Why do you people always feed trolls?:



Quote: Dave Lister "Which core of the team is still present, that SHOULD be performing? I am struggling to identify our core now.

I couldn't care less how we operate with ball in hand when we ship 50 points.'"


If you hang onto the ball, kick effectively and make some of the play in the opposition half you ship less tries, don't you? If your always handing the ball over then you expect the opposition to come at you.

TBH it could be argued that conceding 52pts was fortunate, Rovers were knackered from the off given the Derby game on Friday which caused several chances to go begging today...

Quote: Dave Lister "Whoever is in charge of marketing or whatever etc needs sacking. Simple as that.'"


2,771 average so far this year. Compared to the same teams last year (3,234) we are 463 fans a game down (13%).
Do the club stick with the marketing plan they currently have or do they cut their losses, fire someone and employ a consultancy on a retainer with bonus payments built into the contract? If there's no budget for marketing, why have a marketing person?
The viral and the oyster cards didn't work and facebook was laughable. All of these things are being paid for by David Hughes so why is he happy to let this continue?

Rupe1 is wrong. DH has no need to hang his head in shame, but his accountant must have no hair left icon_frustrated.gif

Of course David Hughes is to blame

Who employs and has the right to fire a coach - David Hughes
Who tolerates defeat after defeat - David Hughes
Who is losing money hand over fist yet really doesn't seem bothered by it - David Hughes
Who has created a franchise that is an insult to Super League - David Hughes

Still carry on clapping if you are happy watching detritus.

I doubt many on here are clapping.
Rupe1.....you seem to quietly ignore the fact that without DH we wouldn't be having this conversation. As critical as I am of the club and it's headless chicken approach to most things, I am still happy DH is prepared to throw his hard earned into Quins RL.

He is responsible for the abomination that is Harlequins RL.

Did the villagers applaud when Dr. Frankenstein created his monster?

and you wonder why nobody takes you seriously d040.gif

I didn't see you with your cheque book at the ready in 2005 when it all went wrong.....in fact, I didn't see you on cold wet thursday nights leaflet dropping with other FANS who wanted to see the club do well......all you are is a keyboard warrior who WANTS the club to fail.....as I said above d040.gif

Quote: gutterfax "and you wonder why nobody takes you seriously


To be fair Rupe was a ST holder for years since Fulham days and I did see him put his hand in his pocket and pay thousands of pounds to follow a team he loved all the way to the WCC here in Australia in 97. I bumped into him at both the Canberra and Belmore games.

The team and club are different. He doesn't love them anymore.

Sounds like some others in the last year or so who weren't going to renew their season tickets.

You are indeed seeking adulation again for your previous efforts. So well done and thanks for helping the club out.

I have followed the LONDON CLUB since I was in my teensl even though born in St Helens and still live nearby and went to the first game at Fulham, also Big West Ham Supporter:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_1649.jpg



It's okay to talk about Marketing of the club gutterfax, which most of us accept is a serious problem, but you have to have the Product to market and it is pointless with what we are producing with performances, you can attract as many new people as possible with innovative marketing, but would we keep them, on our current state No!

I agree 100%.....but when I first met the club (2 years before I even became a supporter) the team was doing OK and they STILL had no cash for marketing. This is a problem of their own making. We had 2 Play-off teams to market and the 1 game that was marketed properly (IMO) we had a gate of 6,500 at griffin park. What odds us getting 6,500 for Leeds this year?
We had a product......even up to half way through last year we had a product that could be sold. Now......I honestly don't know if anyone could sell what's left of the club icon_biggrin.gifEPRESSED:

He does not, no. Not anymore. He has harped on about how crap things are, which many others have subsequently done. Not defending him, pointing out comparisons.


[iI didn't see you with your cheque book at the ready in 2005 when it all went wrong.....in fact, I didn't see you on cold wet thursday nights leaflet dropping with other FANS who wanted to see the club do well[/i

This is your way of saying to him how he could have supported the club, as you yourself did no doubt. This is why you brought it up. You are the only one of those people who did it that brings it up. It's adulation you seek, so I'll give you some. You're great, well done.

Rupe, the only people clapping the s**t that was on offer on Monday were a handful of the "Loyal & Loud". To be fair, most of their applause was drowned out by the booing.

Quote: Quin Eagle "I think a change at the top is the only choice now, but the question is can we afford to replace Mac. From what I understand we cannot afford to replace the three players(Wells, Robinson, James) we have lost so far this season, so do we have the money to pay Mac off and take on a new coach. Our attendances are going to continue to suffer with the run of form we are on, so with the licence up for renewal next season things are looking very bad unless something changes dramtically in the next month or so.

For what it is worth I don't blame David Hughes at the end of the day he is putting his money in to the club, but we need more investment to enable us to improve the squad and change ultimately change the manager.'"


If I was in David Hughes position my biggest wish right now would be for BMcD to be offered another job or resign. Unfortunatlely, he seems too pig headed to resign and realistically we are clutching at straws for him to get another job. However, while that possibility remains there is perhaps has no urgency to act as the damage is done for this season. I would certainly not be giving BMcD any money that may have been freed up to replace Wells, Robinson, James. He would surely waste it and it is best held back for his replacement to utilise.
