When have we tried to find a supporter base in TW2? Please...if we fail to attract crowds it is for 1 reason only.......and I am still of this belief nearly 5 years after we moved to Twickenham......nobody knows we exist.
The club have again failed to market the game or the matchday event......they have stumbled around EXPECTING PEOPLE TO JUST ROLL UP........and when they haven't, they have just given up. I understand there is a 2 page article in one of the RL papers with the marketing bod at Quins....and I am currently trying to get a copy sent over, but I can pretty much gues that it's a couple of pages "boo hoo....it's the toughest job in sports marketing"......so what? If it was easy, they would have had 1000's of applicants.......what is the use of telling the RL community that we have trouble attracting fans when we haven't tried to attract fans locally?
Kids = Development
Amateurs = Development
Neither = fans
For as long as I have followed the club, there has been an attitude that people will turn up eventually....well I am sorry, but if you want them to turn up, it would help to INVITE THEM FIRST.
Move to MK? If so, watch the club die in 3 years. IMO that is
