In my opinion - yes it is. I do go to watch the Quins women
play. I also go to watch the Richmond women play when they have
a home game.
By - for other people - it isn't their cup of tea.
Likewise - some people like going to watch the u18s play. Some
don't.
However, for the club the women's game is growing market. The
amateur nature of the players means that it costs the club very
little. There is TV income as well as food+bev.
To me, it seems a good revenue stream and probably generates
profit.

You can't buy a season ticket and then complain that, for
example, you refuse to watch a match at Twickenham stadium. The
mens game is lucky that there's season tickets match day resale.
But very few STHs attend every match that is possible throughout
the season. If there's some games included in the price that
you'll never attend, then you have to work out if the games
worth the candle. Don't want a season ticket, I hope you've
worked out how much the on the day tickets are gonna cost you.

I don't care about either but I accept that the Premiership Cup
is a thing. I have no interest in women's rugby.

This season there has been a bit of that - there's been quite a
turnover of players and I think the coaching staff has also
changed. More brodaly there have been a lot of players moving
around the league as more teams have stepped up their ambitions,
and it's been disruptive for Quins in particular.
When teams are more stable, the quality can be very high. The
2021 Prem 15s Final, to pick one example, was as good as the
men's final.

I watched a decent amount of Quins women's rugby when Karen
Finlay was in charge but after she moved on the style of play
was so against 'the Quins way' that they looked more like Exeter
than Quins and I drifted away. It would be an easier sell for
me to come back to more games if the style of play was similar
for both teams, not just the branding.

I certainly think you can complain, especially when they
introduce it part way through the season!
If I can't go to a Stoop match, I can put my ticket up for
resell. I get 1/16th of my ST value back so I'm happy, someone
else gets a seat so they're happy, and Quins get to sell it for
more money spent they're happy.
When they move games over the road, we lose that option, so you
automatically lose out if you can't make it to one of those
games.
As it happens, this year I was away for my wife's birthday on
the rescheduled BG, and will also be away on my lad's club tour
for the weekend of the BSKO, meaning I lose out twice. This
definitely contributed to my decision not to renew.

Women’s rugby is definitely a thing.

That's a fair point to an extent, but with the big difference
being that the Prem and the Cup don't overlap.
There's no way I'd be able to justify taking pretty much every
weekend of the season off from family to justify watching the
women's matches too.
