What our sport really needs is an elite team in Doncaster. Oh yes, if only we had that the RFU would be quaking in their boots

Crowd of 2245.

Its a bloody joke.

For the sake of our game please just pack up and disappear forever.
You and Celtic are bleeding our game dry.

what a clown you are quins have been around for nearly 30 years in one form or another and are proving that expansion can work, the academy is bearing fruit and the club is going from strength to strength. it is always a massive task to attract fans to a game especially on a saturday afternoon.....whats the excuse for teams like salford who have been around for over 100 years and still get p155 poor attendances.

Your team is not the problem.
What is the joke is that even with a successful team you STILL cannot attract even an average sized crowd.
I'd stake a lot of money on it that if your Franchise and hence your Sky money was given to any other Championship club they would attract 50% more (at least) than your average crowd.
And that would include the likes of Blackpool,Workington,Swinton,Hunslet etc who at present struggle to average 400.
Rugby League in London does not work and never will
FACT.

Location on profile and the fact he posts on the Doncaster rlfc fans forum(who are having a terrific season results wise btw, superleague franchise indeed!) may give you a clue

Attendances aren't too clever there either!

You left out the competing financially as well bit! Although I do feel for Doncaster at the moment having just put themselves into administration perhaps Saynotofranchises should heed the ancient proverb
"Those is glass houses etc.........."

No.
Just someone who cares about the game.
Theres a number of traditional clubs teetering on the 'brink'.
Every single one of them is a million per cent more worthy of support than Quins and Celtic.
Cull you 2 their problems are solved and the game is saved.
Lets face it RL in London is an abject failure and is an embarrassment.

I see the flat earth society is alive and kicking

If RL in London doesn't work what hope is there for "heartlands" clubs that have been going, 2,3 or 4 times as long and can't even match us? Taking your logic to its inevitable conclusion we'd only have maybe 8 clubs playing RL at any kind of professional level.
