Hi there,
Firstly, this is not meant to be a negative post, just one we can all add our ideas to over the weeks. Alison has managed to get PB to agree to take on board some of the things we say and as such, let's see what we can come up with.
Firstly, the Number of the Thread!

I know, their short-sightedness and selfishness would get in the way of that. I still think it would have been great having unallocated seating in the East from the start but appreciate it would be impossible to price/make any money.

GCSE's have ended and kids are back at school IIRC. A-Levels finish this week perhaps? Or certainally by next week. They don't go back to school. Wrong time of year for opens days tbh, people have made their choices by now sadly. Still, there are plenty of 15-16 year olds still being schooled so they could easily be targetted.

Alison has managed to get PB to agree to take on board some of the things we say and as such, let's see what we can come up with.

To be fair to PB he already understood a great deal more than we gave him credit for. He understands how we feel and what we think, the message for whatever reason was not getting across from the club to fans. I agree though, we have complained about bums on seats and should all work together to get this improved. Ideas should be sent to PB, I know he will reply. Like I said previosuly we may not always like what we hear but we will get a reply. We cannot have a say in the running of the club or the policy making which happens at board level but we can put forward ideas, we can give our time and we can influence each others thinking of these very ideas. Some of them will be good, some will be hopeless, some will have been previosuly tried but may be worth trying again. Things like giving tickets away on radio as prizes. So keep the thoughts going, get along to as many forums as you can and keep the mails coming in

After attending every season since the late Crusaders days, circumstances dictated I could not attend one game last season.

Finally, I made amends and got myself over to the Celtic Crusaders game the other Saturday, my first match since September 2007.

- why was only the East Stand open? (ok, the south stand is being rebuilt).
- is it really a whopping £35 to sit in the 'best' bit of the East stand?

As it was, I got invited into the London Welsh RU corporate box for the 2nd half, so I lorded it with the nobs rather than slummed it with the plebs.

Read your PM.
As I said, no negatives here please.

something on the cheap

say at all the major shopping centres in London i.e Westfield, Brent Cross
or busy streets

have a man/woman volunteer with a little stand (like the evening standard type) trying to gee up a bit of awareness for Quins

Each volunteer could be given a unique number and discount vouchers to give out which can be presented on the gates for discounted tickets.

Those unique numbers can be tallied up with a substantial reward for the highest fan recruiter.

thoughts?

Like it. Alas, these places frown upon such activity unless they get paid.
I stiil (and have said since 2002) that we need to send cheerleaders in full gear into "crim" bars on fridays selling pre-tickets at £5 each........and if a few of these cheerleaders were to wander into the westfield ...well, so what?

Why not target the college next door to the stoop, must be several hundred students who attend. Use their college id to get access, free or cheap ticket as reward for exams and introduction to QRL.

go to brunel uni uxbridge a lot of rugby played there and other sports and easy to get to the stoop hand out £5 tickets

HELLO
Is that the penny dropping

i sneaky plan for long term exposure, lets go and give free tickets to all the students in media and English colleges and universities. That way the future writers could all be potential league fans.
