The only person I think you could be referring to has a thankless task and not one I envy them, but the fact of the matter is, IT IS THAT PERSONS JOB! If we had sold 210 boxes last year, I would be the first to applaud them. I have always applauded the club and the staff when something is done well, but I will be bu99ered if I will sit back and be quiet when we sold 1 box last season and the then Boss smiled at me when he said it.
If you think I am a bit brash, then fine, but information in the public domain is just that. I have broken no law or the AUP and I will continue to lavish praise and scorn as I see fit.
If it upsets you, avoid my posts.

No, no, you have me soooooooo wrong. I love your postings. I just have an opinion too, which I've aired, without prejudice.

I too was once (10 years) in Sales and Marketing until I sold my small business for a tidy sum. PR is, in essence, selling, subtly, without closing - and I do it now to avoid the stress. Go for your life - be as brash as you like and as often as you like, as long as you don't mind me commenting, public domain and all that?

And what's all this obsession with genitalia, testicles, bollox, bu99ered.....come now, moderate!

HTH too

Simple: 99.9% of all posts on all sports internet forums by fans are total male genitalia and we know it

The other 0.001% post more as if they are female geniltalia[s]

Firstly, well done for having the cojones for going out on your own. I had the balls to do it a while back and have never looked back. Secondly, big chocolate salty ones (see south park) are a precondition of getting into sales. I moved from being a publican to sales and my nuts where sometimes in my mouth waiting for those early deals. My sweetbreads where sometimes on the line, but I always managed to deliver and as such, I have managed to be considered the mutts nuts when it comes to sales.
Although I do sometimes talk utter b0ll0x, some of my ideas are considered jewels by my best friends.
I have no idea where you think I have a pre-occupation with male genetalia though

"Dr Naylor said the cash came out of the university college’s existing marketing budgets "
heard it yesterday but was sceptical...but hey...I am nothing if I am not honest. Well done Quins commercial team
Off to lie down now

Good stuff

The shirts look 10x better now too. I wonder if they will go on sale?

Another £100 quid to the club then.

Looks good on the shirt. By the way, has Purdo shrunk since he got married or is Clubby overdosing on some growth drug

i went to st.mary's. i was a season ticket at quins last year. i only knew about the tie up last weekend when one of the boys i played league with at simms text me about the wakey result. my figure isn't on the pulse of either establishment as it used and i don't live in the immediate area anymore, but even so..........

ive also not read the full 16 pages of debate on this, so if i repeat something, i apologise

when i was at simms (i left in 98), there were small links growing between the college and the broncos as they were then. in the 97-98 season, i was chairman of simms rl, and we had two very good broncos academy players join the university. they got this opportunity, not solely, but in some part because of the links we had started to cultivate. St. Mary's also played at the stoop a few time. We once curtain raised against the acadamy, and beat them before the first team played HKR in the cup.

i think what im getting at is, as rugby league has developed in the twickenham area, simms have been infuential in this. not only are they the currect busa champs, they have won it on two previous occassions. they are also one of the "super 6" sides in the competition. player development, and personal development will be greatly enhanced. im sure you will see some of the wealth of london talent that is coming thru at quins now, end up at st.marys, and possibly vice versa. i know, when we were there several of us trialed and trained with the broncos. some of us even travelled out to crystal palace to do so.

the sports science department, and the new facilities the college has to offer are now truely world class. i go back yearly, and see the improvements. also, the students there are not like the snake bite guzzelling animals we were. they are all atheletes, who want to succeed, and this environment for quins or simms rl players will be ideal.

i'd encourage you to go and check out simms when they play, there may be an opportunity to see the next generation of quins players there.

i for one, am devestated im not at simms now, as i would have loved to have been part of it, and i hope that both parties will able to continue the work we made baby steps with all those years ago.
