| Can anyone who was at the fans forum confirm these points:
a/ The fact that the club were in discussion with the Skolars over the possibility of the event being moved to TW2 was mentioned at the Forum.
b/ At the forum, it was stated that this move was supported by various people but probably wouldn't happen as the skolars weren't too sure of the benefit to them.
c/ DH or PB went on record at this forum as saying 9,000 would have been the targeted/estimated crowd for this.
I would appreciate it if someone could confirm or deny these points as AGAIN I seem to be a pariah

| like always these things are only half in the public domain. yes quins approached skolars with the idea as a one off game. (dont forget quins cant plan to get knocked out every year.) and it was considered and discussed very carefully by both sets of management.
skolars considered it and even invited the Quins GM to present to the board. it was considered but it was felt that a huge amount of time and effort had gone into the game over the years and a relatively successful event has been achieved. a chance for players, sponsors (inc Haringey Council), speccies etc to showcase the game in North London would have been given up to play a one of game that may or may not have generated a big crowd.
it was not an easy decision as quins and skolars mgt are working well together and we want to do more together very well and a double header will defo be on the cards for next year.
the 9000 crowd sounds doable but is not a guaranteed success but a New River sell out is very likely.
i hope that helps.

| Media coverage for a London league doubleheader on the weekend of the cup final would have been a lot more than either club would ever normally get.
That's one reason to have it.
another is the increased gate as a one of and the long term rub off of above on overall follow-up coverage.
two games for the price of one is always a good thing.
So is a beer festival.
It would also have helped skolars long term as it would have introduced them to the wider london rl community.

Agreed, we have spent years and years moaning like f**k about our own games being taken on the road and yet we slate skolars for this decision, they have a great slot in the diary which hopefully can be built on year on year and is seen by many a supporter as an ideal start the the CCF weekend.
Stability at all levels is required.

"That wasn't a kick, the was a pass with his foot!" Brian Noble making Andrew Voss lose sleep: |
|
| The decisions that were made, were made before our new marriage, so maybe next time around we will work closer together.*
How about for now we all say good luck to skolars with their game, I hope you do set a new home attendance record, and also another well done for starting to promote it so early on.
*Hopefully there won't be a next time for quite a while, Quins (and skolars too) should be aiming for wembley each year.

As I recall only point A was made. The situation clearly seemed to be Quins had made an approach but understood Skolars had made this night into their event so understood if it didn't come off.

THANK YOU.
I recall fewer things every year...but these three I was sure of.
Off to recite the alphabet backwards now to stave of the onset of dementia

I wouldn't have posted it if it weren't mentioned.
Sick sore and tired of getting grief for posting FACTS on this site
David Hughes said 9,000........PB said that (xxxx) from the Skolars wasn't up for it and I Believe Big Mac mentioned it was a good idea.
BTW...next time you are at the bar, mines a pint
