It has been said that the number of people watching RL on SKY is boosted by the significant numbers in the London area.
If London is producing a disproportionatly high number of SKY viewers perhaps Quins should ask for a disproportionatly high percentage of the SKY money.
Perhaps this is time for the RFL to back its expansion clubs with the TV money that their audience brings.
That kind of money could change and improve things for Quins almost overnight!

| Quote: Pinkerton "Why would dropping a division help the club? Most of the fan base would leave. No players from up North would want to come and live down here on part-time wages, so effectively it would just be players from our academy playing every week. We'd be getting thrased every week and end up like Skolars and Gateshead at the bottom of Championship 1, winning one game a season.
Moving grounds (again!) isn't going to chnage anything. Where would we go? Most places we've tried, no other football clubs would want us there.
Again I don't see what being called 'London Broncos' will acheive. It just makes us sound like an American football team. It's not like it was the original name of the club, some people need to let it go.'"
This pretty much sums it up. |

THE ONLY WAY TO GET SMARTER IS BY PLAYING A SMARTER OPPONENT

London FC, that would really confuse people.
Maybe relocate to Loftus Road and become Quins Park Rangers.
Go along the rugby union London Irish, London Welsh and London Scottish route and call ourselves London English.
London Spartans, would tickle many a belly and would make for an interesting replica playing kit for some of our larger fans.

Everytime someone asks what I'm doing at the weekend, I tell them I'm going to watch a Rugby League match. They ask who it is. I reply Harlequins. They reply that they thought that was a Rugby Union club. I reply no, they have two teams. I'm not sure why that's especially confusing, they seem to grasp it quite quickly.
Same goes with the way we advertise our games - it is made blatantly obvious what people are going to go and watch - COME AND WATCH RUGBY LEAGUE IN LONDON etc. That is the way our club will be advertised regardless of its name. The link to Harlequins is an excellent bonus.
People read far too much into things. The marketing we use is pretty simple and clearcut.

[quote="dally messenger":1gysl9ow]was watching an nfl doco. on one of their teams and they used the term bomb to describe those long high passes from quaterback to running back and i think gibson took that idea, realized you cant throw the ball forward in RL and adapted it to a "bomb" kick we have[/quote:1gysl9ow]

Isn't all the above patently obvious to all concerned? |

Quins need a winning side, media exposure, PR and better players.
Then they'll get a better crowds, simple really.

Harlequins will always be associated with Union. If any union team plays in quarter they're usually called something something harlequins.
I think it was summed up best when little kids thought Harlequins RL stood for Harlequins Rugby lessons.

Wrong. Harlequins are associated with Union to League and Union supporters. Harlequins are associated with rugby to the uninitiated. |
