Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

| Quote: Beverley red "As a 60+ year old, Northern male you would expect me to agree but I dont, They bring something the so called heartlands dont! a whacking great cash handout from SKY TV without the expansion clubs outside the M62 they would not pay anywhere near the amount they do & without that all but maybe three teams would go bust. You dont like them, maybe you dont care for our sport either? I support any one who wants to play our great game any place they want to whatever the standard, Turn your question round what do other teams bring to Harlequins? not much judging by the awway support that travels there. We in the north have had 116 years to build our teams & we are still dependant on SKY to stay afloat, you need to take a reality check.'"
Do you have a ' link ' that proves this , no London , no SKY money premise ? |

You aren't me flower but I'm sure you'll get over that some day.
Two historical clubs with generations of tradition that have struggled to reach five figure crowds in recent years. I think it was a fair comment. In an ideal world all three clubs would be playing to even bigger crowds but it takes hard work behind the scenes, community interaction, discounted (sometimes heavily) season tickets and a host of other innovation and factors.

Well, when you consider we were at 3,400 about 5-6 years back, losing every week, I think we're doing very well. We also suffered from being a basketcase of a club in division 3 for years, we fortunately got a wealthy backer, and we're doing well. |

You say it yourself. Not too long ago your great club was struggling. I'm over the moon your crowds are up and as I said, I'd love to see crowds up across the board. |

No that I'm trying to defend our crowds, but our games so far have been against Crusaders, Huddersfield, Hull, Castleford and Catalans, none of which are big drawers, with two being on Friday nights and one on Sky. Sky have stupidly decided to show the Salford game, which means a usual poor crowd will be even worse, especially if we lose on Monday. Once we play the likes of Wigan, Saints and Leeds, the average will be significantly bigger.

Very true, we were very very deep in the poopie, now we're doing very well, two more years of success, we could reach 10,000 I think. |

Well its clear that WakeyTom is either jealous that Wakey might drop from SL at the years end and hey, thats just not fair...or he has relocated to Brighton or similar and wants to make no effort to go watch the games.
Oh and Phipps is a deluded feck.
Mods.....any way you can stop this fool from creating threads? All they ever are is Quins this Quins that....in a highly lame and bias manner.

15 away fans? Wakey and Salford are no better than Quins in terms of home support. They're just nearer the rest of SL which bumps their attendances up. I admit it's poor though and Im not sure there's a solution tbh. Not without bags of money and some success. Neither of which look close to happening. Im not sure why it really matters though, as long as we can afford to carry on and are the pinnacle of an exceptional youth and amateur scene in London.
Its a great match day atmosphere, the team are playing some ok stuff this year so I for one would be completely gutted if we disappeared.
