PB stated he wanted to change the culture he found at Quins RL when he arrived.....as far as I can see all he did was remove the commercial mangager who sold 1 box over a season and replaced him with a marketing person who has managed to waste money on various stupid ploys ![]()
Do you know what the real crowds were for 2010 as i know that they were nowhere near what they claimed season tickets were only around 800 and for some matches as many as 1000 were added onto the crowd figures the Dragons match being one!!!!!!!!!!
I think you are right in what you say there is a culture at the Quins of just accepting the situation for what it is the whole office needs a total clear out and they need to get some serious marketing people in i stated before there are 2 people in France who i think could do the job if anyone at the Quins had half a brain they would know who to contact!!!!!!!!!!

Why are you continually being so cryptic and addressing a forum as if it had some in to the Quins board ? |

You also said they wouldn't be interested so why ring them or equally why don’t they apply for the job/

I believe you are correct.....and if the newbie is referring to him then he needs his bumps looking at. I believe storminateacup was a PR professional before retirement...pr isn't what the club need |

Perhaps the [size newbie[/size isn't a [size newbie[/size at all? |

so...if the newbie isn't a newbie, it does beggar the question as to if he believes the answer to Quins RL's woes are in France, why hasn't he applied for the role himself?
I did, failed and have been bitter and twisted ever since...it upset me that much I had to leave the country for the far side of the world.....but at least I threw my hat in the ring.  |

I am more interested in the insider knowledge with regard to our apparently inflated reported attendance figures. I mean, why would DH accept a tax bill for 1,000 fans who weren't there?
Is the newbie already working at the club? Does he/she have access to the clubs books? Or is it just plain supposition?
Sorry, but gates of 2,000 are only a little worse than 3,000 and I doubt the club will tick that licence criteria box anyway so why would they bother?

Maybe they just don't know what they are talking about. |

Interesting train of thought.....I am still keen though to know why the "newbie" thinks that:
A. Harlequins Rugby League would submit an attendance figure of 1,000 more than actually paid to enter even though the additional £15,000 in imaginary revenue would attract tax...at say 30%...or £65,000 over the course of the season.
B. The solution to Harlequins Rugby league's ongoing problems are 2 people who live in France. I mean to say that my mother and my eldest sister live in France....have they been keeping something from me 
C. Harlequins Rugby League have the contact details of these two French Based saviours....Harlequins Rugby League have the contact details for a number of people.....but generally prefer to contact them through facebook. Maybe these frenchies should contact the club.....just a thought.
D. 800 Season Tickets sold in 2010? Was this announced by the club or is it a wild guess?
If the newbie is in fact someone who posted on here previously and has decided to post under a new name after repeatedly telling us they were off I can only summise that retirement in France isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Lastly.....and I may be wrong, aren't the Pollards France bound some time in the near future? Not sure if they'd thank me for this, but I believe the two of them could do a better job at TW2 than Mr Blanchard did. |
