Not sure what would be in it for other sports or the fans in question really. I certainly wouldn't care about ice hockey or basketball. Plus football is out of season for half of our season. Unless we swap a few supporters with the Scandanavian leagues

notice u picked the year with the most 2k crowds in u wont get anymore youve got huddersfield and salford 2 bankers for a 2 k crowd

I honestly picked that at random. I've looked and yes you are right, but there were plenty in the other years too - saying crowds have fell dramatically since leaving GP is wrong. We couldn't have stayed there anyway so its not even worth thinking about.

I guarantee there will be more than 3k+ each each of those 2 games. We had over 4300 at the weekend and the game was on the TV - Leeds probably brought 500-700.

I frequent the Church myself now and then

I don't think many of the patrons would be interested in UK footy

Just because they are mostly Aussies, Kiwis and Saffas in the Church it doesnt automatically mean they will come to watch Superleague

Especially as there are hardly any Aussies Kiwis or Saffas in the side anyway.

Just out of interest Barry, why have you joined this forum?

id say there was over a thousand of us i said a thousand to fella in bar who was impressed with how much we brought he reackoned there was more we was dotted about all over place

David Howell
Luke Dorn
Karl Temata
Chad Randall
Luke Williamson
Chad Robinson
Dylan Skee

all southern hem guys

No chance. North Stand wasn't anywhere near half full and there weren't many in the East. More than most teams have brought though. My block on the otherside of the East Stand was fuller than it has been all season, full of Quins fans.

Dave I have joined this forum to discuss topics with other footy fans.

You might think I'm trolling/flaming/whatever.


I'm not.


I would like to see RL flourish in London.

But if your club keeps coming up with gems like the OP states ..... be honest...how can you see crowds increasing????

The bottom line is that RL/Footy/call it what you will will NEVER be as popular in the South of England as it is in the North.

I don't think anyone can dispute that.


So you need to work with what you have.

You need to win as many of your home games as you can

You need to pull more crowds in.

The only way you will pull more crowds in is if people have a positive experience at your ground and tell their friends.

The suggestions I got off your own clubs website and posted at the start of this thread will NOT increase crowds.

Thats my opinion.

Just because you may not agree it doesn't make it wrong.

So you want to see RL flourish. So I assume you intend on attending the rest of the games this season?

Do you not think your comrades down the Church and Walkabout etc have a similar opinion to you, or are you a totally different being?

You've yet to come up with any ideas that will add any more supporters to the gate. You said we should advertise in the Church. Great. But what do we advertise? Nothing? We have a 4 game strategy to advertise - great. Hopefully the relevent locations will be targetted.

[sizeANY[/size ideas then Baz

But they are not big names!!!!!!!

You wont hear a bunch of Aussies in a pub talking about London RL and saying 'I really want to go to the stoop this weekend...I hear Luke Dorn
Karl Temata,Chad Randall,Luke Williamson,Chad Robinson and Dylan Skee are lining up against Celtic Crusaders'

No disrespect to those players but they arent exactly Darren Lockers or Israel Folaus are they???

to be fair The goons, stains or the whinos don't have massive Aus stars in their squad either.

[sizeStill sidestepping though[/size
