No arguments from me on any of that. The club website is woeful, and the last place to look if you want to know what's going on at the club

Ref part of the matchday experience off the pitch today... The steel band were there as advertised, they were tucked away in the South East corner, belting out there tunes, accompanying them was music being blasted out over the P.A system. If you were sat at that end, you couldn't hear the steel band for the P.A, and you couldn't hear the P.A for the steel band, then the announcer chipped in as well. If you were elsewhere in the ground, you couldn't hear them. How easy can it be? If you're going to have a steel band, have them on the pitch with mikes nearby and forget playing the recorded music.

The 49'ers... get shut. Same "music", same "dance" before each game and a repeat performance at half-time. What do they add to the experience?

Maybe I'm just getting old icon_confused.gif

Best part of the day was the mascot derby. Did you see the dragon get smashed at the tackle bags lose his head and then got up to run away? Kicked the ball and his foot flew off. Just couldn't stop laughing! Was the dragon from France or Wales bring them back next week with a different half time test. icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif

Simple but very effective half time entertainment

Junior League matches.... (5-10 year olds)

Would be a massive bonus for the club on several fronts.

- You bring up to 40 + kids to a game (with parents and family in tow)
- Much more entraining the the kids we have dancing now
- Another way of capturing future Quins fans by giving them the thrill of playing in front of a crowd in a genuine stadium
- Everyone loves watching the fat kid trawl up the field with 5 kids hanging off him
- Promotion of junior league in London and SE

These games take place all over Aus at half time, quick 10 minute match... The kids that get to participate are absolutely pumped after the experience.

The music the cheerleaders dance to is absolutely terrible, it is just noise - They would do well to do away with cheerleaders all together, they add nothing to the viewing experience, whether they're 12 or 26 IMO

Actually the club knew that and and practised it years ago, but seems somehow to have forgotten. Maybe it went with Chris Warren?

Yep, the Half Time Heros were always good entertainment.

I was actually saying on Saturday that the match day music is hardly invigorating, when you're watching Rugby League. All that Pop/Dance nonsense hardly gets you pumped up for Rugby and it's probably what gets played in the dressing rooms before kick off. I'd be in favour of more grunge/alternative being heard on Match Day icon_cool.gif k020.gif

What's happened to having a band in the bar after matches too?

I like that.

I'd also like to see themed days at home games as well, to add to the overall atmosphere. It's just as important to have a good show off-the-field, as on it, if we want to welcome families back.
For example:
Medieval day - Living up to our name and having jesters, juggling, knights, wizards, kids' run the gauntlet challenges, face painting, food etc. We could bring back that dragon mascot that was there on Saturday.
Beach party - Cocktails, smoothies, ice cream, inflatables, BBQ stalls, steel band etc. Obviously would have to take place in the summer months.

Those are just a couple of examples.

The whole "Cougarmania" that Keighley had going in the early stages of the Super League era was beneficial to the club on and off the picth, yet they were unlucky to not get the Super League position they probably merited.

I like the kids idea. Do the Junior RL kids in London still get free Season Tickets? Its a lot to give away but surely there's ways to work with this. For example, give tickets to each team. For example, give away 100 (just an example) tickets to kids from Greenwich Admirals one week, South London Storm the next and so on and so forth. Dads will have to pay, so there's some revenue. Get in entertainment, face painters, decent dancers, bouncy castles and mascot/fan interaction and maybe they'll return.

There was a band on Saturday competing with the England match.

The band weren't competing with the England match. They were watching it....while playing. Idiots. As far as I can tell all sports club websites are sanitised and dull, Im not sure they make much difference tbh they're just a reference source for tickets and location etc.
