Slightly different issue in that they do (ticket availability withstanding) have the choice of where to sit. Quins RL fans have that choice made for them by SKY/BBC/Quins RL (delete as appropriate)

It would be interesting to see a vote as to where fans would prefer to sit. I suspect (and have no data to support it) that the East Stand would NOT win

Mr Lister saidI'm in the GF camp now though, happy '"

Love the fact that peeps are complaining about being able to watch pro-league in the best stadium in SL and the club's efforts to allow them to continue doing so.

It is ridiculous - bet some of these people have never been to The Jungle, Belle Vue, Knowsley Road etc.

Perhaps the club should open up the Lexus and charge £500 for a season ticket to cover costs of opening it. I wonder how many takers there would be!

The KC Stadium is better than The Stoop IMO, unless you count ticket price in the decision.

flipping heck what a roundabout argument!!
RU supporters have the choice! depends how much they want to pay
we dont have any choice

apparently we should be grateful that we get to watch RL from what ever stand

look at the posts on here, the fact we are complaining must say something
Lots of us hate the situation we are in regards the stand that the club have decided to use for whatever reason
What the club have failed to work out is, we are the customer
and its us that pay the bills
saving money by using the worst part of the ground is only succeeding in alienating lots of fans and not bringing in the news ones
how is that improving the situation?
Save money now, just to lose revenue in the future

I hate the east stand and cant understand the reasons behind being over there but hey ho i will still be there next year, and will still moan on here about it

I much prefer the west stand but the peeps crying and threatening to walk away from the club cuz they cant sit in their favourite stand is just pathetic.

Agreed. They should focus on the real problems !!

Do you really believe that we contribute anything like what the club gets from Sky? Sky is also a customer just not one that sits in a seat.

I agree with you in that I don't buy this argument one bit (sky or money), I'd like to hear exactly what sky say since we've never actually heard directly from them on the issue, besides I don't see sky only filming the open stand, near on impossible - what do they do only film from one side? No they film from all over the ground! Besides they only film a couple of games a year! Anyway I can't see that anyone but the club would decide where people sit, I'm begining to think it's certainly not sky?

Thing is I can't see why quins are keeping things like this, I don't think it's cost either as it'll only take another 5 or less stewards.

So why? What's to gain from closing the ground? I think the club need to open the Lexus stand again to have any chance of moving on, I fear though this won't happen!

I think now, more then ever the club needs a fans voice or group who can go someway to finding answers to these and increasingly more and more unanswered questions from the club.

ok, so what are the real problems and how should we go about solving them?

For reasons gone over many times on here, I would much prefer to be in the West stand. I'd pay more for the option, but the club aren't offering that. I think they may be making a mistake there, though without any real understanding of why they've made the decision, I can't be sure.

But the deal that they are offering is IMO great value for money. I had decided that I'd upgrade next season to the seats they're now classing as Silver, but no point in that, I'm going to go for Bronze. I can sit wherever I want in the allocated blocks, move if I don't like anybody nearby (a true boon for a grumpy old anti-social), take someone with me and sit next to them, sit out of the sun by arriving early which I always do, and stay home for the odd evening game on Sky where sun-in-eyes would be a real problem for me. Even at normal prices, Bronze is great value for money, but at geriatric/student special rates it's almost a giveaway.

Now, PLEASE dear management give us a team that's competitive and entertaining.

I'd say Lack of crowd numbers for first team fixtures
[2] Lack of action to address this.
[3] Lack of awareness in the local and wider community
[4] Competitiveness of first team (although this wasn't so much of an issue at the beginning of the season). 4 home wins isn't good enough.



Much harder to answer.

Getting enough people along to fill a stand !

Genius If only the club had had that idea
