1649_1338292262.jpg I have followed the LONDON CLUB since I was in my teensl even though born in St Helens and still live nearby and went to the first game at Fulham, also Big West Ham Supporter:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_1649.jpg |

| Interesting letter in the RL weekly press this week, pointing out there is only One RU Club left in London now, and that is Quins, all the others have moved away why??
Just listening to Smooth Radio in the car here in the NW, Red Devil commercials all the time, Join Dr Marwan Koukash is the strap line, he must be throwing some money in, even a different one for the Red Devils Business Club, but will it make any difference, I seriously doubt it? Huddersfield have tried everything even when top of Super League so often 5,000 plus, the Birth Town of the Sport?

Saracens are in N London.
Near Quins, you've got Richmond, London Scottish (who have ambitions of being a Premier club), Rosslyn Park.
One of Richmond or Scottish have applied to the council to do up The Athletic Ground.
London Irish still have their base in Sunbury-On-Thames, having moved slightly down the road.
And I can see London Welsh returning to Old Deer Park, sooner rather than later.

| Strictly speaking Saracens are in Hertfordshire according to their postal address and Richmond is only on the borders of London. London is 95% a football city and that is the real problem, Even County cricket struggles.

I went to watch Richmond RU on Saturday. Reasonable crowd in attendance. Rob Powell is apparently defence coach there now BTW.

Sums up the mentality and aptitude of your average RL fan.......I think you'll find that there are a great number of Union clubs in London, including Saracens and Harlequins. The fact that London Irish moved to Reading has more to do with the fact that the ground and clubhouse they own (purchased in 1931 for £1,300 and now worth an estimated £100,000,000 ) wasn't up to scratch or big enough to take decent sized crowds. Wasps have moved purely because they were shipping cash by the bucketload and are now in charge of their own destiny and london Scottish/Richmond will soon be back at the top table having being funded by the sale of scrum.com to ESPN for £millions. London Welsh are a basket case but still manage to attract more fans than we ever could.......
Laziness is the reason London Broncos never attracted decent crowds.......Hughes has dropped cash everywhere except in terms of marketing. Will the penny ever drop? Doubt it.

Here's a heartfelt suggestion. Put me on your ignore list. I know I am repetitive....but not as regular in my comments as the club are in managing to make the same mistakes time after time.
If you or the club want ideas for marketing and promotion, then PM me.....I now charge for my services and unlike the numpties employed by the club over the years, I work on a reward/consequence scenario......I deliver, I get rewards, I don't deliver, I get my contract ripped up.

In which case, Twickenham is in Middlesex, so Quins are not in London.
They have a TW postcode.
You'd have to look at Barnes at being in London with an SW13 postcode.

I thought Saracens were now at Copthall which is London NW4.

| Don't forget Rosslyn Park, Blackheath and Ealing. They all get a decent attendance. County cricket does not really struggle. The Oval and Lords are always packed for the T20 and a fair few one day games. $ day games I grant you but that is true everywhere.

Many marketing companies work via the net don't they now.I know you are in New Zealand but why don't you offer your services on a commission fee if you would be so successful?
