so, reintroduce promotion/relegation and possibly have a club relegated who bring 8 000 fans a week to their games and promote a club who may bring 1200.

doesnt that totally negate ur argument about crowds??

why should London have a superleague team, cos its the capital, is that the only reason, if so, its a pretty poor one tbf, nothing againts the quins but I am sick of the superleague playing piggyback to clubs who simply dont deserve to be there, regardless of whether they are "needed" or not. Do what Bi suggested ages and ages ago, have a second tier and put them in there, if they come up to the first tier, then they will be there on merit and dos what anybody else thinks

craven, that might be part of the problem u have, assuming too much.

its rather amusing reading folk saying "this club or that club" dont "deserve" to be in super league. as they themselves were the arbiters of such things....lol

i feel obliged to say again, the fans have no say in the decisions about the sport, and rightly so.

Cheese. The problem I have is clubs who keep getting bailed out because of their location which is the case with quins,crusaders and other clubs ie widnes,wakey,hull fc,hull kr got no help.Surely you would agree that it should be an equal playing field.

Cheese.As a matter of interest do you ever answer a question.? As I said in an earlier post you told me I dont know how to create a fanbase which is true,but are you going to give us all the benefit of your vast experience and tell us how its done.Better than that as you make out its so offhand and simple why dont you offer your services to the quins,and achieve what they haven't been able to do for 30 years.!!!

dear dear craven u seem to be suffering from a rather severe dose of assumptionitis.

i have never said anything about knowing how to make quins get 50 000 regular fans and neither would i.


on ur level playing field malarky, i have given it due consideration and deemed it unworthy.
a level playing field is neither desireable nor neccessary , apart from being impossible.

if there is anything else u care to ask, stop first and ponder on whether it really matters.

happy to help

Cheese. Its always easy to pick fault with things,a fool can do that,but to actually come up with a solution is a different thing.Maybe thats why you never answer a question.!

i actually think it is very difficult to pick fault, especially those hidden just below the surface faults that are not easy at all to spot.

chucking random stuff around on the internet, now thats easy.
