I'm with SteveQuin on this one.

I can't take anyone seriously who only posts on here when the team has gone on a losing streak.

We turn in a performance like that and you are still most worried about the name

Go to Catalan and we are known as London Harlequins Rugby League

I have not posted this thread to wind anyone up or start a debate. It is a genuine question as to whether we are obliged to use the name Harlequins. As Chris wrote, using the stoop is beneficial to both the RU and RL outfit and I am not advocating another move, I am simply asking the question - whether you disagree with my other views or not - I fail to understand why asking such a question merits such abuse.

I haven't seen the contract but realistically it will contain a get out clause, with a set period of notice for both Quins RU and RL. Whatever initial deal was signed appears to have been renewed (probably slightly re-negotiated in the process) last season. It is almost certainly too late for either side to serve notice for next season.

Frankly I think Quins RU have slightly bigger things to worry about than whether Quins RL are causing them problems at this moment in time. As for the finances, it was made very clear the two sets of accounts remain separate so we ain't costing them dosh, though there is no obvious huge gain for them financially either - though I think the re-negotiation was probably to their advantage rather than ours from the hints dropped at the time.

My understanding is that Quins RU made us changing name a pre-condition of us moving to Twickenham Stoop. As such if we change name we will be homeless and on the move again (in the unlikely event we still exist without the name Quins.) Legally we probably could change name for the season after next, practically there is no chance we can unless someone fancies sinking in lots and lots of money for the foreseeable future to bankroll us.

We can talk all day about changing name, ground etc but those who bankroll the club have made it clear they think this is the best option. Unless either that changes, Quins RU get fed up with us or someone else is prepared to replace the current boards financial input there ain't going to be a name change.

Amazing that Rupe1 went eight months without posting on here until we started losing: forums.rlfans.com/search.php?search_author=rupe1 Bugger off troll. Your comments are worthless.

WE?

You're against the very notion of being Quins, slag us off at every opportunity and only post when things aren't going well.

Sod. Off.

This is supposed to be our Forum to openly debate, not just all keep The Party Line.

I'm not endorsing anyone or their comments, we may not always agree with each other, but it will be a very sad day for Quins RL and London RL if we can't speak freely.

oops

Rupe1 - what is this we?

"Quins RL" is no longer used by the club, right?

That's right AF, we are Quins Rugby League.

You sure? I'm not sure that's officially used either. Sorry, personal bugbear here, but the failure to decide upon a working short form of the club's name... grr...
