We are lead to believe Quins are playing some decent stuff but they still are not pulling in the crowds. Yes it's Catalans on a Thursday night but it's not really good enough is it?
It's bizarre to be honest. The amateur game seems to be doing okay down there but the Quins seem to be dying rapidly. I can understand the Unionites deliberately staying away, I'd do the same if St Helens launched a Guiness Premiership franchise and played in the same kit. But I cannot fathom why they can't must 7 or 8,000 Australasians for the weekly social event that is 'the footy'? People will laugh and say crowds don't matter and that Saints aren't sufficiently attended but the fact is that Quins won't be able to operate with that low an income for very long. If League loses it's geographical dot in terms of the UK, Sky will laugh in our faces and knock a 0 off the next TV deal.

The reason that our crowds are bad is quite simple:
Lack of effort (probably due to lack of money or lack of effective management of money or both),
We now have a “general manager” whose stated number 1, 2, 3 priorities are to get more bums on seats. On the evidence so far, I'd hate to know what will happen to the 4th and 5th priorities.

SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!
