Somehow I doubt the name has any impact on the crowd size.

You haven't got a name. Your avatar, Quins RL, AFAIK, was dropped. 'Harlequins Rugby League' was its replacement. This is so long that it is totally unusable, so it didn't get used by the press. 'Quins' did instead. Except Quins is well known to be the name of an existing rugby team. And so we have a sports team without a name of its own. And I am still scratching my head as to why so many interested and thoughtful posters can't see the issue here.

It's not the only problem but it is a big problem and it needs sorting.

They write it down all the time in the same way the government work for the people because they tell us they do.
Union would love it if our game was dead because then all the people who would want to play rugby would have one option.
It's the same as people in your line of work would love to see their competitors dead and buried.

What's wrong with helping out ?
Whats clueless about that?
Football as a whole is marketed better than rugby so using a football comparison is a weak argument.

So keep laughing Lister you smug old goat, you're no better than a flatcapper and if the quins go down i'll still have my team Warrington.
I want Quins to do well, i want them to be a big success i want to go down to the stoop or griffin park or anywhere in London to watch them because i enjoy the game but if they go im sorry but it wouldn't be the biggest event of my life.
What makes you such an expert?

I give up.

Wanted Marketing manager Apply Quins Rl. Salary 10% of every extra 1000 season tickets sold. 15% of tickets sold to non season ticket holders through the season(away tickets sold dont count)Bet someone out there would put the effort in then.

i agree
Arsenal are a big name too in London a bigger name than Quins but they wouldn't trade off that name either.
But Arsenal are a football team?
Well Quins are a Union team what's the difference ?

If i was an Spurs football supporter i wouldn't support an Arsenal RUGBY team because of the name. So there you go alienate Saracens London irish support straight away.
London Broncos were always the way forward if people thought that was a basketball team that was just down to the marketing but hey the crowds are down under the quins name so big success there then

But you have been saying Union hate League, so the name doesnt matter, by your assesment of their hatred Quins RL have alienated them just by existing.

Make your mind up either union fans will come and watch rugby league but under a name not associated with a rival union team or union hate league.
