David Hughes has "form" on this front, having spent heavily on players in the hope that they'd perform and in turn attract the crowds to games.
I take it a reminder of how that panned out isn't needed?
As for promotion.
The bare facts are that if the team can finish in the top 4 of the Championship next year then they will have to win 4 from 7 and then a 5th....beating a SL side TWICE in the process.
When was the last time a Championship side knocked out a SL side in the Cup? 2006 HKR v Wire?...remind me how they fared in the next round?
Remember, these mid-8 games will not be "challenge cup" ties, but full on SL clubs/players playing for their livelihood's against a team of players not deemed good enough to be signed by SL clubs.
London Broncos 2013 side.....the worst in SL that year based on results saw off the top 2 teams in the championship last year.....we really were crap last year, regardless of the "soward" effect.
Promotion will be dependant on a SL club imploding (or worse)......other than Dr M walking out on Salford (he's just spat his dummy out again BTW) or Wakefield wobbling again, I really can't see it ever happening under this 888 MODEL

You missed the 2nd part of my post, will SL TV funding be enough for us to run you reckon? You seem to have a far greater understanding of the figures than me
