Hi guys - thought it was about time I joined up to this (I read it enough!)
My name is Simon Fitzjohn, and as you may/may not know I cover Quins for the Richmond & Twickenham Times (with the odd piece in the match programme and stints helping out with Radio London).

Anyways - since the start of this season I have been pushing my editor etc for increased Quins RL coverage, both in the paper and our website. We now have usually two pieces in the paper each week (Mac & a player), and we now source pics from all games - home and away.
These reports also go on the website earlier in the week, and this is where the problem comes in.
As of yet this season NONE of the Quins pieces I have written have troubled our top ten 'most read' chart on the website, and that is usually seen as the barometer for whether to increase coverage. (FYI a story needs about 200 reads to get into the top ten)

My plea is thus: Can any Quins fans that would like to see the profile build PLEASE go to our website and look at our stories (for example yesterday I put a piece with Chad Randall talking about Jamie O'C)

The website is www.yourlocalguardian.co.uk - click on sport, then other sport, then rugby league and hey presto.
The more reads we get, the more I can write and who knows they may even give rugby league its own section!

I will come on here and post whenever I have added a new story - if you can follow the instructions I have given above rather than a link it will register as a new read and we can get the ball rolling.

I want this to succeed as much as you guys, but I can't do it without you!


Hope to catch up with you sometime,

Simon

Right then my keyboard warrior friends.........let's see what you are made (maid in some cases) of.

Links to new stories here would be good.

Very good.

Right then down to us to get him to the ten 10

.

Some good articles there to read, good to see that the players and not only Mac rates some of our local kids that are coming though.

Thanks, Simon.

Really enjoyed the articles and have added your website to my favourites.

OK guys - just spoke to Mac and added this story about cup game. Please click and let's get it into the top 10! (btw figures are taken over a 12-hour period, so we need a 'blitz' rather than people checking over a length of time!!) www.yourlocalguardian.co.uk/spor ... _cup_test/ Cheers, Simon

How can we compete with 'gay man accused of setting ex on fire' and 'house prices highest in south-west london'?

Bloody yuppies.

I wonder if they can put a link to the papers web paper on the main QuinsRL site, as im sure a lot of people look at that site who dont know about this forum. I think other Club sites do it.

thanks simon your on my favourites

I have sent links to the club and asked for them to be entered on the web page and also printed in the programme. If all the people on here hit it regular enough and we reach top ten then it is great advertising for the club

No yellow jersey in RL and we're not like Seb Coe (well, that's a relief) Like the man says, follow the links from here: www.yourlocalguardian.co.uk/sport/ At least we're ahead of bowls.
