Wakefield Home Game 17.05.09 : Mon Apr 20, 2009 4:34 pm  

There is a long while till Quins' next home game so that gives QRL fans a fair bit of time to help the club.

A lot of you moan about the clubs attendances and how the home fans aren't treated fairly so instead of having a moan (like we do) why don't you get behind YOUR team and shut up those moaning from up the M62?

Why not see if you can introduce a new friend to the wonderful sport of Rugby League?

Why doesn't someone buy a drum so the L&L boys & girls can be heard?

A meet-up before the game?

These are just a few ideas, feel free to add because I am becoming increasingly annoyed about the negative threads on here.

I took someone to their first game yesterday and they loved the whole day, he has told some others about what a great day it is and we are going to try to bring some more along to the wakey game, we should at least bring one more with us, plus my brother will be able to make it again so we should have at least 4 compared to our normal 2 and will hopefully add some more to that between now and then.

It was suggested on here "bring a friend" for the catalans game, hopefully some did but still the turnout was not massive, so now we have a few weeks to convince some first timers to come along to the wakey game, so I agree with you BF lets give it a go.

Lots of us have introduced people to RL by bringing mates/family along to Quins. I've brought people to four home matches this season, offering them a first taste of the game.

As for the drum idea - last season either Buck or Dusty had a big bass drum strapped to them - if that's still around we could use that.

Frankly drums are bloody irritating, especially in the hands of people who can't play them properly. I don't see that it adds anything at all.

I suspect the Wire fans may disagree.

How will that make any difference to northerners moaning? Lock it.

Well no-one forces you to browse these pages. If you think we're just looking for an excuse for something to moan about you're an idiot. The vast majority of the concerns raised on here are valid and we're all worried about the fact we seem to be losing fans rather than gaining them.

What a ridiculous thread.

Drums add a lot to the atmosphere, but some peeps do find them annoying (I find those peeps annoying) Someone in LL should have one, and with Paddock on trumpet i reckon we're on to a winner

500 odd posts and were getting angry already......Oh dear.
Negative threads are here for a reason....because people feel negative about certain things the club do and do not do. As paying customers we are entitled to have a moan if we are not satisfied.
That said, positive threads are always welcome, but I for 1 think a drum would be a terrible addition unless jason bonham is a fan.
If you really want to hear some noise, jump on the Gfax express to Hull.......the "real" away crew are noisy enough, but with us as backing singers, we are very very very loud!
