No idea but you have to wonder as we are all paying extra for it
if season ticket holders you have to wonder why so few there,
and is it actually paying for itself

I was there !!! Some of the handling skills were very good, good
positive attitude & attacking intent. Ellie Kildunne was
magnificent (4 tries and a great grubber kick to set up one
too). She has the pace to skin some male 3/4's I could think of
in the Premier league.
Good crowd, entertaining game. I was glad to be there
!!!![emoji1]

when you say “good crowd” . how many is that ? i just don’t see
the game getting better , which is really disappointing . Ellie
scored four tries because the defence was atrocious

Women's professional rugby is a sport in its infancy and the
budget for the whole squad is less than the budget for Marcus
Smith. Most of the players in most of the teams are at best
semi-pro because only a handful of.players are paid enough to
make it a full time job.
The standard at the moment is to my mind not that far off where
the men's game was 20 years ago. The standard at international
level is high, but at club level it is very patchy depending on
how many first teamers are on the pitch.
No-one is asking you to turn up if you don't like it.
Personally, I do and Ms Poorfour Maj has ambitions to play
professionally one day, so I support it.
But even if you don't like it for yourself, you should be
encouraging it if you want the game as a whole to thrive,
because it's one of rugby's best options for attracting a new
audience and more money I to the game.
Quins are already selling out nearly all their men's matches,
and a bigger stadium is some years off at least. So if the club
as a whole wants to become more sustainable, the women's game is
a way to have more matches, and more revenue at comparatively
little marginal spend.
Or, y'know, they could put up season ticket prices even more
than they otherwise would.

They have already added £r0 to season ticket for the womens game
Would be interesting to know how much this is costing, and if
breaking even
