Quote ="gutterfax".......I believe that there is a culture at the club that is starting to believe that it is impossible to attract new fans to the game.......this will have come from years of doing nothing and comparing last years marketing spend against the number of new fans it attracted (56 less than 2009).
PB stated he wanted to change the culture he found at Quins RL when he arrived.....as far as I can see all he did was remove the commercial mangager who sold 1 box over a season and replaced him with a marketing person who has managed to waste money on various stupid ploys
Hard work is the key to anything working....putting in long hours, working weekends if needed, getting the volunteers back on board, leaflet drops,...all stuff that costs nothing other than a commitment to making the club work. As it is, I expect to see a massive increase in gates over the first 2 months of the 2011 season or a vacancy in the back office........that's if PB doesn't nick her first

Do you know what the real crowds were for 2010 as i know that they were nowhere near what they claimed season tickets were only around 800 and for some matches as many as 1000 were added onto the crowd figures the Dragons match being one!!!!!!!!!!
I think you are right in what you say there is a culture at the Quins of just accepting the situation for what it is the whole office needs a total clear out and they need to get some serious marketing people in i stated before there are 2 people in France who i think could do the job if anyone at the Quins had half a brain they would know who to contact!!!!!!!!!!
