I'm gunna agree with Listy



Quins HAVE to get a franchise spot in 2012 and one of the criteria the club need to meet is attendances, ok saying "We have a X% increase from 2008 to 2012" will look good but saying that we are attracting youngsters isn't so good, the club need to attract as many people to the club as physically possible until that time, and as I have said elsewhere the "Harlequins" brand isn't helping the introduction of new fans.

it needs a few league jerseys on the walls,ceilng though

I got no problem with it being a dyed in wool union pub. Its been so since lord knows when and has close ties with the local clubs with regulars including Jason Leonard - he had his kids birthday party in there iirc.
It is right in the centre of the games heartland after all. good to having something that doesnt bow to football tbh

Clearly, the lot of you are 'newbies'. The landlord of The Sun used to be a regular and match day sponsor when the Fulham lot played at the 'Poly' ground by Chiswick Bridge. After the ground bar closed at 6.30pm loads of us used to 'trot' across vthe river and continue - with most of the players - at The Sun till closing time.

As for the establishment by Acton Central......forget it. It would be better to do something with the Redback even though they run a strong Oz Rules team!!

'still' 'has' 'nothing' 'to' 'do' 'with' 'it' 'being' 'a' 'traditional' 'union' 'pub'
