Regardless of the crap served up on the park, the total lack of anything other than "lip service" points to the club still not understanding that regardless of where they play, they have to f""king INVITE people to come and watch

The Twickenham Stoop is not the problem.....but I suspect it will be used as yet another excuse by the club to cover up their total ineptitude.

There will be a least two games next year on the road.

Copthall?

Some co-operation is obviously happening.

From what I heard yesterday, I will be very surprised if we are at The Stoop next year.

Apparently, Quins have offered us a deal for next year and so far, we have not taken up their offer. Thats from someone with QRU connections.

Other gossip around leads me to believe that too. I will be gutted to leave The Stoop but if it is down to cost, then I accept we will have to move on.

Can't think of anywhere I would rather see my team play though.

I have said all along the decision may be out of The Club's hands at the end of the day, we can't be nothing but a cash till for a union club with an open cheque book.

Agree Snoopy...will be sad to leave The Stoop, but then I don't write the cheques.

Finances got to be a priority.

I guess there is an outside chance that we may got to Quins with an offer from another ground and maybe Quins will come up with better terms. Would be surprised if Quins didn't want us there.

This time round the deal at Quins seems to have been quite reasonable. Are you trying to suggest they are ripping us off ?

People have suggested on here that this club has the potential to be the best club in the world and I can understand their point of view regarding that but on the other hand, there will always be people who aren't satisfied with London [insert pretty name here] RL.

Wherever the club put their tent next, its not going to satisfy everyone. Come East and those from Surrey won't be happy at such a journey to a home game, go to far West and those from the East and Kent will have a trek on their hands. Its a double edged sword, really.

Do the club feel shafted by QRU? If they've raised rent prices then yes, there isn't much that can be done but if the rent prices have stayed the same or similar than surely the club must look at why they can't meet those figures anymore.

I'm not sure that they aren't offering us a decent deal but quite simply, if we can get a cheaper deal elsewhere than the CEO is obliged to consider it.

As Moe says, unfortunately, wherever we play is not going to suit everyone. I think the choice of ground will be 95% financial, bearing in mind the money DH has spent this year on players.

Everyone gets so emotional about this subject, at the end of the day it has to be what is best for the club & if there is a better offer we have to take it as long at the ground meets Super League standards.

You ask me if I am suggesting they are ripping us off, well I don't know I have not been in discussions & meetings, but Quins RU have done well out of us, they have had income they would not have received otherwise!

Now it is my turn to ask a question(which some will not agree with ) You state the deal from Quins RU is quite reasonable, if your privy then to this inside information, are you also privy to other offers of grounds on the table and charges, you seem to be well in the know?
