But Quins RU benefited greatly from Quins RL.
They used to be poxy on the field with crap crowds off it.'"
That's utter cobblers. Even when they were playing in the National League in the 2005-6 season, they were getting crowds of 8,000 plus, and ever since then they regularly have got crowds of more than 10,000. How would being landlord to a struggling rugby league club have made any difference to them whatsoever? The £200k rent is a nice addition but given their salary cap of £4.8m and the Heineken Cup TV money, it seems a drop in the ocean in revenue terms.
The notion they somehow took advantage of us is laughable.
