| Quote ="wire-quin"Im not sure thats strictly true. I'm of the belief RU has a middle to upper class following. RL is a working mans game and attracts the "white van man" and what comes with that sort of person.(borne out of where its roots are)
RU is grown out of grammar schools etc and has been stated previously the average salary at Quins RU is £40k. It is a social scene rather than a thorough understanding of the sport scene-if that makes sense
There is a fundamental difference socially between the sports.
Whereas football crosses all social boundaries-or appears to.'"
So you sort of agree with what i've said, substitute north/south for class-same dog washed my friend.
So how do Quins break down this northern sport/working class image and get the posh buggers around the Stoop to watch them?

I don't know but its one of the real problems of London Broncos having re branded as Harlequins in lets face it a 'posh ' area. As well as being a union stronghold sadly RL is perceived as being for the hoi polloi, northern hoi poloi at that. While I think the club should plug away at developing a local (ie within 3-5 mile radius) fan base they also need to attract what I would describe as football fans looking for a summer sport, and do this by advertising /marketing all over London and the South. I'm sorry if some folks have been put off by the more down to earth and colourful language of some of our visitors, maybe regulars at Chelsea, Arsenal West Ham etc might not be! They will certainly find RL much better value ticketprice wise.

| Just shy of 4,000 at your place today - seems a pretty decent improvement to me for a match against Huddersfield.

| To much sun, worse stand in SL, poor ticketing, to many kids acts at half time, beer in plastic glasses, playing on Saturdays and now.....
BO- get on the phone to the CEO and tell him- He can add it the list of why people dont want to watch Quins. How will we ever get 10000 fans with smelly people there- arrest the stinker, get the environment agency involved. Lets go back to winter rugby where [isweaters dont sweat [/iand if the do they wear a coat to hold the smell in
We will eventually create the ultimate place to watch rugby with a superior race watching it.
You can see it in the Sun-
RL takes the lead again..........

| We can all find plenty to moan about this season, but BO!
We should enter the moan-athon. If we were top of the table there would be something wrong, still maybe all the criticism will propel the club to create a Shangri-la. I am more concerned at the morale of the players I hope we can dominate the Les Cats and put on a good show for those lovely Sky people. Once we get Saints out of the way we can get back to winning ways.

I am seen as in that category but have to say that a near 4000 was miles better than would have been expected and maybe its a step forward. You have to hope that a defeat does not stop those extras coming back.
Its a shame the team have faltered in front of the two biggest crowds of the season but lets hope there are able to come back for more

Yeah fine, looking forward to taking it to away matches tbh, it looks lost in the LV in many ways. Shame we can't get it in our stand somewhere. We will see.
I don't think it is going to France - i'm not at the next 2 games and Windy was the only one there to volunteer to take it on for a while seeing as he'll be at St Helens, and AFAIK, he isn't going to France either. Not 100% sure.

It looked good, perhaps better tied just to chairs lower (half way) down the stand?

Yep. We tied it to the chairs first off but it sagged down right in the middle. It was a bit of a rush job tbh, we only got over there at 2.45 and Windy one was the only one I could collar to assist
