Why help a "new RL community" when London Super League seems in terminal decline? Whatever energy the club has needs expending HERE and NOW

SW London is no more a bastion of Union than Wembley is a soccer stronghold......It's where they happen to have a national Union stadium.

Yeah....we averaged just over 3,500 as Quins RL.....the only home we did better at was Brentford....west London...3 miles ftom Twickenham stadium!

Personally I've always thought Public Transport to be a major failing, we need to be as close to the Tube or a "convenient" NR Station as is possible.

Harlequins RU have gone from 3k to 14k gates in 8 years.........they know what they are doing...the management and owner of the Broncos don't!

Judging by the total beer mat concepts you've posted above, I reckon you're Gus......where's my fiver

Posters in Train stations, flowers on roundabouts is the answer.

They are in the 20 point business model

The RFU have got in on the act too.

In their defence perhaps the club are keeping their powder dry for Chatham railway station.

As an outsider, it seemed to me that Twickenham is a poor location for you, the locals will always associate themselves with union, and it just looks like you are the poorer cousin. As London goes it is a bit of a ballache to get to, surely there are stadiums in London with much better public transport links. We always here about how many antipodeans there are in London, sounds like you could do more to get them in, maybe by opening early to show the NRL etc. I don't really see what taking the London brand outside of the city will achieve, it is like a Mancunian team taking home games to Liverpool.

It takes less than ten minutes to reach the stadium on foot from a station directly linked to the busiest station in the UK and probably the busiest station in London. I can't think of many grounds in Super League that has better transport links than us. In fact I can't think of any.
