And would be unlikely to be able to sell their beer in the Stoop's bars.

So its beyond the realms of possibility that that door, or indeed any other similar door couldn't be opened ? Do we give up before we start on any new proposal ? At the end of the day, ideas are there to be explored and you would hope that Quins Management are doing just that ... or maybe the path of least resistance = London Broncos ?

Yeah I'd like to think that we would look to think we would be at least be aspirational and but some feelers out there, maybe a few tenders and proposals that might lead to something. As you say ideas are there to be explored and offers rarely walk themselves through the front door and surely the Quins management are looking at companies that could have a reasonable tie to sport, and specifically league. I wouldn't mind a return to the London Broncos but I feel it is worth exploring ideas before we return to the Broncos, I chose the idea of London Pride Lions as Fullers made a significant profit last year and have stated that they will be plowing that back into their business, but this is the sort of things that someone at the club should be doing if they are serious about getting some extra money in; identify several targets, make sure they have a cash surplus, make sure they work for the sport and us, and make sure they increase the visibility and quality of the brand, etc.

I'm not sure on that one as the contract could be for the Stoop and all events or a copied contract for Harlequins RL from Harlequins RU. Either way I'm sure people would be happy to try a pint of anything from a trailer outside and bring it inside if the price is good. I've had Heineken from a walking vendor the very first game we were Harlequins RL at the Stoop, but I'm certain London Pride would not go down well from keg on someones back, although it would be nice to see those kind of things return to the Stoop.

Was it the thought of drinking Heineken that did it ?

As lagers go, I actually really like Heineken.

Lister is more of a Stella Artois Cidre man anyway. Hideous.

Remember that slander/libel discussion we had earlier?

I hope David Hughes isn't reading this. He blows 1 - 1.5 million a year on our entertainment and apparently the most important thing is what alcohol we choose to drink. Puts the future of London RL into perspective really. BTW unless he has moved David drinks in XXXX (not naming it as he probably fancies a quiet drink without getting ear bashed about our name/ground/colours), Madonna's ex local (no it's not owned by Guy Ritchie), and a well known real ale boozer.

I know he is always sharpening it! Are we flogging a dead horse with this Bronco debate?

I think, Harlequins/Broncos should be put down gracefully and with dignity, its not worked, even in the early 80's there was Invicta at Maidstone, that never worked, so we have to be realistic and say that there ia a North/South divide as regards to Rugby, North is League and South is Union. I may sound like a flatcapper, i think i'm a realist.

Yes, from a team that do not have their own ground, import expensive aussies and nick owners and players off a team who need them more than they do. nb there are more Sky RL tv fans in London than Wigan. Thanks for your comments.
