Quote: kianush "In the long term, if Skolars were to be a reasonably successful team, it would boost professional RL in London/the SE - which would only be a good thing for Quins.
It would increase the profile of the game, providing more media opportunities, potentially bring more people in through the turnstiles of both teams, raise the opportunities for bringing in sponsorship etc etc etc.
& in the short term, it would be very shortsighted for Quins to turn their noses up at opportunities to boost relationships with people in the City - as someone's already said, some corporate deals have come out of it already.'"
We need to establish one viable team before even starting to think about another. Currently, we are looking down the barrell of a loaded gun, we should forget about directing any resources to London Skolars. If we were fully established, great crowds, competitive squad, free up some resources to help them out then. London RL cannot support 2 teams at the moment and the 2 teams cannot grow together as they are competing for the same, very limited support.
Someone said one corporate box had come out of it wasn't it? I bet the city boys will pushing each other out of the way to sign up for another. This game does no harm but the hype is completely unjustified IMO.
