Do you not think your comrades down the Church and Walkabout etc have a similar opinion to you, or are you a totally different being?
You've yet to come up with any ideas that will add any more supporters to the gate. You said we should advertise in the Church. Great. But what do we advertise? Nothing? We have a 4 game strategy to advertise - great. Hopefully the relevent locations will be targetted.'"
Actually I didnt say that, it was someone else.
Basic marketing is that you have to make your product or service attractive to your target audience so they will part with money to buy it.
How can you do that in London where soccer is the only sport that really counts??
How can Celtic Crusaders do it in South Wales where Union is all that matters???
However those clubs decide to go forward........the 4 'ideas' that Harleqins have come up with won't do it

And again, you offer nothing, apart from criticisising what are 3 decent ideas (1 bad idea, i'll give you).

8213 vs St Helens 2006 as Quins.
I'm guessing the biggest as Broncos specifically is 8067 where Jungle.com sorted the Cas fans out in 2000. Could be wrong there though.
Only looking at league games as others are irrelevent.

10,014 v Wigan in 96.
9,638 v Paris in opening game of SL is impressive and would have obviously been largely Londoners.
Amazing what can be achieved when a new comp is hyped up - shame it hasn't been able to be sustained.

So what ideas can you come up with to get them flooding through the gates Dave?
Clearly you know how the club works far better than I do.

So you come along and say the ideas are so bad, yet can offer absolutely nothing yourself?
I am happy with the work the club is doing at the moment thanks.

Ok Dave ... how about this one
In Australia most NRL clubs have a 'Leagues club' (some have more than one)
If you are not familiar with the principle of them, they basically raise revenue to support and promote the club. They provide decent meals, subsidised beer, poker machines (similar to your fruit machines) and operate a members policy.
A decent leagues club is a great revenue raiser for a club. My personal favourite is the Canberra Raiders one at Queanbeyan (I lived not far from there for a few years)
Have Harlequins got one???
I looked on their site and couldnt see one mentioned.
If not, why not???

| Get Wetherspoons in to run the bars . Cheap beer is almost nailed on to draw the crowds .
We came down Saturday , got off the coach , walked straight past the ground and found a Wetherspoons .
We still had to put up with the RU game on the telly , but saved a fortune on the beers .
Out of interest.. How much does it cost at the Stoop for a burger , chips , and a beer ?

So you wouldn't agree that showing the 15 man game on a telly is a league ground is a positive thing???
Interesting.

| Barry, from one Aus to another, you're completely lost mate and need to do some reading around the club history. Culturally you're just not getting it. Have you just landed?
For starters, it doesn't own any land or property, or come to think of it any assets whatsoever, so how are you proposing a League club?
Second - it's pulling in circa 3k home fans, who actually live wide and far across this wonderful (but immensely spread out) city. When will they use it?
Third - no UK sport has a tradition of a League club in the Aus fashion. They're not traditional. British gambling culture isn't like the Aus one.
There's plenty of other reasons, but don't go thinking that because it works in Aus, it'll work here. Good on you for trying though.

No mate I've been over here for a while now.
As an Aussie you know that the leagues club doesnt have to be directly at the ground.
I use the Raiders club at Queanbeyan as a prime example. Great place. Buffet all you can eat lunches for members at $12 a shot. Steaks, seafood....you name it. It was chockers there every lunchtime.
It would be quite possible to set up a Quins 'leagues' club somewhere in a more central part of London. Take over a Wetherspoons....or the type of place one of the Walkabouts is situated. If you are trying to generate a bit of interest in the club amongst Aussies ....what better way to do it? A 'leagues club' style thing for Harlequins.
I reckon it's a goer.
But if Dave wants to stick with his dance off, family 'hour' and battered sav extravaganza at the stoop who am I to try and suggest things.
