Spot on.

It might take time, but hopefully the club and DH will be patient and one day someone will see the potential and make a serious long-term investment in the club. The club and our small base of supporters have to stick it out and make the best of what we have, rather than calling for yet another move away.

Your obsession with classes is ridiculous. You think that Stratford is a "working class area", so automatically they will sympathise towards Rugby League? Utter rubbish.

You think a move away from being Harlequins RL, to a brand new identity with no foundations whatsoever, will be a success? Utter rubbish.

We are in an excellent area for people to watch Rugby League, great access, pleasant area, people everywhere.

I can't believe people moan about GF's suggestions, yet there is very little complaint about someone suggesting we should uproot the team, again, after only 3 years, with no justification. Barmy.

your obsession with staying in twickers is by now plainly flawed.you say "excellent area to watch league"-not backed up by crowd figures."great access"-your joking.no tube , engineering works to br , pleasant area(?), people everywhere-yeah everywhere other than in the ground
you mentioned new identity ,your good at putting words in peoples mouths.our harlequins identity is really working for us.how many fans wont buy a home shirt...me included.
as for justification,moving to the stoop has not been justified.what are your views on publicity generated by a move to e.15

We didn't get good crowds at the Valley at all. Would you like to make any stereotype about me?

Excellent investment opportunity: brand new Rugby League side in area with no proven fanbase whatsoever. History of moving around and supporters moaning because crowds are too low for their liking after only a few seasons. Change the record, its getting boring.

What don't you understand about the fact that we have only been there for THREE SEASONS, compared to ONE HUNDRED years of other teams, who only get 2 or 3 times as many supporters for their home games? Still waiting.

I imagine that move would get no publicity whatsoever, and the football team would want nothing to do with it either, so stop bleating.

Unpleasant? Where have I been unpleasant? You have aired your views, at least 2 people think they are ludicrous, and now you are getting your knickers in a twist and getting upset because someone disagreed with you? What do you constitute being a sensible discussion, everyone agreeing with your dire idea?

Speaking of dicussion, have you intentionally chosen to swerve my latest post, or have you realised how rash the move would be?
