| easy for me to say from 12,000 miles away, but I believe I would still go to home games.

| Delete please - enough negativity as it is. Surprised one option isn't "Do a marketing course and make Quins rich and famous".

Couple of points Mr Paddock "nailed on" Punter.
It is a serious question. I know you will follow the club blindly, but how many would the club retain if the drop down to CH1?
Secondly, I have resisted the trmptation to say "I told you so", but you and others on here have defended the club over the years whilst I warned you what was coming. Head in the sand attitude from fans and field of dreams marketing gets you into this position. This has nothing to do with Rupe1 and his anti Union type posts or storminateacup bronco...this is simply a fiscal crisis....brought on by the club itself
6,000 fans and DH could put his cheque book away....that's a simple FACT.......but one that doesn't sit well with some on here
BTW....Thanks for pointing me in the direction of the RL World interview..........that's $7 and 10 minutes of my life I'm never gonna get back......and all that with the same marketing budget as Wigan..FFS.

Probably the same sort of fan who would find any method available to avoid paying the ticket price for entry to games.

Oooohhh...get her
Regardless of how I "got in", I was always counted on the attendance....and the fact that I managed to get so many "freebies" would point to me being resourceful as well as tight. I would also counter that I off-set the cost of the ticket with additional takings at the bar
Whilst we're on the subject, I have blagged the company box at the westpac for the International in October.......and that comes with free food and beer....so no off-setting there
To answer catalancs.....look at the drop in gates at teams relegated previously for your answer. I believe (or would like to anyway) that London RL fans are made of sterner stuff and that's why I posted the poll.

| If we go down to the Championship it really is the end and the game of Rugby League deserves to suffer because as an M62 sport Sky will in the end lose patience and either drop there payment massively or pull out.

Either way, I still say I contributed my fair share to the cause...regardless of whether it was in VB, Fosters or even IPA
Let's see if the old saying "you can't give it away" still stands after the wire game eh

| I'd continue to go to some home games and some away games, as I do now. (That wasn't a specific option on the poll and I've ended up looking like I've voted that I'd go to all games home and away!) There would probably be fewer home visits though. I think I'll have only done six home SL games this year (including Warrington) which is my lowest figure since I started. Attendance figures would clearly drop sharply towards 1,000 and below, which would make the atmosphere in our excellent stadium even more soul-destroying.
Even the biggest NL clubs like Widnes (who would supposedly be guaranteed to enhance SL with big crowds) aren't averaging much more than 2,000 at the lower level, and I don't think anyone else averages over 2,000. The club's profile would be even lower without even match reports & stats on Teletext etc., at best we'd be among the NL1 also rans like Batley and Sheffield; another problem would be the lack of NL standard players willing to switch to play for us for NL salaries due to geographical reasons. We'd have to have an exceptionally effective youth development programme to overcome this.
Ultimately (assuming the club stays alive) I think we'd end up relocating to a more modest stadium and playing derbies with Skolars in NL2.
In short I think we'd have about as much chance of regaining Superleague status as the likes Workington and Oldham.

| Have also suggested will continue to go to all home games but would be a proviso to be honest that we play
in or around London as opposed to Oxford and the likes. That said hope to go and see more of the local Essex based sides
next season where feasible.
