| dont know much about london but from a distance it seems that they have got some reasonable crowds in the richard branson london broncos era, they had good crowds when they started out as fulham in patnership with a soccer culb i think!
sub 5,000 are just not exceptable for super league and sub 3,000 crowds are for the next level down i think.
i think that rfl needs to work with london super league side, cross promote with test matches, challenge cup final etc have quins people at the ground handing out programes fund raising, metion quins rl on loudspeaker, have signage advertising quins at test matches in london + challenge cup, get local who playing the game to show up and aussie and kiwi's who live in london plus hardcore 2,000 odd fans and youve got a 5,000 crowd!
look at the melbourne storm out of a crowd of kiwi's, aussies originaly from the rugby states, a few english and pacific islanders and a few interestd melbournians, get decent crowds. but it took nrl to have origin and test in melbourne in partnership with the storm to promote the code in an area where it was a tiny minority sport it now has a good niche market! could be done in london too1

| Quote meast="meast"Although the stoop is a cracking ground and a good set up and fan friendly, do you seriously not think bein located under the shadow of union HQ, and being called harlequins has a detrimental effect on attracting rugby league fans? Perfect example is when i tell ppl im going to the rugby at twickenham they automatically presume im going to watch rugby union. Surely the club needs its own identity?'"
Hear hear, when i told a colleague who is league supporter and played ameture for the police that i was going to twickers he made the sam presumtion

| Who cares what we are called? If you mention Harlequins and they assume RU, correct them. If someone sees an advert for London Beachturtles they'd be no more in the know as to who the club are. Harlequins RL - does the RL not give it away to some people?

| It is actually quite good publicity as Listy says. You can point out the error and educate the person, this has happened to me on numerous occasions. When we were Broncos the man on the Clapham omnibus thought we were an American football team.

People need to get over this Union thing...........by all means swap the away and home shirts, but FFS......where to next> Milton Keynes/Oxford? LONDON RL needs a London team and the stoop is fine.......It may not be built on top of a tube station but it's hardly the noth face of Everest either.

| the rfl really needs to set up/fund a rugby league promotions/media team in london, to promote the quins and test matches in the capital and challenge cup final to london residents. they could even help the skolars as well! real effort to make contacts in london media is needed.
if quins are to stay in super league they need marketing and if you look at how melbourne storm have done it (increased crowds) was in conjunction with arl/nrl hold big matched in the melbourne and promoting the sport as a whole and schedulling nrl game on the back of origin, same could be done in london with test and challenge cup final. also every player in the quin squad should be development and promotions work for the club.

| Quote RugbyLeague56="RugbyLeague56"Which ever way you look at it, the home crowd numbers this weekend for Quins RL and Crusaders RL stand in stark relief.
Wrexham is a relatively small town in Flintshire, whereas London, in contrast, is a major conurbation with one of the largest city populations anywhere in the world - complete with a fair-sized population of Antipodeans who've grown up watching rugby league down under.
'"
Don't you think that quite a few of those 6,124 spectators turned up to see arguably the biggest Welsh RU to RL convert since Scott Quinnell take the field for his first match?
Quote RugbyLeague56="RugbyLeague56"
I so wish David Hughes would at last accept that the only thing really standing in the way of the development of Qunis RL is Brian McDermott.
Are there any readers of this forum who still believe Brian Mc Dermott is the right coach for the club?'"
Yes, I do.
What are your coaching alternatives?
