To a large percentage of the posters on the this forum - we ARE Quins RL.

To anyone who has become involved in the club since they have been at The Stoop (this time) they are Quins RL.

As a marketable brand, they are Quins RL

This is the forum for the supporters of Quins RL.

"Quins RL" is no longer used by the club, right?

You sure? I'm not sure that's officially used either. Sorry, personal bugbear here, but the failure to decide upon a working short form of the club's name... grr...

As this page makes abundantly clear: http://www.league.quins.co.uk/rugby/10091.php we are "Harlequins Rugby League" or "Harlequins" or "Quins RL" or "Quins".

Our erstwhile Chairman said we were to stop using Quins RL, as people thought RL was short for Rugby Lessons!

Harlequins Rugby League is a bit of a mouthful, though.

Tbh i think the name 'London Harlequins' would build you a bigger profile and help you to dinstinguish yourselves from the Rugby Union club.

The origional thread asked if we have to stay as Harlequins Rugby league

Not should we move back to brentford?
Purely do we have to stay as Harlequins RL in whatever guise that is
we had to change to harlequins with the move, and i do not deny that we could not be viable if we were not playing at the stoop

I personally get asked where we play? not just is it at Twickenham but is it London?
Questions come from people who are showing an interest in the game

Look at the origions of Harlequins RU
In fact the club are "the Harlequins of London"

Has the "HARLEQUINS BRAND" worked for us? dont really think so
What would be wrong with us includign LONDON somwhere in the club name??
And yep you are correct in France we are known as London Harlequins

It was made clear at the time that the RU club said we had to play as Harlequins if we were to be at The Stoop, they would not permit London Harlequins or anything similar. Given Mark Evans was one of the driving forces behind it, and he is still around at Quins RU, I doubt that position has changed.

And so it shouldn't!

When will people learn not to rise to rupe1's rubbish? Just let his little threads fall off the boards with 0 replies then then he might kindly disappear for good like he has from The Stoop - excellent.
