how many posters on here would vote for expansion if wakefield were the club to step down to the championship to allow a 'new' club to join SL ?
actually lets look at the facts, there isnt enough money in the game to support the clubs we have without bail outs and suger daddy's, the reported hull kr situation, one story i heard over xmas about us i didnt like the sound of much either etc etc
expansionism only will work if it brings more cash and that means more home and away fans, les cats works cos its a once a year beano for the fans we all love, would as many do it twice, i doubt it, les cats however does not work when they play away, so its a one sided gain.
The facts are wee need to get the fans in both home and travelling for the whole setup to work, otherwise we get th rugby as a sideshow to whichever x factor clown is popular that week to cover the gaps, so in reality the only option is widnes to expand the cash, not even sure a cumbrian club could bring the same impact,hate to say it though but i thin expansion is a bit ambitious at present, survival of the current set-up will be hard enough, can see less clubs rather than more.
