sufficient....without DH we would be gone unless SKY propped us up.

The thing is you need that extra money to start getting somewhere , as I stated earlier ' for the good of the game ' you should get an extra mill comenserate with your value to the competition and the other clubs IMHO of course

But as you and I both know it's a spend on marketing , not just picking up the tab for the aftermath butties and coach travel up north ?

Good......the club needs to get itself noticed and if the RFL/Rupert are paying for it all the better!

This person talks sense.

Mods, ban the bu66er or it'll catch on.

Been doing that for 15 years haven't they....

There was a few more of us than that! I thought there was more people at the Stoop last Sunday than at last years corresponding televised fixture. The Crusaders fans were in the main stand with the Quinn's fans that day. But what do I know
