Sorry but have to ask the question
Why does this game not get a mention on text on BBC or ITV!!?

If its that important to the promotion of the game I would have thought it would at least rate against Wath Brow v Ince Rose result!!!

Seems like a waisted opportunity to me, and we are the only ones that will suffer when the crowd is not as good as we expect, not to mention Bradford game that got postponed due to rescheduled date

Micky, see my post half way down here:
http://forums.rlfans.com/viewtopic.php? ... 4&start=60

ITV and BBC cover what they choose to cover on Teletext, noone dictates to them. It's a FRIENDLY and it's had coverage all over the place (google Harlequins and Manly and see how many hits) See the bigger picture. You'll have a much bigger than average crowd of purely London dwelling individuals today, if the estimates on here are anything to go by. And much, much more than you would have had against Bradford (you had 2,534 last season, see http://www.slstats.org/t12/Harlequins%2 ... mmary.html).

Are you seriously saying to me that people will come to watch this game in droves because they glanced it was on on text?

The club needs to bombard the PA with stuff. It'll get more national and London coverage that way.

An hour ago the BBC text didn't even have a summary of the Wire game.

I look at it every day but my expectations are always low - its pants!!

It's a friendly game and although it means a great deal to the London Rugby League community it doesn't mean much to anyone else. I'm not surprised that the game hasn't been highlighted by the media as it is just a friendly.

A slightly different angle on marketing at the ground today.

You have two merchandice shops as you enter the ground, one on the left, one on the right. You also have two sets of turnstiles as you enter the ground, one on the left, one on the right. Can anybody see the logic of having the turnstiles on the right open, but the shop on the right closed, whereas the shop on the left was open. As people come through the gate, you should be channelling them that way, they should be able to see the goods on display, not go looking for the things

the shop thing I agree with seemed a bit daft to me
on a plus point I do have to say the range of merchandise with Quins Rugby league on has improved dramatically pretty impressed on that front
