| Quote wakeytom="wakeytom"On a comprehensive win tonight, and turning up in the thousands to see your team win.
Before you all start the RL should have been much more sensible with this and I realise that, that having it on a Friday night does not give the fans time to get to the game, but Gateshead will be dissapointed with 402 as when some of the lower teams play a SL team, getting half the gate reciepts really helps for the rest of the season!'"
In fairness 402 isn't that much less than Quins get for a home SL fixture. |

| Quote The Clan="The Clan"I think some of the OPs criticism is aimed at the RFL for scheduling this game on a Friday.
Had it been on a Sunday afternoon there may well have been a following from London as well as curious locals and a few Union fans wanting to know what Harlequins RL were all about.'"
That was actually more of my point, I do often criticise the attendance at Quins but this is well and truly aimed at the RFL who continue to do stupid things like this, when a team in the lower leagues should at least have the decency of been able to pick up some "walk in" trade from the local community, and giving the opposition fans the chance to see the game! |

The RFL didn't put the game on friday night, FYI.
Gateshead and Quins sorted out when this fixture was going to take place.

OK then, the decision makers at Gateshead & Harlequins ought to have their heads checked. |

How is it the RFL's fault when the two clubs will have sorted it out??
They could have taken the match down to London for the higher gate and therefore higher split revenue. But, the two clubs get a lump sum to compensate for the fact that so many folk have free tickets to fourth round matches with their season tickets. Quins have struggled with crowds this season anyway, so they're unlikely to pull a crowd for it to be cost effective. The Union club also played today and Gateshead would have had to travel, which would have cost them money they can't afford.
As for playing at Gateshead, perhaps the club thought it would create more of a spectacle having the match on a friday night, thus creating more of a pull and a higher gate. Or, perhaps the stadium is booked this weekend, seen as Thunder share it with other sporting clubs. Or, perhaps they decided to play it on Friday, so the team, who are part timers, can have a weekend with their families. |
