Didnt Lewis allready say one club would be "relegated" during the next round of franchises?
Worrying, very worrying.

Its excellent the work that QUINS are doing in school's, more young kids are playing RL at times than in many of the main northern towns, the Crusaders seemed to be breaking the same ground in South Wales, but it does not put bums on seats for some reason? though I have often seen junior curtain raisers in the NW and the young players and parents leave when they have finished and do not tend to stay for the main game.

To break into the Evening Standard may be a start, but I am always unsure once a newspaper goes "free" if it is read the same? I still bark back to the World Championship games and the tie in we did with Capital FM, would the same work again or Heart/Magic? or has that time passed?

I have noticed that Quins rl seem to be hitting the big local schools on a regular basis. Maybe the penny is dropping that long term the local community is the target audience. I would love to see a tie in with the big 2 free London papers. Metro and Standard. How many read those papers eveyday Million easily I would imagine. Also Gutterfax had a very good idea of targetting of the local community in offering a reduced/free ticket for utility bill payers for some of the minor away supprt games Crusaders/ Salford/Catalans etc. I think that would be a cracking idea if used right. Also does anyone know how the franchises at the stoop pay to the club burger vans etc.

Things seem to be looking up-Im really hopeful- GF had some good marketing ideas although not rocket science-Im sure PB has a few white rabbits up his sleeve-This WIN sponsorship if what is being said in value terms is true is brilliant.
Maybe WIN will contact all our supporters each week and assist with sales -I dont know how it works but they are a communications company after all-

We just need the team to play like the first half of last season which is possible as we have the same players

Positive signs.

Far more activity seems to be going on than usual. Previous seasons before Christmas we've barely heard a peep out of the club.

All this before the promised barrage of commercial activity is unleashed in January.

I Am always a half full kind of guy and the last few weeks of last season knocked me back a bit. But the club seem to be turning a corner.
