What a few of my Souther chums don't realise is that they're club won't exist in a decades time unless you do something about it.

Everyone realises this danger. If it was that simple to address the situation it would have been done already. Relocating to another random football ground is certainly no solution.

I still think you should go to the Olympic Stadium, if you don't a yawnion club will and yet another opportunity for League in London will be missed.

I very very very very very much doubt a Union club will go to the Olympic Stadium.
Which club were you thinking of? Blackheath?

Stick with The Stoop.

As for the transient Aussies, I stood next to two on the Ealing Road Terrace moons ago. He was on the VB while his mate smoked a joint! He was very surprised to find we had Jim Dymock and Jason Hetherington playing for us. Two big name Aussies and he wasn't aware. That showed me how much yer average Aussie knew about London RL.

If I was living in Sydney and Shane Williams and James Hook were turning out for Randwick, I'd know about it and be down there!

Possibly but you can't prove that and nor can you prove that a move to another location would be any improvement at all.

FWIW, we are a West London club. If the Olympic Stadium would be good for RL, fine, but irrelevant to us, somebody else should have a go at it.

This from a Leigh fan, a heartlands club who have 3 figure attendances! Don't you think you should move over to blackburn or burnley? If you stay where you are between Wigan and Wire and Salford i can see your little club dying.

Doubt it. If we were to go under again, I am sure the "club" would move on.....maybe in the Championship, but it would continue in some form.
As for advise regarding geographical location...I take it you know London well. If so, you will be able to tell us your projected fan numbers from East London if we were to move to the Olympic Stadium....looking forward to seeing those when you post them icon_lol.gif
The problem with Quins RL is not the name (Union etc..)or the location, it is the failure to get the message out there that we exist. I have lost all interest in targeting ANZAC fans....they have no interest and it's doubtful many would travel to Loftus Road...let alone the Olympic Stadium. Even if you built a stadium in Shep-Bush green I doubt many would bother.....the target audience the club need to concentrate on is the borough of Richmond Upon Thames/Twickenham.........and they need to get the "family day" thing going...with mums and dads encouraged to bring their kids to a game with no blood scandals, no racist chanting and very little swearing if any.......
London RL has about 1250 to 1,750 fans that would travel to any southern ground to watch the club play under any name, but to throw the towel in after 5 years would just compound the issue again.

When did we last get three figure attendances brains? I don't get why your average attendace on the SL stats on this have got you at 6535 when your biggest crowd has been 5200 against St.Helens. Must have Murrayfield Magic boosting it up. Your actual average crowd at The Stoop is 3112. Leigh got battered in SL and averages 4736. I think a Quins fan starting an arguement with anyone on crowds is incredible. My little club will outlive your little club my freind.

You know a town is pretty dire when it's commonly refered to as 'the poor relation of Wigan'. So, you got a thousand odd higher attendance in SL than we did? Well, throw open the gates, scrap the London team, if we're going to promote our game we need Leigh in Superleague, it's clearly the cosmpolitian, cultural, economic hub of the country, it deserves a spot. I mean with the 'pie olympics' taking place in Wigan this year and indeed every year, we need it's little cousin Leigh in the Superleague.

If you had listened to every single post I have ever written on about expansion and who should and shouldn't be in or out of Super League, you will notice that every single time I put Quins in and don't put Leigh in. But thanks for tearing apart the town that my family are from and my daughter will have to grow up in. It's the kind of narrow minded, idiotic, ignorant but over-opinionated a**eholes like you that stop people talking openly about the game. Nice one.
