I live in Barnet just a simple bus ride from the Skolars on the 184, Quins is an altogether different prospect, my financial support petered off mid way through this season, just not prepared to dedicate all the time i did and pay any amount to watch soulless, 5 drives and a kick rugby.
Being a neutral affords me my fickle nature, not to bothered about seeing them win, just want to see them play good rugby.

Rename the club

relocate to Loftus Rd

Get some decent sponsors (including the Walkabout)

Get some players Antips have actually heard of


Job done



Wont affect me....I wont be in London by then.


but thats what Quins need to survive.

By Antips you mean Kiwis, don't need the Aussies, the bars have enough workers as it is

That's right.

Except stop calling us that, it's childish, doesn't make sense + is ridiculously hypocritical.

I would suggest you don't bite mate....I am sorely tempted to build you a club crest to go with it

Please dont say its hard to get to the Stoop. Ive been doing it from the home counties for every home game. There are very regular 20 minute trains from Waterloo to Twickenham, and its a 10 min walk the other end. By car its 10 mins off the M3 coming from the M25. Any RL fan in the London area saying they dont come because its 'hard to get to' is a liar.

Agree 100%, but it is the main reason rolled out on these boards as to why ANZACS don't come to games.....

So why don't London folk go?

OUTSTANDING WORK BAZZA...OUTSTANDING

Barry McKenzie thinks that is an appauling effort (if he's an honest bloke).

Outstanding if Bazza's about 8 years old.

Pretty ordinary wasn't it.


2 Years at Art college wasted

Hey it was a nice try though, you had a go eh.

Trying to draw letters curving upwards and sidewards using an ordinary mouse (with a ball clogged up with bicky crumbs) using Microsoft paint was never going to be easy... even for a legend like Barry McKenzie

unlike your youth development department

Have a go when you next finish above us in the league.

Been down in Sutton , Surrey today ( first time darn sarf for a job in over ten years ) doing a survey , customers was saying that in his words " RL was becoming very popular down there " , albeit as a summer months ' fill in '

His son had recently been to oz and was amazed that league was so big ' down under ' , I was explaining how in NZ it was the opposite

Although it is a bit of a P in the A to get to Twickenham 'The Moon' Stoop from the Hammersmith/She Bu/ Willesden/Harlesden areas of London the main reasons Barry McKenzie never attended a Harlequins RL game were;

1. The team were very poor.

2. No one ever turned up and there was no atmosphere (hence 'The Moon' comment)

3. Harlequins have never had any half decent Aussies that any Antips would want to come and watch since the days of Jimmy Dymock and Dennis Moran when the club was the Broncos.

4. They don't sell VB.

5. I've never heard of any of the players.

6. 80 mins watching Quins RL would be 80 mins of my life I would never get back again.

7. The replica kit is foul and it would induce Glaucoma into anyone foolish enough to part with £45 for a jumper.


If these 7 points were addressed I would deffo have gone along.

Sadly I wont be here in sunny London next year to go along even if I wanted to... but even if I was... I wouldnt.

And I dont know anyone else who would either

Oh and why pay £15 or £20 or whatever Quins charge to see a game on a Sunday arvo when I could use that same amount of money as a kick start to getting rotten down the Reddie, the Church or the Walkie?


The motto of Aussies in london is 'Here for a good time not a long time'

I could just sit and stare at this photo for 80 mins instead of watching Quins RL.



Whilst drinking warm beer and poking myself in both eyes with a stick

according to Lister we're not wanted, unless our opinions (on everything) match his?

They don't come because aside from a few notable exceptions they're not just not that into RL beyond whatever club the support back home, same is true of many fans from M62 belt.

Listy disagrees with everyone, he could cause an argument in an empty house. If you're around get yourself a season ticket, a great think about Quins is we know we're crap and we know loads of people hate us because we're not the neighbouring pit village, so the only way is up. Expect the worst, and then you can only be pleasantly surprised.

'We know we're crap'

'Expect the worst and then you can only be pleasantly surprised'



Nice work.

I imagine he will be buying a season ticket first thing in the morning with a recommendation like that
