WTF?
So you find it acceptable that the Stoop was untouched by any form of cleaning team after their game on the 13th, even though their "partners" were having an event the following day?

Sorry, but that incident (along with others) shows a total lack of respect being shown to the League side of the Club by the Union lot.

Pitch inspection is now at 4pm tomorrow according to the chap I just spoke to at the club.

I see the Bradford game's off. Did anyone on here go and volunteer then? Good effort by those that did.

[url=http://www.sotic.co.uk/eng/452.phpI REST MY CASE[/url............we are an add on.....They wax on about the iconic name...blah blah blah, but nothing about the Rugby League side of things.
New Logo, new jersey, same old Rugby League........
Can't speak for Code 13, but I am sure we could have had our OWN site just as quickly as Sotic delivered the Union one.

Don't see taht you have a case to rest - I just think youe are being sensitive about having to clear up before the Xmas open day.

"Harlequins FC, who play in the distinctive quartered shirt have turned to Sotic to provide them with the latest generation of on line services. After a period of review during the summer Harlequins selected Sotic to undertake a complete rebuild of their online presence, including websites for Harlequins Rugby Union, Harlequins Rugby League and their Online Shops. The Rugby Union and shop sites were launched last week, with the Rugby League site following prior to the next Super League season."

I think we get a fairly equal mention above.

typed a monster reply.....but I am just to tired and pi55ed off to post it.
As regards those rose coloured spectacles you are weraing......specsavers springs to mind


Why do you think the RFL have marketed the Manly game......more so than we have marketed anything over the last 3 years? Might it be they feel the same way as me?

If you've typed it - post it. I really don't see (specsavers or not) what the problem is. If you have only just realised that Quins RU is much bigger than Quins RL and are pulling the strings then I don't know what you expected.

I have expected too much from this "partnership" and as such, feel let down by the false promises of "joint" areas of operation. You only had to see the reaction of one very hard working member of staff by the end of the Festive day to understand the amount of work being "un-shared" with our bigger brothers. And, this is my point....IF they want it to work and IF they want an additional revenue stream, then THEY have to help us.
I can't say for sure, but there is a certain attitude bordering on arrogance eminating from Quins RU as they are self sufficient and have done really well.....but I also get the impression that Mr Evans is looking at the bigger picture and thus the rumoured Joint CEO path.
I just get a little (

) miffed when some people think all is rosey in the TW2 garden, when it isn't or even worse, we feel the need to accept out lot and know our place

.
Plus, I am getting nervous regarding how much beer I will have to buy you

Looking forward to the beers mate. I realise everything isn't rosy and life ain't perfect and the club needs all the help it can get which is why I have volunteered to help when I can.

I notice you have used the plural....as in beer(s).....remind me again what the ammended target was?

I reckon the manly crowd will be very close to the Pies season opener last season. Anyone fancy a wager

Have you got some inside info on how sales are going. I reckon 4,000 will be about right. Im not totally convinced about the willingness of large numbers of ozzie temporary residents to get down to watch Manly. My own experience of trying to persuade them has left me a bit of a sceptic

No but I just have a hunch

From 10K to 7K

Yes I would like a wager. It will be nowhere near. Let me know details tomorrow.

More or less then?
Im guessing you mean less?

I'll take that and look forward to you paying up, you complete joker

I'd take a punt on less, preferably on a spread bet basis.

Come on Windy one, i'm waiting

Ok then I will give You £10 every thousand below 8,000. if the club gets 8k i expect a few beers off You. So 5,000 I owe You £30.

I'm a converted Aussie.

In my honest opinion, if the ground was closer to town (SW London postcodes, near tube) I think we would see a lot more Aussies coming to games. My biggest trouble getting mates out to the games is that they claim that its too far to go.

Pity that the cheap season ticket was scrapped, 5 mates and I were going to commit if they were still around. Travelling as much as we do on weekends makes it hard to commit to a season ticket, now we will pick and chose games throughout the year.

I think Superleague is a poor cousin of the NRL as do all my Aussie mates, but i need my rugby league fix and harlequins are now my adopted team. Lets hope the Manly game can convince a few more. Will the club have a stand and information regrarding season tickets, or perhaps a multi ticket offer available at the Manly game to entice the new fans to return?

I should bloody well hope so.

Deal.

OK listy bet is on.

Yeah we are, but once you settle in London you are used to having everything at your finger tips. If its outside zone 2, its too far to travel is the opinion of most of the expats I know.
