Don't forget your bib retard.

How would you know how great they are? - you claimed never to heard of them last season.

For me the main problem with London is they could never decide what they wanted to be and where they wanted to be it. Opportunities have come and gone and now they are back to square one, or even worse off than square one. its only an opinion but taking on the name harlequins has only produced positive results for one of the two rugby teams sharing that name. They no longer have a brand and if you talk about Harlequins in London then there is only one club people are thinking about.

Now you have what amounts to a side show for the union team with Decreasing crowds ( I may be wrong here ) and no real chance to sell the club to the city of london. The problem is that the club needs to do something and settle, but they cant have many chances left. Its all well and good saying we need a club in london, and i would agree with those sentiments. But what we need is a club in london that is easy to identify and can be sold to the public as a club in its own right. Look at what the crusaders have done, surely with a target audience of Millions something similar should not be out of the reach of a london club.

But as things stand they are failing in pretty much every department, And you can only get away with the " look at how many people are playing RL in London " excuse for so long. Its not as if Quins are the only people in the area setting down roots for the game.

So they have even lost to Salford!

Apparently Mcdermott has resigned(rumour)

Who's next? Who's your preference? I think Paul Cullen would be a great move or a top name Aussie?

You know you have problems when a side like salford beat you.

Mind you I did predict a Salford win today on another thread.....


Because they were playing Harlequins

When Barry was taking about the following...

No Fans
Seldom win a game
No big name players
Soul less zero atmosphere
What does your club bring to the table?

He was talking about Cronulla

What makes people think Barry McKenzie is an aussie?

Fantastic post. Unfortunately were you to post it on the Harlequins forum you would be denounced with words such as 'disloyal', 'pillock' etc by the fundamentalists who fiddle while Rome burns.

Lets be honest the Quins link up was a desperate measure at a desperate time. It hasn;t worked out as we had all hoped but you can;t blame them for grabbing a lifeline when its thrown to them. Don;t know where on earth they go from here. They need money and lots of it to really get a PR macchine in motion. We def benefit as a game from having a London team but the Quins may not be able to last much longer sadly.

Do we though? It clearly aint working and people talk of a poor away day experience.

And what poor away day experience is that. The Stoop is a nice ground. The bar is excellent. There's a band on after the match. Every away fan I've ever spoken to has had a good time.

He/she wouldn't really know. He/she is soccer fan that unfortunatly posts on the Fax board as well.

A band performs after the match?what,when most people are heading home?

When should they perform -during the match

2300 yesterday, just let the poor thing die RFL ffs.

No, in the bar before the post match presentations.

If that's the benchmark for letting things die, then leaving aside the whole argument about what exactly the conspiracy theorists think the RFL is doing to prop up Quins, you're going to need a big skip to carry away the corpses of Salford and every side in Championship and Championship One while you're at it.

One of the best away trips of the season

Really good craic and The Jam tribute band last year was fantastic

Roll on the 26 June

A warning for all: keep the flaming down to a dull roar or you risk your posting rights

Have you noticed how it's all gone quiet on the Crusaders front...

yes, thought so.
Unlucky Quins, you're up next.

simple fact is they aren;t going to be able to financially survive on crowds of less than 3,000. There income from gate takings alone is a million quid+ less than most clubs!

Given the RFL have announced someone is going to be relegated they are going to find it very very hard to justify kicking out anyone other than Quins if there on field performances continue matched with shocking crowds.

Might make for better entertainment.
I thought Curtism was referring to pre match entertainment,you know pre,as in beforehand.

I agreeJB, I was more having a punt re: Crusaders.
Thing is though, it's not all about Crowds and tbh using the 10 point system they'd still get a B grade I reckon.
I think people are barking up the wrong tree.
