When I said move on, I meant in the name change sense - however I've never been a fan of the Stoop because it lacks atmosphere in comparison with Brentford and is in an area ambivalent to RL (very few locals watch and IMO will ever watch Quins RL).

Talking about losing fans - I know quite a few who stopped going immediately after the name change to Quins. The Welsh posse are an excellent example. I also have not seen Louise and Steve since the name change - formerly very staunch well known vocal London RL fans.

Crowds are less than they were at Griffin Park, but have been pumped up recently by ticket giveaways. Nevertheless I think the club did pick up a few new fans since moving to the Stoop. Hopefully some old fans will come back after the Quins moniker is ditched

Anyone who thinks a name change won't make a difference is deluded and probably a "Quins" brand lover anyway. It will make a HUGE difference. The Quins brand offered nothing for the RL club. It doesn't even have a civic link which is more important for RL clubs than RU clubs

Of course that will make a difference, but it has been decided that there will be a change of name and it is time we all moved on, it is your opinion that it is pointless but then I an nearly 2,000 others who responded do not agree, for the good of the club lets move on and all accept it, I would have if a majority had decided they wanted to stay as quins.

Think the argument has been done to death, but for me it's an almost sad decision if we do end up going back the LB "brand"..................it was what it was at a period in time when it meant something to those who were involved with it & in the places and conditions that were prevelant at that time. Looking back is not the right way to move forward IMO.

The name change in of itself will mean nothing if not supported like any brand is required to be, but chosing a new name would, if it has to be done, make far more sense to me than going back to LB, however much I/we loved it at that time.

Hughseys number plate is L13 RLC

'Cos next season half the team will be ex-Manley. Nothing wrong with that providing they can play a bit, and besides, anythings better than going back to 'Broncos'.

I liked it because I lived across the road from it.....short stagger to the Griffin post game and an equally short crawl home at closing time


As for a few games where both sides were full...of the games we played at GP, only 6 were above 5k attendance.....so I would suspect these are the games you refer to. 6 out of 56.......rose tinted glasses and whistful memories I suspect.


It was a bucket per half for me........
