It took you long enough to understand it .......Tatty bye chuck

thought you were going back to your own board ? You can't have much to say on there 'cos the majority of your posts have been made on here......

Now lets see total of about 11 posts, 10 in total on the Quins board, about six on just this thread....now that just leaves one.....oh that was on the Wakey board wasn't it, discussing.....Oooh getting Quins out of Superleague.............you've not actually posted on your own board yet.....lots going there then.....just like you said. You also edit your posts quicker than Monica Lewinsky went down on Bill Clinton...........please don't call me a troll you say.......ok then....you're a fooking troll........

Every one on here will know of people who at one time went to every game, bought every shirt, cheered every try. People who now don't go to even the games against the big guns. Only my opinion of course, but I don't think it's actually much to do with the product on the field (as bad as that has been at times) and more to do with the continued mismanagement of the club, the feeling that there is no serious plan for the future, that it's just lurching from one week to the next. People can put up with poor performances, but the sense that the club is actually dieing and yet completely unable to recognise that fact and act upon it, is something else. Eventually it wears people down, even the most ardent fan.

(Some people obviously drifted away with the Quins link up, and I'm not going to criticise anyone for doing that, we all know the history between the codes and also the way things ended when the Broncos played at the Stoop.)

This really is last chance saloon, no doubt about that. The starting point is that attendances need to improve and soon. It must surely be easier to get old fans to come back than to attract people completely new to the game? If they could show that they were getting to grips with the problems that have beset the club over the last x years then perhaps that would encourage people to return?

Ta Ra chuck, Corrie repeat must be on in a minute, or is it whippet racing or ferret dangling on telly tonight........

You spanner.
My Grandfather fought in WWI.....but guess what, I am not Andy McNab.
Widnes used to be a great team...they went bust and are currently in the 2nd tier of European Rugby League....

Hope you get some positive news on Friday,as I,ve said on here before I enjoy coming down for the Quins games and have had many a chat with fans in and around the ground,before during and after games.
If as has been mentioned somewhere on here the RFL have forced IL to relinquish his shares,are they being given to Hughes,or just held to give him full control,or indeed has he found a buyer to share in the investment.
What most of the other Guests that come on here and post about your place in SL should realise that very few SL clubs run at a profit,IN fact I think this year MY team are the only ones doing so.
Without the likes of messrs Hughes ,Lenaghan,Davey etc pumping money in very few would be viable on the crowds that are coming through the turnstiles,and most are just grasping at straws because promises were made in the last franchise round and they were not acted on.Now it looks like the chickens are coming home to roost they get all indignant.
Best of luck and see you next year.

Would pretty much agree with all of that, and would probably add to the point in bold, that possibly unlike our northern bretheren [where the game,not the club per se] is ingrained, some of the London supporters over the years have just drifted away from the club and the sport as other issues take priority in their lives.

What intrigues me is that the provision that the RFL can force someone to dispose of their shareholding in a club would seem to really exist. A certain person not unconnected with the non appearance of Stevo as coach and us nearly losing Struddy before he arrived was talking about this in the late eighties but I tended to ignore him as it was connected with his personal vendetta against Roy Close.

I can't buy into this - people drifting away because of the mis management of the club. Liverpool FC are being mis managed big time but they still get full houses, anti glazer faction at Man U set up another club but Man U still get full houses. Wigan under Mo for the last years would seem to be mismanaged but attracted big crowds.

How has the club been mismanaged? It seems to me that with the resources available they have put out the best team they could but in Gutterfaxs world that meant that there was no money to invest in the m word and build crowds that way. Now there is an arguement that a winning team more than marketing would increase crowds but that is a whole new debate. So mis management? If that means an underesourced back office and systems then yes I would agree - but I guess what money there has been has gone to the team.

I would tend to agree with Homers later post - people's lives change and other priorities come along, coupled with an unsuccessful team and the club not being ingrained in people.

Myself - I love the game and would obviously prefer us to be winning, but the love of the game means I carry on.
