Apologies if this has already been discussed, but has the club announced details of where the game v Warrington will be played next summer? The game in August was shamefully my first trip to the Stoop, and despite the scoreline we had a brilliant day out, right up there with my favourite away days. Looking forwards to more of the same next year!

No news yet re the OTR fixtures (will be lucky to hear anything until about May).

The bad news is that it's likely to be at Gillingham, Leyton or even Oxford



Mind you, could be worse...anyone remember the OTR game against Wire at Newport? (think it was Newport...all those Welsh villages look the same to me)



Spose I shouldn't be giving Gus any ideas.....

The rumour mill says it's Gillingham and Leyton Orient, but the club TBC.

I think we should be preparing for the Championship and suggest taking a game to Richmond Athletic Ground.

We had our best attendances at The Valley, SW London is a bastion of Union, and we all saw what happened when we tried to piggy-back on Quins id!

Personally I've always thought Public Transport to be a major failing, we need to be as close to the Tube or a "convenient" NR Station as is possible.

How do Quins RU get +10k then wiv the Stoop being miles off the beaten track

Very selective use of data to make your point there. In SL1, you are correct we had our best average attendance (5699) at the Valley, the next best was at The Stoop in SL2 (5125). Both locations have seen much worse averages since. Do you think that makes for bad locations or is the club doing something wrong ?

Horse back and range rover to carry their hampers so they can get over the long journey and have a feast

I can recall 'OTR' games in Wales (twice), Edinburgh and even Perpignan, so Oxford would be a doddle, I would prefer no OTR games but Oxford has some attractions and we would be helping a new RL community. The club need to be honest as regards their long term ground intentions, if they have got that far in their thinking, or are they hoping for something to turn up?

Why help a "new RL community" when London Super League seems in terminal decline? Whatever energy the club has needs expending HERE and NOW

Spot on Sir.

selective at best...season 1 yes, seasons 5 and 6 no....Brentford was better on average.



SW London is no more a bastion of Union than Wembley is a soccer stronghold......It's where they happen to have a national Union stadium.



Yeah....we averaged just over 3,500 as Quins RL.....the only home we did better at was Brentford....west London...3 miles ftom Twickenham stadium!



Harlequins RU have gone from 3k to 14k gates in 8 years.........they know what they are doing...the management and owner of the Broncos don't!

Judging by the total beer mat concepts you've posted above, I reckon you're Gus......where's my fiver

Posters in Train stations, flowers on roundabouts is the answer.

They are in the 20 point business model

Sorry but Quins RU have used the station idea.They must have seen it on the wall.

I don't care where they saw it......tell me you wouldn't kill for their averages

The RFU have got in on the act too.

In their defence perhaps the club are keeping their powder dry for Chatham railway station.

As an outsider, it seemed to me that Twickenham is a poor location for you, the locals will always associate themselves with union, and it just looks like you are the poorer cousin. As London goes it is a bit of a ballache to get to, surely there are stadiums in London with much better public transport links. We always here about how many antipodeans there are in London, sounds like you could do more to get them in, maybe by opening early to show the NRL etc. I don't really see what taking the London brand outside of the city will achieve, it is like a Mancunian team taking home games to Liverpool.

It takes less than ten minutes to reach the stadium on foot from a station directly linked to the busiest station in the UK and probably the busiest station in London. I can't think of many grounds in Super League that has better transport links than us. In fact I can't think of any.

The Halliwell Jones is a ten minute walk from the West Coast mainline, 2 minutes walk from the transpennine line, 2 minute walk from the bus station, bus services from Wigan and St Helens stop outside and it less than a five minutes drive from both the M6 and M62.

If transport links were so good you wouldn't be struggling so much. Surely a stadium close to a tube station would be better, as people can use their Oyster Cards.

Has the Fulham/Crusaders/Harlequins/Broncos adventure failed? I have to say, if I lived in London I would be far more inclined to lend my support to the Skolars.

Sorry, forgot about Warrington. Transport links have absolutely nothing to do with it. As many have pointed out, our landlords somehow pack their ground out every other week and they seem to get decent crowds across the road. People can use their oyster cards to get to Twickenham too, its in Zone 5. You can usually avoid paying too as the gates are normally open.

Skolars? If you think transport links are bad for us then you would be disgusted with theirs. Rough area of North London that takes ages to get to on the Northern Line and then you can either walk 25 minutes or get a bus of some description I guess. That is to watch a pretty poor standard of Rugby infront of a handful of supporters at a poor stadium. each to their own.

Rubbish its 20 mins train ride from Waterloo. Great stadium and location.

Folks who don't get to London often probably think that the tube is the way to get around, but London area residents are generally well aware of the other options. Many thousands travel daily on trains, buses and whatever else.

You make it sound like people from Warrington/Hull aren't an expert on London transport and/or our problems.
