| Would agree with under the sticks.
I went to Catalan and also wanted to arrange my "compensation" tickests for 4 Nations, challenge cup etc. It was complicated because i had arranged foe a geroup of us, 5 in total, 2 from North and 3 from London, Petra at the club could not have been more helpful.
I loved the Broncos, i loved that glorious start to the season with Luealuia, Dorn (remember Mr Lister), McLinden et al but forget the name/shirt the Stoop is a fantastic rugby ground. If we can build our crowds to 5000+ it will be an amazing experience and completely different from the KC, Halliwell and all those football stadiums
This forum is getting depressing. Yes we have lost 5 on the trot, though should have been 4, we have lots of injuries and we have a small squad. But this is a team i support, i support them win or lose. I can crticise them but i still support them, no team wins every game - lets get behind them.
Better Quins than no RL, i still believe.

Without the opinions there would be no forum. Listy and Rupe-y, although different add the other side of the coin which provokes debate.
Interestingly even Listy didnt agree with Rupe. Does that mean we have a 3 sided coin!!

Williamson is getting better as the season goes on, but imo isn't anywhere near Steele's performances for us.

| The player who is going to take over Retchless's mantle is Robinson. Im always happy when both of them are out there though.
However, we need someone to score the tries as well and that is our current problem with Randall, Howell, Purdo and Dorn especially out

| Quote: Under the sticks "Although the club do not always get it right, I would just like to counter that last statement CB. During this week some complications arose with regard to tickets required by our group as a result of the Catalan debacle, rather than write a long winded email I called the club, got straight through and the issue was resolved in 5 minutes and arrangements for tickets agreed. We all encounter issues from time to time, but I have to say that my experience of dealing with the club is normally good and I have always found them helpful........if you have an issue that needs be resolved pick up the phone..... `It`s good to talk`(taken from an old BT add for those too young to remember
Also good to see that there are times when clubs get it right as well. I am absolutely sure that there are a minority of times when it gets it wrong and if you are minded to pick up the phone then fine.
It fundementally does change the pointg that if you have a feedback form on the website and say you will respond then you should do exactly that

| Quote: Dave Lister "Thats probably because you went to the Broncos every week but you've only been to 1 game all season this year
But maybe for one reason or another there isn't the motivation and dedication to go, it can't be because I dont like the team, rugby league etc because I still watch a lot of it on the box. It's just not the same atmosphere etc imo

| I can understand where these people are coming from.
After all the years of abuse and bigotry by the Rugby Football Union, we go crawling to them for help and take on their name and colours. It was a dark day when it happened in my (and a few others) eyes.
I can't see many benefits on gameday of being Quins rather then the Broncos. For example:
* Griffin Park was a typical Rugby League stadium with its terracing and closeness to the pitch whereas playing in a relatively big ground quite a distance from the pitch is a huge atmosphere drainer.
* Griffin Park had a pub on each corner of the ground whereas you have to make a good 10-15 minute walk to a pub - called the William Webb Ellis, a RU pub.
* We had our own identity unlike now where we use someone elses. If you ask many Londoners they will say Harlequins is a RU team and not have a clue that there is also a RL team. The London Broncos didn't have a decent marketing team and thats why they struggled.
I've always been a believer that the best stadium I've seen RL played in London is Loftus Rd aka Queens Park Rangers home ground. Yes, the seats are a little uncomfortable and cramped but its a tidy ground, close to the pitch and now has the benefit of having the Westfield Centre nearby so the Wife & Daughter could go for a shop while Father & Son watch there team at QPR.
But I don't want to get into all this arguing, this is just my opinion, have a go at me if you must.
I love RL and am glad we have RL in London.
