But there are a lot of us Up North who would agree. We think it is important that Quins exist, are in Superleague and thrive. But we also recognise what a tough environment London is to survive in as a minority sport.

Wishing you well and hoping you can get some good home wins to back up the marketing efforts (which I rather like).

Yeah...Catalans players (alledgedly)

If you run Richard Lewis's staement through the b*llsh*t remover (I'm warming it up for the forthcoming election) he doesn't actually say anything. If he was giving an interview on GMR he'd probably say that Salford were important to SL.

They are in important to South Lancashire!

(and I'm a Salfordian!)

I think Lewis is right, we are important. The "Harlequins" brand may not last but a RL team in London will survive.

We see these northerners saying that after 30 years we can't attract a crowd but what about the teams up north who have been around a hundred years and only attract a few hundred fans? Looking at the Championship only Widnes (IMO) would have crowds better then ours if they were allowed in Super League, Leigh and Halifax may get similar crowds but there really is no sense in dropping Quins from Super League.

I've voiced this from day one, the name "Harlequins" was never going to work. The name "Harlequins" is a Union brand and Southerners and in fact all UK people with a slight interest in sport is going to say Harlequins is a RU team and the vast majority aren't going to understand about the RL team. The name "London Quins" would have given us our own seperate identity but kept a part of Harlequins' identity.

Another thing is the shirt, up until last year a Harlequins RL shirt wasn't identifiable until you got really close to it and saw the "RL" bit stitched in underneath the badge. At least now we have our own seperate badge but I think a all black shirt with the pastel colours as trims on the arms and down the side of the shirt would provide us with a seperate identity from the typical Harlequins colours.

I say we keep the Quarters but change the colours to red, white, yellow and blue.

Now you're sucking diesel!!

Was'nt this the original London Broncos shirt, I've got one?
Not too pretty, but that is probably due to the poor design/material.

My favourites were the original Fulham shirt and the cool Crusaders shirt of the glorious 1993-4 season. Both primarily black.

Is that a good thing?

How about we keep the quarters but go for black black black and black

A true of progress will be when people like RIchard Lewis don't have to say things like this.
