10:00 hrs and that's likely the nice thing a fellow Quin fan will call me all day!!

Roll on 10:30 when I can watch a "propa" RL game, played in a "propa" ground wiv a "propa" crowd in "propa" RL shirts curtoesy of Mr Virgin Telly.

Also, aren't the only people who know about this are people who already go on the Quins website? And so are people who will most likely be going anyway?

BTW, for all those who hated/were utterly indifferent to my 'Quins 13' name amendment suggestion, how about HarLEAGUEquins? Good for marketing if not for the official name, surely.

EASY THERE TIGER.........
If you can be bothered and let's face it, why would you, you can go back and read every post of mine regarding marketing. I never claim to know the solution to the problem, but I will always suggest ideas that may work. I am not part of any "clique" and the 50 or souls who post on here are after all, entitled to their opinion and to post it on a public forum.
As it is, the Club read these boards from time to time and I am sure they get depressed when I or anyone else (Listy) have a rant....but it should be remembered that we are just expressing our opinion.
As I have said, the footie jersey idea is a good one in principle and if is rolled out properly and managed effectively, should reap rewards in the long run.
Pointing out that I could, in theory, save myself £50 this weekend is just highlighting the need for a bit more thought......not slating the idea in total.

Work shy?

Yep, exactly what I posted and Lambeth Quin chose to ignore.



When are you going to stop with these bizzare and pointless suggestions?



"Hi mate, fancy coming to the Harleaguequins game?"
"

GF I think the initiative is aimed a people like you and I trying to encourage us to bring football loving mates with us- Incentive cheap entry-You of course had arranged to bring your friends before the idea was rolled out and therefore gain from it-
Others, me included may now bring friends in soccer shirts, who may enjoy it and come again.
Then of course there are the free runners- Im not sure how they get to know about it.

Wakey are doing the free entry for ladies verses Quins. Due to this offer Im now going-taking missus and daughter- not dressing up myself-although I might try a frock on and see if it is feasible!

I have read many of them :shocked: and I think you have made some great suggestions into helping the club move forward with creating a greater paying audience.

Say an independent organistaion such as a Supporters Trust existed and it had it's own finances, it could work in tandem with the club to do many of the things that you and others have suggested in recent times, without the club having to carry the burden on it's own.

Quins RL fans all have ideas and as I've said before all have a vested interest in helping the club remain in Superleague, so rather than be a bunch of know it all keyboard tappers who get frustrated when ideas aren't run with, as the Redskins would have once sang "Keep on keepin' on, yeah" and run with them ourselves?

No day off, so I can watch Dogs and Panthers as it "happens". Hope that's okay with you???

Judging by the e-mail recieved this morning from Rob Purdham which contains no mention of this offer, the inititative isn't being aimed at current supporters, just another cockup by the club. I hope hoardes of Leeds supporters turn up in football shirts now to really make whoever attempted to implement this reasonable idea look stupid.

Turns out someone has purchased tickets this morning for me this morning anyway, at full price, unaware of the price.

We're not jibbing our own club

Did he not have his Chelsea top on when he rang to book them?

Just had a cracking idea. Going to get a few football shirts together, "hire" them to supporters with no football shirt on queuing to purchase tickets, charge them £5 and saving them £5, have them collected by someone else inside the ground, passed back outside, repeat.

Easy money

Listy you are getting more like GF every day

Stick to the real ale

also, isnt this game getting pushed as being able to watch the Lions in the bar beforehand. a bit mixed messagy isn't it?

Sports-loving kids in London (ones who read the Metro and Sun sports pages every morning) I've talked to about this thought London Broncos just packed in. They see Quins, they think Union and there's nothing to disabuse them of this. The club has no profile because every time they do anything, most people assume it's to do with someone else. You wouldn;t have thought things could go backwards from the Broncos days but in this respect the anecdotal evidence suggests they have.

He didn't know there was a promotion on

Or perhaps trying to introduce some from the other code to the beautiful game by offering them "double bubble"????

and cheaper than the £10 the union lot are charging for the second test next week


£5 to all Union fans, the game on in the Kings and the Big SLY TV screen.....

Hope a seperate email is going out to all the Union Fans. I think if I lived near the stoop and they were showing England v Australia in the bar before a Union game I would definately go down for the atmosphere.

Nowt in the latest "Quinzine" from Harlequins FC for today, but apparantly their "lions gig" for 4 July is SOLD OUT.

[url=http://www.union.quins.co.uk/news/9926.phpmaybe we could blag this idea from our 15 man code "cousins"??[/url

I can't believe its their off season and they are already miles in front of us in terms of good ideas and initiatives. To do it for the league would be a far greater challenge too.

Sorry, but from my experience 'me too - follow the leader' never really works well when applied to marketing.

Regret we will have to develop our own and thus 'original' ideas ......... something that to date the Quins RL have been very poor at actioning.

To be quite frank there are loads of experienced and highly skilled marketing excutives among the current ever so small QRL fan base but to date the management has made little of that potential.

Even an invite to a informal Saturday morning 'brain storming' session with the Club management team & any outside consultants currently on board covering marketing/publicity/crowd building 'ideas' would contribute a valuable input for the club's management & working executives.

We had such sessions - with everyone working at the agency contributing - as a regular event, in particular when 'pitching' for new accounts, at everyone of the five outfits I worked at or managed in 35 years as a marketing consultant & agency director.

What utter tripe.

So the plethera of call centre's in the 80's & 90's wasn't following the leader then?

Nor the creation of the "Direct Marketing" industry and the use of "Direct Mail" to market your products to an audience??

In all walks of life, including the marketing industry there has been leaders and then the followers and to say there isn't, is absolute b*******.
