Simon (think that was the reporter's name) used to give good coverage in one of the local papers but the main London paper (The Standard), which is allegedly our media partner ,gives us pretty much close to f**k all squared in a box!

We don't leaflet, we don't do fixture posters, BBC London TV news or "London Tonight", the ITV regional news never feature the club. The Richmond & Twickenham Times do put in reports, but when you have Media Partners in "The Evening Standard" whose coverage of the club is sweet sod all, then it kind of sums it all up really.

We have several years of attendance data in London. We don't need new market research to tell us that location has had no significant impact on crowds. We once had good crowds at The Stoop. Guess what, they seemed to coincide with better marketing and better results on the field.

October 2008...or around that time...read my OPUS on here, on what could be done for little or no cash outlay. We used to have a volunteer group who were prepared to door drop on Thursday evenings before home games.......not any more though...they were surplus to requirements as oyster card holders together with viral videos were seen as the future.....

.....and don't get me started on flowers on a round-a-bout either

When the RFL did do the marketing for the game against Manly it was very effective. Mostly down to the efforts of Adey Spencer who I think is long gone. If they really want to help, they should be paying to have someone of his calibre and experience full time in London.

did think it was a poor attendance when i saw the figure

but guess the football being on tv at the same time and union the day before at twickenham doesnt help!

.....and don't get me started on flowers on a round-a-bout either
well its nearly spring and time to get the flowers in the beds. Somebody mention a train station as a good site?

Outside the replacement bus service stop would be ideal.

Much of station destined to be under a huge concrete slab if Solum have their way. Not sure the blooms would appreciate that.

Indeed...In Texas now and doing very well for himself. Amazed that the RFL let him slip through their fingers.

Even just simple things like the cowgirls handing out flyers in Twickenham on game day seems an idea beyond anybody. It's truly shocking how little appears to be done apart from the once every couple of years invite-the-reporter-to-training story.

You lightweight matt.
