I was at the game (which was really enjoyable btw although disappointing result) and was surprised it was as low as just over 3k. I was thinking at least over 4.

Not sure if it was the sunshine but it was the best atmosphere I've experienced at your ground for a while and as a sort of neutral (I was cheering for you) it was an enjoyable game to attend. Dorn's one handed pick up near the touchline in the 1st half and his around the back effort for the try in the 2nd definitely the highlights.

Watching Quins is a bit like watching Wires in the early 2000s. I think that's why I quite like it!! Can't get used to this winning trophies and being good business!

Looks like from this topic the attendance was higher than normal (I wasn't there unfortunately) and that the official figure given by the club is "accurate" now as opposed to previous made up figures. Lets hope they made some money of the RU casual fans....and that a couple return in future for a sunny day of rugby!

It was surely at least 3600.

I think the Official figure is a bit underestimated again, but there wasn't much more than a hundred in the north stand.

Is that why the hull fans were ejected? For having AGAR OUT? Tee shirts?

They missed a cracking comeback that we let them have

Someone had an AGAR OUT banner up before kick off, which was swiftly removed.

I don't think they were actually ejected for wearing the shirts. I noticed they seemed to be having some sort of heated verbal altercation with other (presumably pro-Agar) Hull fans immediately after they equalised at 12-12. I stopped looking at them at that point, but a couple of minutes later I saw the stewards move in and escort them from the ground.

as desperate as we are for fans, it's good to see that we still have principles and will eject unrully fans.

I may be wrong, but wasn't there an "event" with FC fans when the club was in their first tennancy at the stoop?....it was one of the reasons that some of the union lot on their forums weren't keen on as a second time.

If the club were only going to budget for two people leafleting for 2 or 3 hours then Twickenham station was exactly the right place to put them. Basically you would be looking to persuade people to turn right and go to the Stoop for the game and a beer rather than tiurning left to the Cabbage Patch etc.

It would have been much more difficult to target the right people at mainline stations even on the day of the game.

I'm sure I counted at least 5 girls in away shirts handing out leaflets....I'm sure Paddock Punter will be able to confirm numbers ?

Ok that's good think it was 2 when I went past.

Only 2 that I saw. On the subject of the Hull ejectees I spoke to thema and they said it was for teh Agar out banner. Seems a bit daft as they had it on their shirts and were let in and wandered around pre game but when they put a banner up someone from Hull (presumably in an official capacity) had it and them removed.

Good job we didn't wear Mac out T shirts, we would have been playing to an even emptier stadium-No free speech in RL!!

If you want to protest get to Hyde Park! Northern Monkeys

We are never going to increase attendances until we start winning most of our home games.
(9 wins out of the last 29 home games just isn't good enough, imo.)

I would gladly have swapped the fantastic wins at Leeds and Saints for 3 home wins.

That's disgraceful.

I arrived at Twickenham BR at around 12:30 ish and left by the "Event" gate at the right hand side (as you go out) of the station. At the time I saw 4 promotions girls, 2 running around trying to see if anyone qualified/wanted a special offer flyer and 2 who where more interested in discussing what they did and who they did it with the previous night, who were stood by the main entrance.

I stopped off at the "benches" outside the main entrance to have my sandwich & crisp lunch which took me around 10 minutes. The 2 girls running around were doing their best to pass out the flyers, to new arrivals whilst the other 2 (outside the main entrance) appeared to find it a chore to move from the spot they were stood to engage with anyone. During my 10 minute "lunch break" I was not once approached by the promo girls, but when I left towards the Stoop I was offered Sharks/Crusaders tickets by the spivs. When I said I was off to the Stoop they replied "I can do you a £10 deal for the game today, mate" which I politely declined.

As I've said previously with regards to the gate someone is being "economical" with the true attendance figure. And whilst the promotion was well intentioned, it wasn't from what I saw well executed.
