According to today's "Rugby Leaguer & League Express" it was even worse than the 2,500 we thought on here - they list the "crowd" as 1,973. Rather interestingly, Martyn Sadler, in his column puts this poor crowd down to the game clashing with both the Grand National and Quins RU game on Sky v Bath.

If it was 1,973 for the Fart-own game, then I'm even more concerned about Thursday's crowd.

reckon it'll be pretty similar maybe around 1,800.
which is pretty much how many fans we have.

That sounds like the number that Chris Warren announced, certainly one thousand, nine hundred and something.

I think Thursday night will be our lowest crowd of the season....we could even be outnumbered by bar-staff



Hope Paul Blanchard (GM) likes a challenge!!!!!!!

Getting served should be easy then

Still take ages though.

Think your right there about 1800 as I would say most of Quins RL fans (that are left) are pretty die hard so will come what may.

Wonder how many seasn tickets were sold this year, last year it was about 1100 recon some have hemoraged would be interesting to know, though I doubt anyone would like to say.

Yeah i remember hearing the 1900 crowd being announced. My girlfriend and AFL fan laughed at us. But I think secretly she's converted, I heard hear yelling several times through the game.

Can't make this game thursday which is a bummer.

Goes well with your user name

You cannot be serious

You get served quicker at west mids A&E

Hindmarsh made me write that

It was what i expected. Why would it have been higher when we only average 3500k for league games and the 4th round of cup is always low?

Think we've had even lower gates for this round before, although probably against non SL opposition. With Thursday in mind is there a statto out there who knows what size crowd we have to beat in order not to have recorded SL's (or our) lowest gate ever?

about 1,200 I believe. Workington Town. We had 1,800 for a game v Hudds in 2001 which I believe is our lowest crowd in the SL era.. with 2112 being the lowest since we returned to the stoop (castleford)

I'm sure one of the statto's will correct me but we played Gateshead on a Sunday lunchtime around 12.00 ko last time out at the Stoop and that was a miserable turnout for SL.

I am sure we had a three figure crowd at the end of 1996! But it could be my mind playing tricks.

Look at some of yesterdays crowds for Coke-Cola Leagues 1 and 2 and we aren't doing to badly:-

Hereford v Brighton 2033

Leyton Orient v Leeds 6943

Barnet v Rotherham 1508

Chesterfield v Lincoln 3419

Darlington v Wycombe 2180

Port Vale v Aldershot 4140


Now i know it is not the Championship or Premiership but with football being the national sport and all the column inches devoteted to boring the pants of the reader you'd think they would do better than this!

I await the rebuttles.

Other sports don't interest me. What does interest me is the Crowd figures at Quins Rugby League. I have no say what so ever in what the club do to address these figures, I simply point out that they are bad and offer possible solutions.
Personally....I would have made every ticket to this game £10 and run a little advert in TNT.

Sounds reasonable to me, maybe chuck in an small Easter egg for the kids......I'm sure Paul Blanchard has a plan to address this but I'll be effed if I know what it is!!

ps thought the O's would have been fairly happy with a midweek gate of nearly 7,000

Probably about 5000 from Leeds

However, Saturdays attendances from the the Same Coca Cola league 2:

Bradford City 1 Brentford 1 Attendance: 12,832

Bournemouth 4 Rochdale 0 Attendance 5,092

Exeter City 2 Dagenham & Redbridge 1 Attendance 5,123

Gillingham 0 Barnet 2 Attendance 6,033

Port Vale 1 Bury 1 Attendance 5,763

Shrewsbury Town 1 Grimsby Town 1 Attendance 5,535


1900 is pitiful, however did get more than Accrington Stanley(1,139) but who are they?

I don't care about OTHER teams attendance, nor do I care about other SPORTS attendance.....This is about Harlequins Rugby League attendance...and the fact that we will be looking at a pityful turn-out on Thursday after a pityful turn out last weekend and the pretty much pityfull attendance figures over the last 13+ years........

It's from the milk advert. The appropriate response to which is Exactley. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pieK7b4KLL4 Not reminding me that our crowds are poor. I know I go. now bog off to your marketing threads

Cracking Idea......

If we think of the Huddersfield attendance as bad, wonder how the Catalan figure will compare?
