Quote ="gutterfax"there are between 1,750 and 2,250 regular Quins RL supporters. Hosting a game in a stadium that holds 80,000 has to be one of the most idiotic ideas I have heard......even Magic weekend struggles to get 35k a day
That said, as it is so insane, I await the announcement on facebook with baited breath

So an event that Quins make no money from, give it all away is unlikely to create any media attention on its own. If we can't drum up 75,000 people to part with a few quid for a charity and in return get to enjoy a sports event at a top class venue then I really would have little in common with the rest of this country.
If I win the Euro Millions I'm going for it. At the minute I understand that the marketing would be blown on one event, and that it is not really within our financial means as a business.
I think the more realistic proposal would be for a Quins vs SL opposition and Army vs Navy double header. If the union lot can convince over 50,000 to watch their game, sure we can convince a quarter of that figure to support their branch of the forces at the Stoop. Service men and women, family and friends, all coming down to the Stoop to watch their service and watch a top flight sporting event. We may only get a few fans out of it, but as long as we get Sky to televise it, we would at least look as if the club has a few fans, keeping those up north off our backs for a while and maybe convincing a few armchair fans to come along, thinking maybe it is catching on in London, yeah I'll give it a go.
