Your reply. Every ignorant Northener with no idea about anything trots out the Australian line.



Your comments about Guinness are so wide of the mark its funny, but then I suppose its normal for you.

But the Irish community in London tend to be at their strongest in the North West? And your club is...South West? And of course they are more into Union than league...hence the union side 'London Irish'? I would also suggest Gaelic football is more popular with the Irish community than Rugby League. So with respect it looks like the OP doesnt really have much of an idea about who to target. Sure, other people like St Paddys day. But I'm not sure why they would want to spend it at Twickenham Stoop.



We have Australians living not far from me and they are all massive league fans. It's bound to be the same in London.

What are you rambling on about? Where has the OP mentioned anything to do with the Irish community? Do you think all of the people celebrating St Patricks day in bars around England are Irish? Well done for spectacularly missing the point.

I have already said other nationalities like St Paddys day. but then again Australia day is also popular with other people than Australians. But it's fair to say the MAJORITY of people who celebrate St Patricks day are Irish or at least have Irish ancestry.



You are missing my point I think. To get bigger crowds to your place you need to target the people that would be most likely to come back again. Selling Guinness at 50p off a pint, blowing up some green balloons and having a few people riverdancing on the pitch isn't going to bring them back again is it?

Keep digging. You really have no idea at all do you? If I was you, I would avoid trying to criticize the ideas of those who call marketing their profession. You honestly think that Australia Day is anywhere near as popular as St Patricks Day with non-Australias?



The majority of people who celebrate St Patricks day are Irish? PMSL. Absolutely priceless.







Nope, but we need to try things to get them there in the 1st place, especially those that have been before. Your original idea with regards to Australians has been done to death and does not work, fact. Keeping them there is the problem.

Please reassure me that the OP's profession isn't marketing??!! Does he work for Harlequins RL? That would probably explain why hardly anyone turns up to your home games!!



So let me get this right.....you think that the majority of people who celebrate St Patricks day AREN'T Irish???!!! So what are they? Mexican? Nigerian? Welsh? South African?



You get funnier and funnier!!

Oh dear.

You've clearly never been to a pub on St Patricks Day.

You do know where London Irish play their home games don't you?

You do know where they played their home games for a short period before this don't you?

You do know where their home ground was before all of these moves don't you?

You do also know where the London Irish Amateur RFC club play their home games don't you?



Small clue, the answers are not North London.

oh dear indeed.

I know from reading An Phoblacht that the republican Irish (or the guy who wrote the article) are know fans of the 15 a side game
