You are really missing the point here aren't you? 
Seriously, this thread started with you asking questions about Big Mac, but in reallity....the problem lies elsewhere  |

| Quote: gutterfax "Stat attack3% less the following season. Great result!
2005. Made the paly-offs and had an average of 3,918 that season. Then we moved, changed our name and attracted some curious Union lot and managed to add a whole 8% to the gates. Due to the move and name change, I believe that the 2003/2004 figures are the more reliable ones. If you question this, I suggest you look at the average gates for every team to visit London since 2000 and compare to the gates in that first Harlequins Rugby League Season...EVERY ONE OF THE GATES THAT YEAR IS HIGHER THAN THE AVERAGE OVER THE 10 YEAR PERIOD!
So....what do these stats tell us? Is this the ultimate chicken and egg scenario in that do we need to win to increase crowds or increase crowds to win?
Our (mean) average over the last 10 years is:
Position 7.8th
Crowds 3,611.3
I would suggest that, given we have hit the dizzy heights of 5th and 6th and yet found ourselves in DIRE debt and now have 1 less (average) fan than in the year 2000 that my route is the one to try this time.
Still Listy...we are all entitled to our opinions and even though mine are partly based on facts and stats, I will admit they are manipulated facts and stats.........but still, they aren't "if's, buts and maybe's" ![]()
Do you want to talk us though the 1997 figures or will that mess up your manipulation of the facts ?

Does anyone know if we're currently spending up to the salary cap? |

Who wants to "offload (David) Hughes"?
Speaking personally, I'm hugely grateful for David Hughes' financial contribution to our club.
I can't believe we'd be in the Super League without the financial support of David Hughes.

simpsons/017.jpg
Welcome Quins Kitties born 02.04.09 -
Purdo - Determined, loveable with a "can-do" attitude. A born leader.
Louie - Big, white and fluffy. A very noisy prop forward.
Harley- Cute and gorgeous (just like our no.9) Well, I couldn't call her Chad, could I?
Update on Quins Mogs :-
Purdo - deffo leader amongst Mogs. The Capo.
Louie - turned out to be more like Louie Spence than LMS. Re-named Judas.
Harley - Cute but not as gorgeous as our no.9.
Oh well, at least I haven't got a Willy.:simpsons/017.jpg |
|
|
I'm sure Mr Hughes will be grateful to know that some of the fans no longer wish Quins to relieve him of his money.
What a load of old codswallop this thread is.

Agree entirely. Only 1 person has spoke about DH being a constraint, and it wasn't me at all. |

Its annoying how a sensible debate has been turned into criticising DH for whatever bizzare reason. |

Hey...I have gone on record as saying that DH should be beatified...praised and honoured for all his efforts......but, whilst the cash has kept as afloat we have not moved forward as a club.
All I am saying is there is a direct connection between the type of player we can attract/afford and the revenue from attendances we achieve.
Just because someone donates funds to the club doesn't put them above criticism........ |

Hey...I said I manipulated stats to suit my arguement....so knock yourself out. Quote the crowds from 1997.....please do. Quote them for every game that season and then please compare them to the attendances up to 2009...........I'll have a guess that instead of being the same as 2009, they will be considerably higher. This will prove what exactly..that we have moved forwards |

| Quote: Dave Lister "In your opinion, what would it take for you want BM to be removed/resign?'" I think that the overriding reason for this run of defeats is the fact that we've had the heart of our team ripped out with Randall, Orr, Purdham and Dorn all out at the same time. We are never the same team without Purdham, but without the other three we are totally rudderless. I think Brian Mc's position should be properly reviewed in the final year of his contract - if we haven't made the play-offs by then, and are still bobbing around in our usual 7-9th place then yes, things may need a change.
I do think though that there are several SL clubs who would love Brian Mac as their coach.
Who would you prefer to coach us than Brian Mac? |

No BM shouldn't go...we have missed the playmakers in the team...when we are all fit and have the players that our messly club budget can afford we are a match for anyone...look at the results at the early end of the season. So BM is doing well with what he has.
What are the alternatives?? Bring someone else in and we'll be challenging for the GF next year yea? |
