Anyone know why our game at your place is on a Friday. We never miss the Harlequins fixture but just wont be able to get there in time.

You have my sympathies.

I think some of our own fans will have a hard time getting to it as well.

The phrase politically correct is in itself politcally incorrect so should be rephrased politically stupid! If you like old type radio comedy/ dramas etc listen to //pumpkinfm.com/ Statistically speaking you have a better chance of getting dead the older you get! Thank god only when you find a religion that passes the truth test!:13554.jpg



I agree that other Clubs inc mine (the Bulls) have you down for Friday this year,but that may be due to us playing the Whinos the following Thursday.
That said Quins don't take that many to away games what ever day its played, but I would have thought for home games the Club would want to maximise the crowd base by having Sat/Sun games considering the reported financial deficit. (even Sky don't like to show the Fri Home games of yours so I don't think its them at fault)
The Club doesnt seem keen to offer an explanation but I'm sure someone who posts on here might have an idea!

not sure why the club has gone for a fri night for yr game

but have to say even though we do not take many to away games this year we have 7 away games on a fri night!!!!! basically means that any quins fans who want to go to any away games are stuffed!!!
Have some sympathy with you and the bulls game being a fri but take day off and come down anyhow

Pollsters doing Excellent job - say recent polls.:



At present your home fixtures are mainly Saturdays, a few Sundays, Easter monday and one Friday night (Bradford). Twickenham doesn't have any events listed for that weekend that would clash. Is there anything else on at the Stoop on the Saturday? Friday night will halve our away support easily. I was looking forward to a summer weekend in London wrapped around a rugby game. Now that holiday days would have to be used to get there it becomes a different matter.

That is purely because the next weekend is Easter. I think both mcNamara & McDermott would prefer to play 3 games in 11 days (Fri - Thursday - Monday) rather than 3 games in 9 days (Sun - Thursday - Monday)

Thankfully I dont need your sympathy, but looking at the crowds you pull your club could do with my money which on this occasion it will not be recieving. icon_thumb.gif

And the rapid way your crowds are descending, we could both be in the same boat pretty soon.

Though not in great shape we are not doing quite as bad as some other clubs. Check our accounts.

If as a club you can in effect throw the revenue of usually around 300 to 400 bradford away fans down the tube you must be a very wealthy club. Good luck to you.

The fair weather, part-time nature of your supporters is noted.

Sarcasm helps keep you from telling people what you really think of them.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_9.jpg



Kind of pathetic having a tit for tat spat over my club/your club does, because at the end of the day it's still supporters who get shafted whenever clubs schedule games for times/days when it makes it very difficult to follow your team away without incurring additonal costs such as using holiday allowance.

Like it or not, northern clubs scheduling games on Friday night to suit their own supporters or corporate clients requirements are never going to have the equation of an even more diminished following from London factored in, whereas the same in reverse will have usually have an impact upon the QRL gates.
