Quins RU manage to get 15000 to find it for league games and Eng RU 80000 to find it-there is a station 10 mins walk away

You don't pay tax on attendance figures , you pay it on the money you receive

It's the fault of the people who were in charge, who for some reason thought they would get better results if they marketed to the small minority of Australian ex-pats rather than actual Londoners. Why do you think I would ever want to blame Championship clubs, why are you so eager to label me as someone who is against the Championships?

| Quote: headhunter "Probably annoyed, but there's no reason to, crowds are not the be-all and end-all and in fact as long as finances are in order they don't really matter for anything at all. I doubt Quins have harmed youth development in Widnes, considering Widnes's U18s won their league. Quins aren't the only club stopping Widnes from being in Super League. Instead of slating them we should be looking at ways they can improve, because if they got their act together they could be an extremely valuable asset.'"
Im sorry if it seemed is was picking the Quins out but celtic and catalan also imo have harmed the progress of good rugby league towns getting in to super league.
Let's be honest, these so called points you need to gain a place in super league are a joke, when teams like Quins, celtic and catalan make super league and widnes, halifax, leigh, fev and barrow can't.
It's not as if Quins and celtic have been great off the field either.

Like WQ, I have watched pretty much all Quins RL home games, and frankly there have been higher announced crowds that I feel were a lot lower then todays. I struggle to accept the figures but there we go. Regardless, our crowds are painfully low and I suggest that there aren't many Quins RL fans who think to the contrary. What I know is that the last two seasons have kicked the guts out of even the loyalist fan like me - rubbish and boring rugby, losing at home week in and out, financial concerns, absolutely nothing positive coming out of the club - totally soul destroying and I was seriously considering not renewing my ST but I did. I am not convinced the location is an issue, any more than a losing side, lack of marketing, etc.

had it being uniformly crap then yes, Fact is, part of it has been outstanding, part of that management has been excellent and has achieved far beyond what heartland teams have achieved.
Attendances are one part of the puzzle.

| Quote: Fanatic_Tiger "Besides the fact Cas have done things only Quins can dream of, we were given 3 years to create a team good enough to fight for the top 8 and what have we done? Brought through a quality of youth players that probably have England futures, built our crowds year upon year (Something clearly Quins have failed to do) and improved off the pitch with sponsorships, more money coming into the club etc'"
So Quins haven't brought through quality youth players? McCarthy-Scarsbrook (England international), Tony Clubb (England international), Will Sharp, and others...
Your crowds have gone up? I think you need to have a look at the stats before making comments. Since you got promoted in 2008, your average has fallen each season. From 7,501 to 6,616, and yesterdays local derby 5,992.

| As for the attendance: it's a shocker. No justifying it. It's not working at The Stoop, it's getting worse. This is their 6th season and their crowds have gone down every year apart from one, and they weren't exactly high to start with. RL needs a club in the area, but does it have to be IN London? Potential pro players would surely go a little outside of London for a contract?

| Wellsy thats a mixed message -is it the crowd you are commenting on or the quality of the players- ie it may get worse should it not be London
