What`s with all this last minute outrage about the seats on offer, it was made quite clear when the tickets went on sale (back end of last year?) that initally just the Ethiad seats were being sold......so I bought straight away for a sizeable group and have have got good seats......it`s called forward planning.

Now supporters come on here a few days before the game and accuse the club of not doing the very thing that they themselves have not done.......forward planning.

If you could not be bothered to secure a seat early then don`t moan about what is left on offer. Did not hear a peep from you about the ticketing arrangements when they first went on sale.

Give the club a break.......or is it just too good an opportunity to have another whinge??

Bought 10 tickets for £5 each on half way line months ago.

Some of us have lives outside Rugby League and can't make such commitments so far in advance. Not catering for walkups is barmy.

This kind of attitude and essentially only catering for the fans that will be attending anyway gets us nowhere. Great, we have the people who will buy tickets miles in advance but these are not the people who will make the club grow. The people who will make the club grow are those who are in fact being offered the worst possible product, through no fault of their own.

Oh come on! You can walk up and buy a ticket on the day at the ticket office, where's the problem. People are looking for excuses not to come! Surely we have better things to moan about? If you leave it late you will have to take what is available, maybe the club should offer a chauffer driven rolls to the ground and butler service? LOL.

This is the point that seems to have been missed by some. I bought half a dozen tickets for a fiver each on the half way line ages ago on the basis it was a bargain and I could find friends (one other STH + a few who go to one or two games a season) who would come along, but anyone unacquainted with our club or code and unfamiliar with the layout of the ground etc., just seeing the match advertised this week and thinking it might be worth a look, won't get a great experience if they turn up with a few mates and pay on the day to find most of the ground closed and they can't get seats together or get a mediocre view. Hopefully this won't be the case.

Surely, just for this one glamorous game, we could have made it clear right from the start that the whole ground, or at the very least the two largest stands, would definitely be open (as was the case for the similar fixture last year) and we were aiming to better last season's crowd of 6,000 against Manly?

The hard core may grumble sometimes but will usually keep turning up regardless. It's the more casual or occasional spectator who won't complain publicly, but just won't bother returning, that we need to bear in mind here. Otherwise we'll never get bigger crowds in the forseeable future. This whole apparent ethos that "it's not worth opening more than a bit of the ground, but we might open a bit more if there's more interest than we expected" seems incredibly negative and just creates a very downbeat and low key image of the club for me.

OK. If you really believe that is adequate then that's your opinion.

Ironic considering the amount of bleating so called "supporters" did about having to sit in the awful East Stand that was apparently completely justified because the view isn't as good because of the concourse and that the sun got in their eyes. But then its OK to treat new supporters badly by offering them awful seats in a stadium that is 2/3 empty. That's really going to bring new fans in, but its OK as long as the regulars have bought tickets well in advance

Pathetic responses Listy.......yes we all have lives outside of RL, but I suppose some of us are just better organised than others.

So according to your attitude anyone who makes the effort to go along on a regular basis is doing sweet FA for the club and RL in London in general........and what the club should be saying to any regular who wishes to buy a decent ticket is `hang on, can`t sell you a ticket just yet mate......I need to hold on to them until the last minute when the moaning late comers have dragged their backsides along`

The tickets are £10......£5 if you are a STH........for that you get to see a match against some of the World`s best players, pre/post match entertainment etc........how can anyone moan????

I don`t wear rose tinted glasses, I know we are struggling (jesus I nearly put a bet on that we would lose every game this season), but some of the moaning gits on this board are doing more to deter new Quins fans than any mess up the clubs PR/Sales department might make.

What part of my response was pathetic?



What are you going on about? Where have I said this? You don't understand the point here at all do you? Do you think the purpose of this game is an extra present for regular supporters? I'm glad you treat potential new supporters as "moaning late comers" who "drag their backsides along". That seems to be the club's attitude too. Supporters are welcome to purchase tickets well in advance and that's great, but not when the club offer no half decent alternative for others.



Again, you have massive blinkers on here and are failing to see the wider issue here. All of which is true, its great value, but that isn't the point.







Totally ridiculous. Yes, a few people who look at the bigger picture on a Quins RL forum for Quins RL supporters have a bigger influence on bringing in/detering new supporters than the MARKETING deparment do. Do you really believe this?

I think your the one who is going off at a tangent......present for supporters, club attitude????

I fully understand accept that it would have been good to have all of the stands available and to be offered a wider seating choice., but if you are a late comer why would you be surprised that a seat on the half way line is not available. If you were flying off on holiday, arrived late at the airport and could only get a rubbish seat on the aircraft......would you demand they put on another plane, go home in a strop, swear that you will never go on holiday again, write a letter of complaint to the airline.....no, you would just get on with it.

Regarding the level of negativity on this board.........if you can`t appreciate that it is OTT and a likely turn off for a new fan, then I`m afraid it is you who are wearing the blinkers.

You were the one whinging at the idea that late comers would be treated well in the slightest, and that only supporters who order well in advance should enjoy a decent seat.



What a ridiculous example, but I suppose it shows how you are missing the point. If I walked into the airport and asked for a seat and was given a rubbish one, I would accept it if that was all that was left. If the plane was 2/3 empty and seats were there untaken but I couldn't sit there, I would be fairly upset. I probably wouldn't fly with that airline again either if that is how they treat their passengers. I don't think I need to go on any further as hopefully you grasp the problem now.



I don't see any undue negativity. New supporters are unlikely to vet a forum and make their choices on the basis of what people are saying on here.

But then, if you continue thinking that the club operating in this fashion is good for business, then fine, it'll be the "negative" posters that'll be here in 2 years time telling you "we told you so" as you sit there clueless as to why we didn't get a license as apparently everything right now is sound.
