Quote: Paddock Punter "If someone puts a case I will listen to it. The repeated folly of rebranding and renaming and moving every few years has got us not very far forward in 30 years.'"


Wot ee sez, bruv. The only point I can see in any rebranding would be around a big sponsorship deal to "re-brand" us as London and the name of a well known brand or product or "health" drink if the rumour mill is to be believe). Outside of this, then the only other time to re-brand would be upon moving to new premises.

Quote: Paddock Punter "We may be strengthening the squad a bit for next season but if all the money being thrown at this by yet another chief exec trying to put his stamp on us were to be spent on further players or (with gritted teeth in homage to GF) on marketing that to me would make far more sense.'"


But what if this is new signing stategy is in conjunction witha targetted marketing campaign to residents within say a 20 mile radius of The Stoop. Wouldn't that signal were at The Stoop for a little longer ???

Or is it like I have believed just a red herring to divert attention from our on field poor performance and activity in support of our Licence application???????

Welcome Quins Kitties born 02.04.09 - Purdo - Determined, loveable with a "can-do" attitude. A born leader. Louie - Big, white and fluffy. A very noisy prop forward. Harley- Cute and gorgeous (just like our no.9) Well, I couldn't call her Chad, could I? Update on Quins Mogs :- Purdo - deffo leader amongst Mogs. The Capo. Louie - turned out to be more like Louie Spence than LMS. Re-named Judas. Harley - Cute but not as gorgeous as our no.9. Oh well, at least I haven't got a Willy.:simpsons/017.jpg



Lambeth Quin - I think you have hit the nail on the head with your last para. If the club felt that re-branding had to be done to secure us a new licence, then I am right behind it.

Re your second para, I thought it had been stated that we were at The Stoop for the next three years. I do hope so anyway.

Nah, quite a few of them have high IQs.

I am working on it as I type. Might take a couple of weeks as tracking down attendances for some games is proving tricky.....anyone out there got any links to difinitive attendances between 1996-99?

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



Quote: Dave Lister "I think you'll find its probably idiotic anti-Union Northeners who make up the majority.'"


Oh we have a chip on our shoulders, I may be a Northerner but I can assure you I am not anti-union they show us up these days with marketing and the way their premiership is run. Some Northerner mates who supported Saints could never understand why I was a member of Orrell RUFC but I enjoyed going to matches and one of the players I knew went on to play for Salford after I had approached him. In fact working it out I always did well in the Orrell international ticket draw and I have been to Twickenham more times than I think Wembley, the atmosphere amazing, even though some of the toffs on the car park with their picnic baskets got up my nose, LOL, sorry Dave but you do like to put people in boxes, real life is not like that.

Quite, I am an anti-union Northerner, but only coz I think it is a waste of space!

Quote: gutterfax "Really? On what do you base this statement?

No...and once the final home game is played I will post some stats on here to prove that we have done no better or worse than when we were the Broncos.


It makes no difference what we are called..........how we announce what we are called and how many times we invite people to come and watch us is what will make the difference.'"


When I said move on, I meant in the name change sense - however I've never been a fan of the Stoop because it lacks atmosphere in comparison with Brentford and is in an area ambivalent to RL (very few locals watch and IMO will ever watch Quins RL).

Talking about losing fans - I know quite a few who stopped going immediately after the name change to Quins. The Welsh posse are an excellent example. I also have not seen Louise and Steve since the name change - formerly very staunch well known vocal London RL fans.

Crowds are less than they were at Griffin Park, but have been pumped up recently by ticket giveaways. Nevertheless I think the club did pick up a few new fans since moving to the Stoop. Hopefully some old fans will come back after the Quins moniker is ditched

Anyone who thinks a name change won't make a difference is deluded and probably a "Quins" brand lover anyway. It will make a HUGE difference. The Quins brand offered nothing for the RL club. It doesn't even have a civic link which is more important for RL clubs than RU clubs

How you come to that conclusion is a baffling as you unending loyalty to the Quins brand, I think Lobbygobbler1 states his case well, I agree the Quins and this is not Anti Union brand has done us no good it in fact harmed us, The Stoop worked first time around but then we did not have there brand, but the damage has now been done.

Why can't people accept a survey was done and a clear majority backed the club in a name change and long term to look to owning or part owning a ground, if people had said no we want to keep the Quins brand and stay forever at The Stoop I can assure you I would not have thrown my dummy out like many seem to keep doing.

How do you know?

The results of the survey haven't been published, unless I'm missing something.

Perhaps you don't like to see the truth & fact or simply do not purchase the club programme?

The sooner this is resolved the better, then I really hope the squabbling can stop and we can move on to see Our Club succeed in Super League.

Well, its pretty sad and pathetic that the survey results are only published in a club programme....I mean, why not on their website? I've never seen these results....can you send a link to a report or similar?

My bad. I don't tend to buy the matchday programme, I must confess.

I'm surprised as many as that voted as well, that's better than I thought.

Ah, well, the question asked was just a bit loaded. icon_biggrin.gif
Here's part of the survey:
2. Should Quins RL change their club name?

-No Preference
-Yes
-No


3. If the club were to be renamed, whether you answered Yes or No to question 2, we would value your thoughts. Given the club's proximity to London, would you agree that a reference to 'London' should appear within the name.

-Yes
-No
