Dozens of city types who won't give a hoot about RL and the Skolars in particular.

Yet another event that has no reciprocal benefits. We get nothing out of this.

Except a chance to watch a bit of rugby league pre-season. I'm usually gagging for it by then and it's just round the corner from where I work...

I can do that in my local and not have to travel miles and pay money to get into a friendly featuring one of the worst Super League sides and a team who only managed 1 victory all season.

I bet the city boys will be queueing up to invest in the Skolars.

That's a fair comment.

Still... I'll probably go. Take the day off work. Hopefully meet up with a few of my fellow Quins supporters before hand to get suitably refreshed, enjoy the rugby and then continue to get refreshed into the evening and beyond.

Sounds like a bloody good day to me

If it was on my doorstep like it sounds like it is for you then maybe I would be SLIGHTLY tempted.

Not on my doorstep but in a part of London I've worked in for the last 10 and a half years. I think it would work if you made a day of it. A late breakfast down Smithfields, a few ales before hand. The match. A few ales afterwards and a little night life...

I'd sooner go and watch Gillingham (and that's saying something).

That it is. I've never been more bored then I have been at a football match. Then to watch it at a lower level...

Its great fun going in the Away section and winding up the locals though

Can anyone join in this rubbish?

You'd need to have your IQ tested first ,just in case you are too smart for this bunch...

Well I'm really looking forward to it.

Great that next years fixture is on a Friday

As I'm now based in London I will be going - breakfast in Smithfields first up sounds like a smashing idea. Have we gone mob-handed before?

I don't quite agree with Listy that its a pointless idea - its good to have an annual game against the skolars and a central london setting is also a plus point. Its better than nothing anyway.

What is Smithfields-is this the ultimate brekky

Not wishing to sound like GF but here we have a game in the financial capital of the world and an excellent chance to pick up new sponsors and who knows a new owner and people on here say it is pointless!

At least the Skolars can see its potential. We should be trying to get the City types to a game at the Stoop and then try and loosen some money from their wallets. It also give the Skolars youngsters a chance to shine and our players get an easy leg stretch without the travelling.

I can't see why people want to moan but hey that's what we do.

If the streets were paved with gold a lot on here would complain about the dog poop!

What are You saying. The streets of London are not paved with Gold

[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smithfieldspmsl how long have you lived in London?[/url

Is that people singular or plural?

with your attitude no one wants you there. too depressing!

a couple of things:

quins / skolars relationship never been better
good quality london lads signed by skolars from quins
day moved to fri so that people can take afternoon off and alos Mc wants to try out a friday game

alos its always a sell out and attracts great sponsors of which one has become skolars main sponsor and has taken hospitality at Quins. not sure about others but thats up to clubs

well said Elite...

I'm up for this. Let's get this organised.

Nobody wants to watch Skolars either because they are awful. I'd give you another 2 years tops.



Really? What are we getting out of it as a club? What do you get out from it apart from giving our fringe players a run out?



And? What's your point?



Oooooohhh, nice one. And the people who can't take the afternoon off? Two fingers up to them eh? Just cater for the corporate types and forget advertising this on a fans forum.



Woooow, a roaring success then. We can't get anything out of playing the NRL Champions, so you really think playing the Skolars has any noticable benefits to us?

Ive been to the last 2 I think !! and enjoyed them both thoroughly. I will go to this one also

Im interested in this Smithfields breakfast that Curty is promoting!

I hope you like meat.

Only after 5 early strongbows
