Poorlytoe, you are the ultimate 'selective' stactician.

You are even dimmer than I thought - I talked averages in terms of attendances with some examples of where you can isolate independently how many real fans you had (i.e. v London, when practically no oppo fans turned up)

AND - minus 765 means that your oppositions scored 765 points more than you scored over the whole season.

That's not selective, it's a season average....get it?

Which do you think there are more of ?

1) thick northeners
2) southern jessies

On account of the fact that the name Jessie is of Northern origin (scottish actually, it's still north) It should be safe to assume that Thick Northerners and Northern Jessies are equal in quantity!!

Seriously fella as one northerner to another, you need to get yourself out more.

Here's a thought


lets have friendly banter but help each other out instead of fighting

Leigh Widnes etc why attack Quins it's the RFL that makes all the decisions that you don't agree with. So be a bit more supportive of the smaller clubs of which we all are really.

I mean we should all be helping each other out but all we end up doing is bicker and infight

Saints Wigan and Leeds have the biggest crowds yet even they are comparable to a 3rd tier football side.

What our game needs is a big marketing overall. Get someone in that knows what they are doing

Ah, my little anti-expansionist monkey.

Let me tell you a quick ditty about expansionism - we live in a world of constant globalisation. And whomsoever doesn't embrace it, dies.

It's a sensitive thing to mention on the Quins board given recent events, but Sky are the biggest single benefactor of the sport. Like it or not, TV revenues drive the top sport in this day and age, look at RU, Football, Cricket, Tennis and the like.

Any sport that contracts and withers up it's own a*se faces extinction. Sky will pay less and less for a sport that can only offer competition in a narrow corridor of the country. The more global the exposure, theoretically the larger the catchment, the bigger the advertising revenue that can be generated and subsequently the larger slice of the pie the sport can ask for and give to the clubs.

So, if instead of wimpering about having yet another SL club inside a 30 mile radius, get behind the expansion clubs and give them your support - they face a hard enough task anyway!

Rugby League deserves to be much popular than it is overall, not just Quins, in National League 1 (the 3rd division)very few crowds are above a 1000.
At Leigh this season, only Widnes have brought more than a 100 fans.
But it's £14 to watch Leigh in a league where there's no promotion, and we have only had 3 crowds above 2000. Haliax who play great rugby, and hardly lose, the crowds 'hover' round the 2k mark.
Only Widnes have a truly great fan base in the lower leagues. Nothing against 'expansion' clubs personally, but there doesn't seem that much genuine interest, but if you 'put' them in Super League, it would increase obviously. Even though say, 5000 is a lot more than 2245, is that a brilliant crowd anyway.
