Why do they need 2 games at the stoop? Is it because that for the last 3 years when Keighley have played the friday night lights game there have been 1500+ crowds so Quins can boost their crowd, or is it so that Quins get more money out of the day, and again a lower league side gets screwed???

How is anyone getting screwed?

Hmmmmmmmm how is anyone getting screwed? well firstly it is being played at the stoop which is Harlequins home ground, so who gets the money from the gates? I bet the Quins try and wrangle it so they get about 95% of it. Then there is the bar takings where will they go? to the stoop, the burger vans, programmes etc. If the match was staged at new river stadium, it would be a big advantage for the Skolars and it would line their pockets and not Quins. Don't they get enough money with their SL handouts???
I am not a Skolars fan, but a rugby fan in general, and I think they should do more to help the little clubs, so do the right thing and move the game to the Skolars ground.

Riiiiiiight...

I'm pretty sure Skolars wouldn't have agreed to it if they didn't get anything out of it. Not everything in Rugby League is a conspiracy.
