Who told you there would be hordes of union supporters?

Why would you think that the majority of union supporters would want to watch league?

How many Quins RL supporters went to watch the union side before the change from Broncos and how many go now?

Unfortunately, the impetus was lost in the first season - in the first few home games - largely because the team was poor. I've been coming since then but most stopped. I'm sure if you check attendances from the first season at The Stoop to this season, they are lower.

If a no cost marketing exercise - using an established free database brings in more supporters it has achieved its purpose.

Regarding dual season ticket holders - I know about 10 (myself included) and probably 40 - 50 semi regular attendees dependant upon othe things going on, but it isn't their main sport.

I agree with you about the first season, had we beat St Helens on the opening day in front of ,what was it about 8,000?, and sustained that momentum who knows?My own feeling is that targeting a group that by and large hasn't gone for RL in a big way isn't going to make a lot of difference. I think the club has to use a number of strategies including locally (ie within a 5 mile radius), London wide and with RL clubs within the South/ Southeast. If Mark Evans can get a significant interest ie 400-500 minimum via this promotion then fair enough, but I just don't see it unfortunately.

Okay Mr Rob from Erith, what's your solution(s) then???

Here's a thought

Hire a big field/park

Get one of those little travelling Fairs on it

get stalls and competitions going

have a kids mini rugby tournament going

Get the whole team down there selling/promoting themselves and the club

advertise at least 3 months before the event

try and get the local rags down possibly even a BBC or SKY camera too

you get kids nagging to go then the parents are involved

Get Buck and Dusty doing the rounds

Get something going for the adults, the little kids and the the teenagers in one big open celebration

You are not a PR rep for a fairground company are You?

not at all


but do you want to buy a dog

Actually We have a 13 year old Yorkie free to a good home

Like your thinking. The only thing I would say is why hire a field when there is the Pitch beside the stoop that could accomodate a fair, or even the pitches at the back. Fair sets up on Thursday, runs Friday to Sunday night and coincides with a Sunday 3pm KO with beer festival, live band after the game, petting zoo, BBQ and a kids tag tourny.....and a "name" for the half time entertainment.

Doubt you would get TV or Radio down, but the local rags would be up for it.
One last thing......organise it for a fixture we have a chance of getting a result in. Avoid Saints and Leeds like the plague, because a newbie won't come back after a thumping.......

I have to say that for the forthcoming Union season I will have a RU season ticket as well.

Well done........but I draw a line at supporting Quins RU......London Irish is my team and always will be in the "other code". Many's the time I wish that we had become the "Exiles RL"........further to travel for home games, but I bet you £1 to £50 we'd have bigger crowds by now. Nothing Like a bit of ethnic minority marketing

So you go to Reading for your RU, I leave Reading for my RL

The club site have just announced that we are teaming up with EXP Sport regarding club sponsorship...........judging by their success record with the RU side this has to be a positive step for QRL....good stuff

This is very Good news, Even Listy might think this is a positive step

Yep. Lets hope something comes of it...

hi all

im new to the quins but find that their media and marketing leaves alot to be desired, and is what could used affectively to draw more ppl the the club

considering they are the only SL team in london you never see that point pushed or advertised

i cant always make the games and check the match report and action galleries but find that all you get is a rubbish picture of the score board and the action galleries havent been updated since the dancer from britains got talent appeared there.

do they or have they got rid of the club photographer if so remove the action galleries as it just looks like someone cant be bothered to update the site.

just believe they need to explore different avenues to bring more ppl in and do more for the ones they already have.

Mmmm.....are you new or are you just on a fishing expo?
I am sure the mods will let us know if your IP address appears on any other "id's"...
Anyway, giving you the benefit of the doubt, the site does appear to have been less attended recently, but the news feeds are still coming in. Photo's are the least of our troubles though TBH.

another Brain fart from me.

Quins RL want to draw some of the Quins RU support right ?

Im sure the Quins RU wouldn't mind nabbing a few Quins RL supporters too, right?

How do we get those stubborn sods that refuse to watch the other codes to watch each others games ?

It's obvious (end of season of course)

Quins RL v Quins RU

1 league match
1 union match

BATTLE OF THE CODES

market it to death around the area.

Would be good fun, it's a win win situation for the Quins money men

Whose end of season?

Game, Paddock.

ok so i don't get tripped up

Whenever it's reasonably appropriate to arrange such a fixture

Good idea and I think early in their season would be best. A true local derby(sorry skolars)

It would be a laugh but too gimmicky IMO. Don't think the Union lot would be bothered watching it.

Its not like they are short of supporters also tbh.

Whats going on with the South Stand btw? Are they actually building a half and half stand?

Yes
