Quote: wire-quin "NB you won't drag me in to the apologist group. I'm certainly not a key board warrior and distance myself from the 'No1 supporters'.
Indirectly they are part of the grassroots problem. It's difficult at times to introduce 'new supporters', let's leave it at that.'"
In the Stoop days a few of us from a London non League football club watched Quins RL. One summer we brought a big group of first timers. At half time we were talking among ourselves about another fan who had taken up officiating and was expected to get the following years FA Cup Final. (He didn't but is a regular at the Euros and World Cup.) A well known Broncos fan turned round, started shouting who cares about Wendyball, football puffs etc.
Strangely none of the first timers ever came back.
