I think our only option is to persist with them at Quins. The worst thing would be to move them again.


Which is why they had an automatic franchise, despite denials from high.

There is very little in the city with the closest probably in zone 3 still some way out.

So a stadium in the north west of london would be a more sensible option.

but there are non


copthall?
underhill?
or what about some of the rugby grounds around sudbury that were abandoned for soccer stadiums?

i live literally 2 minutes from underhill it's more North East
but at least it's on the underground network
but it's still far out of london (Zone 5)






It's been fun.

The Stoop is very easy to get to, by car or rail. From anywhere. And traffic is very rarely a problem. So that's rubbish. Also 2500k for a thurs night game and no away fans? I wasnt that disappointed compared to recent attendances although it clearly needs improving.

What about Wembley? Just get yourself to the Stoop for Quins home games and support your local pro RL team. It takes max. an hour from Barnet if you go round the M25. I live north of Hemel and I do it in 50 mins by car and 1.5hrs by train.

yes. 25 miles is local everywhere else but in the minds of British people. And its way more than 25 miles if you go round the M25. Its 40 miles each way for me, and ive never found it a problem. There's about 15 lanes round by Heathrow now! 8)

Crowds are not the only measure of success. Quis have a good team and loads of development is going on their. Maybe not many are going but at least with its presence people know our game exists in london therefore its profile is better for it.

One thing is sure, crowds wont increase if they are removed from SL.

I might be wrong but I seem to recall Quins RU crowds were poor 10 or so years ago? Apologies if im wrong their but thats my recollection? So were Huddersfields. The kids who have started playing in London are the next generation of fans but as of yet they are not the ones who decide if they can go.

But a lot of our fan base isn't even based locally!

I and many others travel from Reading, we've got some from Slough, Bracknell, Oxford....the list goes on.

We're just Rugby League fans in the south and we support our local team. Maybe we could tempt some more exiles to come regularly and convert them :)
