Lost the will to live on this one.

In the end is a shirt sponsor good or a bad thing? GOOD

Do we need to market the club better? YES

Did the Manly game show us a way? YES

Are some of the ideas on this thread good? YES, but what the hell do i know i go to Quins to watch rugby and support my team and that s why i come on this site.

so direct all these emails to the club or find a better website - "Marketing Weekly.com" or "I dont believe i am obsessed but i just want to say.com"

Manly was a one off. we cant look at that as a model which is why i was disappointed they didnt get more schools community groups and local businesses involved -as then the trick could be repeated.
We need to build up our own id and being a club where there is no atmosphere as our crowd is made up of aussies on a day out is probably not the long term direction we should be heading.

The tie in with St Marys boosts the profile of both us and them and that is better for us than money at this stage

good point, although Gutterfax amy argue that it is not the target audience (e.g. Aussies) but the way the club went about marketing / selling the game.

It is funny, but when the club seem to try to market to the Aussies they get it almost spot on - but marketing to Brits they seem to miss the mark. Is it just me?

I think the St Mary's sponsorship is fine, thats what my email said. My point re Manly was that someone did something and it worked so lets try something? The ideas that gutterfax and others have suggested are interesting, i am not an expert, so try them or SOMETHING?

I wouldnt mind 5000 quiet aussies/Kiwis/Quins RU fans/ or bloody martians as long as the 3000 or so regulars can shout scream and have a good day out. 5000 appears a magical figure, if we dont get to it in 3 years then maybe no franchise or D Hughes may bail out, i would be very sad to lose RL at Quins - its the highlight of my week (how sad is that).

My point was were was there any mention of rugby, the team or anything of interest to 99.9999999% of the worlds population in most of the posts on this thread. Just lots of egos having a "my **** 's bigger than yours" competition.

And before i am accused of bias, i am from Hull, was there 2 weeks ago for the Cas match - but i regard my exile as escape.................

The Aussies love anything that reminds of home. Therefore when you get the top NRL club playing in London, they're going to turn up.
