| Wakefield and Castleford remain in limbo as they bid to push on with their own individual projects amid council calls for a more viable groundshare option. Fans of [sizeHarlequins, who continue to struggle for crowds[/size, and Crusaders will not be resting easy either.

| I hate this whole system. Neither Wakefield or Castleford deserve to be booted out, and kicking us out is only suggested by the ignorant.

| I reckon last minute the RFL will bottle it and go to 15 or 16 clubs. Then really tighten the franchise process so that every 3 years one will go only if a sensational franchise is forthcoming from some wealthy backed club.

Without the continued financial support of their sugar daddies most professional sports clubs of whatever sport wouldn't be in existance. My own football club has "loans" of £8million from the owner. And were still ing about in League 1 this coming season.

| Dave, it wouldn't be such a big deal if it was relegation. Some teams will NEVER get to compete at the highest level, at least Quins will always be in Super League, because it's London RLFC. I imagine Wakefield/Cas/Salford will se this as a potential 'death knell', but everyone apart from Widnes (in the championship divisions) it's just an ongoing situation.
You have to be a realist, and accept Sky Super League is about expansion. That's just the way it is. See you guys in 2036 ?

| It's very depressing, but Quins really don't deserve to be in Super League.
If we do remain then something has to be done with marketing the game effectively and if that means that the RFL funds this, then it has to be done as it's wrong that a London based team cannot get a full house when the Union side does most every week, although in the old days they'd be lucky to get 1000 turn up - how times have changed

| Marketed properly and with real enthusiasm plus a few risks Quins could get the gates.
Everything else would fall into place.

| Quote: nadera78 "Remind me, how much debt is Hull KR in? £3 million at the last count. Your chairman claimed you need a 10,000 average to break even, and looking at your average crowds you're obviously going to lose more money this year. Let's see how long it takes for your team of Australians to send you broke.'"
We get around 8,000 per game would be more if away fans actually travelled in numbers like both Hull clubs do . Another bug bear of mine is the money we generate for other clubs sometimes taking between 1500-2000 away fans .
As for the Aussies bankrupting us we are signing Blake Green & have put in an offer for Willie Mason so make of that what you will , you shouldn't be in SL your attendance & performance is shocking and your away support is non existent.

The same as many SL clubs. An owner with deep pockets............. Q. How much is KR's overdraft at the bank??
Another "M62 only members should play Rugby League" porky peddled in the northern pubs, clubs and League Express to justify the myopic "rugby league is a local sport for local people" mantra that is entrenched in the North.
What do Harlequins bring to SL ?. out of interest what is your average attendance ? Do you think you are a competitive side , lets see what the attendance is on Friday when you play Crusaders, how many of your fans will turn up.

What is with your obsession with attendances? How does the number of people turning up at our games affect anyone?

I'm not obsessed with attendances Dave but of course the attendances affect the club in revenue, and if people don't turn up you have no atmosphere .

And what has it got to do with you, your team, and Rugby League in general?

red chilli obviously falls into the latter category seeing as he robbed it from slstats.org.
