Try reading the post before you go off on one, there was segregation within the stand behind the posts, Leeds fans directed to one half and Quins the other, those trying to sit in the "wrong" half were asked to leave by stewards or cut off before they could get there

The reason there was segregation was that there were a load of kids playing around the Stoop during the day who were given free tickets to the game. Unfortunately it would seem that not many of them took up the offer and were taken home by Mum and Dad etc when they finished rather than come and watch the game. Disappoiniting given what we are trying to achieve but I guess the England USA match didn't help. I was speaking to a coach at a local club and he couldn't beleive it and was really frustrated. So apologies to the Leeds fans but there you have it - it was hoped that about 500+ kids and relatives would be in "our bit" and I guess it made sense to have them in one bit as for many it would have been their first game.

And with all the empty bits in your ground they had to choose the end we had paid to sit in and divide it into two parts with red tape and stewards who asked you to move if you sat in the wrong half. That was my point and a silly mistake that could have spoilt a great day. It didn't - due to the fact that when our half was full Leeds fans just went and sat in the other half of the end and the atmosphere was good.

At Leeds I still tend to switch ends at half time though the Carnegie end is in theory for ticket holders only. The year it poured down at Saints resulted in the covered end being packed to the rafters with both sets of fans and a great atmosphere. Sadly there was segregation at Quinns last weekend and I just thought it worth mentioning the mistake.

I repeat that we had a great day out and will continue with a must away fixture each season, but with you having so much trouble getting London based fans to use free tickets I was just trying to suggest how you could use the visiting fan base as a target group. thats the bit you are missing. Its the same idea behind the sale of your shirts - Target away fans who want to purchase a classic design at a decent price.

so thanks for a great day out and keep it going.

Please don't return.

Ignorance is obviously BLISSSS. Not even if I donate a few quid to your special banner!!

Yep, I'm sure the club will take on board your comments and design our 35th anniversary shirt in blue+amber for you next time, as well as letting you sit wherever you fancy as you get upset if you can't choose your exact seat.

Is that how you qualify for one of your "No entry to Quinns" New T Shirts?
Or is it part of your plans to develop a crowd or a financial account that points to a future.

Really good thinking Dave - you must be the guy organising the competitions that give out the free tickets that nobody uses. Keep up the good work.

And next time I will buy the seat next to you and I will supply the red tape, the steward and if i bring a few friends - the crowd.

Righto. I'm relieved that the other Leeds fans I know aren't as dense as you. See you next year then

look forward to sharing a pint with you. After that beware Leigh and Widnes.

You share pints? Tight git

YORKSHIRE!

a) most Quins fans probably regard the chosen design as a classic.

b) it's priced at £35, which is £7.50 less than the current Leeds replicas which are no doubt manufactured in much larger quanitites, thereby giving economies of scale. Make it any cheaper than that and the quality will suffer and we'll end up with a cheap looking polo shirt that doesn't look very "classic", not a proper rugby shirt.

What he said!!

I will be e-mailing your club when i get home tonight but just to quickly say a big, big thankyou to your club for making my mums and my GF's day so enjoyable. My mum and GF were in wheelchairs on saturday and the lengths people went to help us out was frankly amazing. Both were made very comfortable in the LV stand and were well looked after by the steward in there.

Decent hike for a pint though

Thats great news-All we hear about on here is how the club failed at everything.

.......Even the angle the sun shines at!!

I suspect a lot of the minor problems would be ignored if the club managed to win a majority of their home games and had an assured future. A lot of Quins fans, me included, have a bit in their psyche that if the club does not get it right soon, we may not have a SL club to moan about! A lot of good work goes on that you don't get Up North but as most of our fans have never been to an away game this is lost on them!

I think this sums up how I started this thread. [uQuinns is a must away fixture[/u. All I have been trying to add to this is the concept of market targetting of away fans. Mr Listers directive to stay away shows how hard this may well be. But good luck anyway and despite his polite request I will continue to visit with both friends and family.

Sincere best wishes for the future.

Not an issue in the LV stand.



As you say though, good news.

Don't worry Mr Lister is a bear we all have to cross!
