We made good progress in the past, its just that moving from place to place and going bust killed all that.

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?

Wasn't it the RFL that marketed to the Aussies?

I wish some people at the club were more critical.

I beleive so

Apparently we dont have our own marketing manager (looking at the staff on the website)

Looks like the media guy is green behind the ears too in terms that he hasnt worked in sport before, this looks as if it is a position that should be outsourced to a proffesional sport media/pr company. Guys with real links and leads to the media we need to be targeting.

We had a good start as Fulham
When SL came along we got another bump
What were our crowds like first time we where at the Stoop?
Since then we've been the same proposition just that we've moved around far too much and drifted into insignifigance in the public eye.
We got a bounce when we became quins and that has just drifted away since then.

No. What the club needs is someone who understands the whole concept of CPA marketing, or in laymans terms, cost per sale. Enough of the "good work done by ...blah blah" and another award for blah blah.....if you want bums on seats then the person who worked on the Manly Game is the guy we want. He won't be cheap, but as CEO with a remit for marketing we would find it hard to locate someone better.
By all means "borrow" ideas from Celts and Catalan, but do not believe that your average Londoner is anything like a taff or a frog.

I didn't mean to borrow ideas but to nick their people! Even if they are 'Taffs or Frogs' rather than Cockneys! Obviously someone at these clubs is doing the right things (whatever they may be - I'm not from the sports marketing/admin field so what do I know!). Agree that someone like the guy who organised the Manly game is the sort of person we ought to go for otherwise - I suggested poaching SOMEONE from Catalans 'cos they seem to know what they are doing over there! No matter how hard the QRL staff are trying with no CEO its a bit of a headless chickens scenario! And until someone with some clear ideas of how to market the club/ RL in general to the potential punters down here I can't see that situation changing.

Ummm. Not sure how any of that was/is progress. History yes, not progress. Crowds start high and fall off every time. There was no progress whatsoever at Griffin Park either.

So where is this progress you speak of? A few decent crowds every now and then?
