4th column from left is home and away average for all years since the SL war.



2011 home and away average to date is 17,210. Highest in the table.



Regardless of your agenda, crowds are good to excellent since the SL war and unlike every other sport in Australia are on a consistent upward trend.



Regarding Quins, read the O'Hare article.

Gutterfax if you feel so strongly why not get all 12 quins fans to email the club ask them to give 3-4k tickets away at schools get kids to see a game?



You will lose money on the gates but make it from food,drink etc...



Your fighting a losing battle down there do something soon or quit

WTF?



You are a fool.



You have no idea about Melbourne and RL in Australia (or anywhere for that matter) at all.



Marketers dream





NSWRL and ARL didn't want expansion





News Limited was behind the cap rorting





Yet they didn't do it for Canberra when they owned them or Nth QLD and the Broncos.









The crowds at Olympic park were capped at a certain level and it was and is the worse stadium in the country, the Storm move out, and their crowds stay the same. But it's alright, according to you, last years cap rorting was a Marketers Dream.

You're happy to sit back and say everyone else involved in the club who has pumped money in is f**king clueless, and repeatedly claim the RFL has shafted London. You say the NFL didn't know the market it tried to break. You say Branson didn't know what he bought.



Yet you know exactly what should be done but aren't prepared to put your money where your mouth is and get paid for success? That's not a personal dig, it's pointing out you won't do what others who have put millions in.



You need to face the harsh reality that club RL has never succeeded in London as a spectator sport and sadly never will. It's not part of the sporting culture and there's no room for it to become so. No self confessed marketing guru will change that.



As long as David Hughes continues to bail the club out it will survive, but what happens once he's gone?

Sheffield will never beat Wigan in a big game. There'll never be a RL team in Bristol. Noone will ever beat Australia in the World Cup. These have all been said in the last 15 years. They were all as well.



Saying something will "never" happen is clueless. Some things may be hard. Some things may not have happened before, and some things may be unlikely. But to say something will never happen is just cobblers. It reveals more about the poster than about the situation he's commenting about.

Quins RL bring nothing to our sport other than usually providing a relatively simple 2 competition points to who ever play them.

So two recent Grand Finalists who have both played at the new Wembley, along with one recent play-off semi finalist and Challenge Cup finalist beaten is six points that were relatively simple for Quins RL to gain in 2011, the very antipathy of your joke.

Who said these things? What is revealed?

I see you have another alias then.
