| I forgot to mention you should not watch the Skolars if you have a bad heart. They have won the last four home games, coming from behind in the second half in all of them. No shortage of spirit, effort and sheer will to win. A great antidote to the Quins methinks.

Me too. A lady in front of me, asked me why Pryce didn't get more of the ball. It reminded me of the old zen saying, if you see giraffes neck going past a second floor window of a building why can't you see it's whole body go past. He should be a world beater, but only he can explain why he is not.

| Left at Half-time. I would have stayed if not for other engagements. Interestingly, the last time I had seen Skolars was against Oldham last year. And, I have to say, they have improved since then. Good Stuff.

| Well done Skolars, did your best to chuck it away but came back and got the win! Good luck for the rest of the season.

| An entertaining game, much better than the one that preceeded it.

Not one to want to start a bun fight, but are you saying that less than 300 stayed to watch the Skolars game? Are you also suggesting that the crowd of 4,200+ was down to the Skolars?
The attendance For the Skolars on the RFL website shows 1,105.....that's up from 437 as declared for the Welsh visit to North London and the 327 for the visit of Keighly...or the 290 you got for Rochdales trip south.
The Only gate you get that's bigger is for your pre-CC Final beer festival!
...as for getting a big crowd to the Wigan game The average gate at a Wigan game at the Stoop since 2006 is 5,019, so a crowd that is 12% down on the average, in a season where our attendances are down 12% is about right.
As I say, I have no beef with the Skolars, but the game at the weekend which gives you added exposure plus the SL Clubs continued participation in the pre-season farce in the City both are to the benefit of the Skolars more than Quins RL. Let's not get started on the teamsheet.........it's rammed with QRL fringe players.

| The declared figure can be politely termed a guesstimate. From where I was sitting I can only assume they were including those participating in the post match party inside the bar.
Given how many RL fans expressed disappointment at how few RU fans stuck around to watch RL at the double header, it's hardly surprising a RL fan would express disappointment at how few RL fans stuck around to watch what was effectively a free game. However, it's a free world and people can come and go as they please. Personally I stuck around and am glad I did, it was an enjoyable game.
What I would say was that I didn't hear the Quins announcer mention that Skolars were playing after the game. Seems a bit odd to invite them in and then plug just about everything other than the fact they were there. I'm not really sure they did get much exposure out of it to be honest.

Me too, it was far the better game and Skolars looked a pretty well organised team.

I'd agree with all that, I didn't hear it being plugged.
As for those watching, I reckon about 400 of us, but probably another 300 in the bar

| I complained to Petra about this. It was a great opportunity for the Skolars and this guy forgot to mention it! Did he not have a script? It beggared belief, I was furious, a good number probably had no idea there was another game on. Clueless, that is what the Quins lack, joined up thinking. If the Skolars grow the game grows in London.

| We were surprised it wasn't mentioned by the announcer. I guess it was an oversight, but an opportunity missed. Enjoyed the game and will probably try and get to a few of the skolars home games next season.
