No they don't. I went to the Walkabout a couple of years back when Manly were in town for the warm up game........the few aussies that rolled up for a drink were amazed to see the team there, asked why they were there and were stunned to hear there was a pro RL team in London. This is nobody's fault other than Quins RL, but if you think about it, London is a pretty big place and the cost of marketing does prevent the club from total blanket campaigns.
The point of the warm up game being played in London is to attempt to raise the profile of the game in the south east.....a task that becomes more difficult as the years go by as the press have no interest, radio even less and TNT want to charge a fortune for space.
I see your point when it comes to there being 2 games of the regular season moved, but in the greater scheme of things, it is a small price to pay for trying to get some coverage of the game in the south east......
If you want to moan about disrupted games, I suggest you have a word with the RFL, Crusaders and nobby who had our game in Wales moved to accommodate the BBC and their Challenge Cup coverage.....that was a travesty. Or even Sly TV moving the only game they ever moved in France.....because "Quins don't bring many fans"...so it won't inconvenience many....
