I bow to your ability to be universally disliked in under 400 posts.......it took me close to 22,000 to get to your level of "distaste" and direct requests from not only the "Phew Few" clique on here who'd have nothing bad said about hughes, but also from a umber of other "media" sources who cited my misgivigs as being responsible for the decline in the fortunes of the club.
Unlike you, I offered valid alternative strategies, now being used in Toronto.....at little cost to Argyle than a couple of rounds in a local bar and a selfie on social media, but your "vile and putrid" attacks on the Quins venture were founded on nowt other than your bias.......we had more fans in those first few years at Quins than we ever did anywhere else over any stretch of time.......Hughes "bu99ered" that up...not the Union tie in you "fetid sore on the sport"....now seriously, Jog on!

| Bit confused here, bloke asked a genuine question, can’t it just be answered without the “we all hate you”.
Not being funny but if you don’t like him ignore him!

| You clearly don't know the history of this guy. There were anti Rupe T shirts at one point
Welcome to the old world of Harlequins

| I don’t go digging through historical chats WQ so don’t do history of posters.
As long as folk are not being abusive or hurling personal insults then happy to, debate, argue with anyone.
Just a bit shocked at response, he asked a q that was in the end easy enough to answer. And “call” thanks for getting the figure, it is slightly better than last year (still not good)

| Quote ="Call Me God"922 average for the 11 regular season games. By contrast Leigh averaged 3,538, Rochdale 552.
As for the vanishing act of attendances being announced/published. This happened about 3 years ago when there was a conscious decision made by the cubs/RFL not to include these in their match reports as the general "chatter" on RL forums was being clouded by the discussions about the decline in interest from fans and ergo sponsors etc.....this year The RFL have been happy to only include one clubs attendance figures in dispatches.....the mancpack, whereas the likes of Wakefield and Salfords crowds have been swept under the carpet. That said, they can always be found with the rare exception.....if you're that keen to find them.
As for this.....
The simple act of you being alive does that....being on this forum just amplifies it! Jog On'"
Wakefield announce their attendance at every home game.

| Think the point being made is the attendance used to be published with the match report.
Look on the RFL, BBC website results page it is noticeable that the figures are usually missing.
Announcing it over the tannoy at a game is different

I enjoyed myself tremendously. I quite enjoy standing pitchside and the bar is excellent. Frustratingly I can't make the Halifax match though. Fingers crossed things go out way and there'll be one more oppprtunity to visit this season. Was good to see some old faces.

He's not just "a bloke"....pure and simple and the welcome he got from not just me should be enough, but if you're that curious, run along and research some of his sneering and venom filled posts from back in the day. He claimed the move to Quins would destroy us and that we lost thousands of fans the minute we moved....then the slimeball stopped posting for a good few years until the Rot of Mackay set in and came back gloating......he's toe-jam and that's me being hard on toe-jam!
Also, anyone who starts a post with "don't mean to wind anyone up" most assuredly does......even you're not that naive are you?

I did find it strange that as someone who held a season ticket for many years, travelled to Australia to watch London Broncos in the World Club Challenge back in 1997, I became a figure of hate for some people just because I was so disgusted at London Broncos being renamed Harlequins Rugby League.
For anyone who knows about the history of Rugby League, to get into bed with a Union side was to me treachery. 'The forbidden game' by Mike Rylance is a wonderful book for those who would like to know more about how Union behaved towards League.
I couldn't stomach it and I stand by my views on it. Furthermore, there was an element of the support who relished the decline of the clubs status, so that they were able to be acknowledged by the players as if they were all best mates.
I remember how well this manifested itself when we had Jon Wells the winger who didn't score. People refused to admit he wasn't Super League standard just because he was a good bloke. This attitude and refusal to ever be critical was the reason London got relegated.
My interest in why attendances were no longer published was borne out of no ill will. I hope London Broncos get promoted.

I answered his question.
The rest of it should be nothing to do with you given you claim not to know of him or his history on here, but it's your narcissistic duty to delve into topics of which you claim to know nothing and no doubt when you feel uncomfortable in this "unknown" area, we'll drift into a refereeing thread

Mind boggling how someone who refers to himself as 'Call me God' can accuse someone else of being narcissistic.

| Good God this is like an old school re-union. Maybe the promise of SL in London next season has revived some memories. Be good to have this forum populated with opinions again. On the plus side how good has Danny Ward and this squad been this season. As soon as the bogey side Leigh were out of the equation they have looked invincible.

| So you saying you don’t actually want to ignore me then? By the way the whole point of a forum is to put your point forward and debate it, nothing says you have to agree with what someone else says.
