Wind your neck in knob end, what 'usual violence' does this consist of?? Shite that made up in your pathetic little head most likely..

| Quote ="Redchemic"Scousers
.
I must have been looking the wrong way in the hundreds, maybe thousands of times I have watched rugby at the Halton Stadium/Naughton Park.
Sure there has been trouble, mainly when we play Wire and the goons crawl out of the woodwork and the odd squabble between individuals who get excitable but the place isn't exactly a burning cauldron of violence.
Don't try to dream up a non existant issue if your booty is getting twitchy.
If there is always violence there when you attend, then maybe there is one common denominator.
HTH.'"
Strange how a supposed hot bed of violence is a good enough temporary home for the likes of Wigan and Saints and is also good enough to host internationals and major cup semi finals....

It's not as bad as some would have you believe but I've seen plenty of trouble when visiting Widnes. Our windscreen got broke while we were driving back as some cretin scouser smacked it a few years back. Me mum also got threatened on a different occasion.
It happens everywhere, but to claim Widnes is somehow innocent because a semi final is played there is a bit ridiculous

Perhaps they didn't realise that a bandwagon had a windscreen.

| The facts are simple.
No one goes to watch Harlequins RL.
England is a small place, but it seems to take forever to actually get anywhere. If hardly any 'home' fans go along then why would any 'away' fans bother?
Harlequins are haemorraging money, they have no fans, they seldom win a game, the 'Moon' is a soul less place to visit because there is zero atmosphere and no one there. They have a 'coach' who can't coach, no big name players. You cant buy a replica kit even if you wanted to.
All I know about Widnes is that it's located near other Superleague clubs and the fans actually seem to care about their club.
From what I recall they raised funds to enable their club to get David Peachy over to play for them. How many London fans would have the cojones to do something like that???
London hasn't worked as a Rugby league entity since its conception back in the 1980s. It wont work.
It's time for them to go.

So what part of my post did you disagree with?
The 'No fans' bit?
The 'Seldom win a game' bit?
The 'Coach who can't coach' bit?
The 'No big name players' bit?
The 'soul less zero atmosphere ground commonly known as the Moon amongst Aussies in London' bit?
What precisely does your club bring to the table?
Seriously?

My club? What are you talking about? Harlequins isn't my club.
It's like conversing with a four year old.

Then why not trot off and comment on a club that you do know something about instead.
Halifax??
They're great aren't they
Remind me again what league they play in?

As I'm sure you aren't quite as stupid as you seem to come over on this board I will give you one final chance to explain what part of my post is a 'Bell end' post (quote)
Here it is

So what part of my post had got nothing to do with Rugby League?
If you want to resort to peurile insults, no wuckers. People who have no comeback and realise they perhaps should have stuck to commenting on teams who play outside of Superleague tend to do that.
<-- this is me 'owning' you. Again.
Anyhoo I would love to hang around and own you a little more, but I'm off to the Walkabout for dinner.
Hooroo

| For me the main problem with London is they could never decide what they wanted to be and where they wanted to be it. Opportunities have come and gone and now they are back to square one, or even worse off than square one. its only an opinion but taking on the name harlequins has only produced positive results for one of the two rugby teams sharing that name. They no longer have a brand and if you talk about Harlequins in London then there is only one club people are thinking about.
Now you have what amounts to a side show for the union team with Decreasing crowds ( I may be wrong here ) and no real chance to sell the club to the city of london. The problem is that the club needs to do something and settle, but they cant have many chances left. Its all well and good saying we need a club in london, and i would agree with those sentiments. But what we need is a club in london that is easy to identify and can be sold to the public as a club in its own right. Look at what the crusaders have done, surely with a target audience of Millions something similar should not be out of the reach of a london club.
But as things stand they are failing in pretty much every department, And you can only get away with the " look at how many people are playing RL in London " excuse for so long. Its not as if Quins are the only people in the area setting down roots for the game.

| When Barry was taking about the following...
No Fans
Seldom win a game
No big name players
Soul less zero atmosphere
What does your club bring to the table?
He was talking about Cronulla

Fantastic post. Unfortunately were you to post it on the Harlequins forum you would be denounced with words such as 'disloyal', 'pillock' etc by the fundamentalists who fiddle while Rome burns.
