| Quote gutterfax="gutterfax"Great Post. Your 24th effort on here is a real gem and I am tempted to use it as my sig......or maybe, print it off and use it as toilet paper
I agree with the dance thing, but the rest is just pure drivel.
I am a sports fan. I played Union untlil my body gave up, played GAA and Hurling for years, Basketball, baseball, cricket and even wendyball. I watch Harlequins Rugby League because I was dragged to a game in 2002 and was hooked immediately.
The British and Irish Lions are of interest to me and therefore, the opportunity to watch that game prior to getting tonked by Leeds was a good option. It also brought in a fair few Union fans who said they would be back, so it served its purpose.
Anzac day....another good idea. We got 6,000+ for the Manly game, so that goes to show there is an audience for the game...we just have to get the message across to the crims that they can come and enjoy a great day out.
Community day is a showcase of what we offer at TW2. Rugby league is a family sport and that day is designed to attract local families.
Dance day is a bad idea and one I do not agree with, but I refuse to b0ll0ck the club for trying something new.
Your post is obviously that of someone who has a chip on their shoulder about Union and absolutely no idea of the London sporting market.
I look forward to your future shi7e posts with baited breath.'"
For a guy with over 6000 posts you still don't get it
I'll keep it nice and simple for you.
Agree or disagree?? Showing a Rugby Union game before a Rugby LEAGUE match will get lots of extra supporters in??
Agree or Disagree?? Putting on 'Antipodean entertainment, food and drink' an HOUR before kick off will have half the Antip community in London all heading for Twickers???
Agree or Disagree?? A 'Fantastic DAY of family entertainment' (the clubs words not mine) starting a WHOLE HOUR BEFORE kick off will have every man woman and child from within the M25 all heading down to the Stoop??
Agree or disagree?? 'Dance off Day' (well a full hour anyway) will have all the footy fans from the entire South East flocking to the ground???
Agree or Disagree?? You are an idiot

You don't like being wrong do you?
You guys need to get more people into your ground (well the ground you share with Quins union)
If you really agree that putting on kiddies dancing show, a jumpy castle, a few battered Savs and a VB or 2 and showing a UNION game on a big screen is going to increase your clubs attendances then its easy to see why footy in London has failed consistently since 1980
Good luck
I think you will need it.

According to everyone who knows better than me its Dance offs, Family hours, cold savs and televised Rugby Union games before kick off
That should REALLY increase numbers.
Attendances at Cronulla are a bit ordinary....I'm going to send them the link to this thread.
Forget Tony Zappia
Forget less than impressive crowds
Forget the loss of our main shirt sponsor.
A few battered Savs, a family 'hour' and a Waratahs match should sell Toyota park out every week

| So no answers to PC Plum's question then?
Even if the discussed ideas attract 1 new supporter, which they will, its 1 more supporter than your current ideas (nil) will do.

| think the band after was a good idea when we came on train other year it made us stay for a few beers couldnt this year cause of sky moving game.
so went on bus which was supposed to take us round richmond for drinks b4 game but harquins persuaded us to drop off at ground cause they was showing the union game.
Waste of time for us we just went into the town and drank outside ingorning the union which a fair few of us did.
crowds do seem to be falling at stoop personally as a away fan i thought brentford wa class more like a league ground and good few pubs about in all honestly since youve left there your crowds are getting worse not better.

There are a selection of pubs within 10-15 minutes walk from the ground. And a nice bar at the stadium. What more do you want? Most grounds in Super League have a reasonable walk to the nearest half decent pub.

We aren't getting constant 2k crowds now either.
You think going to an area with no sports fans wouild be a smart idea? You'd be surprised how many of our supporters are season tickets holders at the RU club too, and how much respect RL gets from RU supporters down South.
