Wait. Is this one of those threads where the posters spout all manner of childish bile and then a little while later they realise how pathetic they sound so attempt to make themselves feel better by saying silly phrases like "owned", "whoosh" and "got another bite" etc?

I'm serious. I'd like to see an Irish team brought in instead as an expansion club.

Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know:

You'll be unstoppable after the merger then and will have a decent gate to watch it.
That'll make room for an Irish or Lebanese Expansion team which is important if the game is to grow outside of the M62. |

| Will be interesting to see 'crowd' at Crusaders tonight
Low levels of home support, plus zero away following  |

Well, I stand corrected
Crowd given as 3,517, which is actually a very decent effort. Up by about 50% from their attendance against us, and with presumably almost no away support
Happy to be proved wrong - well done to the Crusaders

Finally we agree! Now if you'd collect your belongings and make your way to the Championship we'll say no more about it!  |

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

Better to give away 1500 tickets in the hope that some will pay next time rather then do nothing and get no extra fans for the next game. |

Wasn't dissing the idea.
Just see what their crowds are when they don't allow 50% of their gate in for nothing. |

Whatever the figure turns out to be it should be bigger than it might have been had they not done some marketing. I don't think they have any option but to encourage fans, by what ever means they decide will work best. I think many of the older clubs are doing 'deals' of one kind or another anyway so I guess we need to qualify most club's gates. |

Lebanese expansion is soo last year. And they are not even in Europe (ESL!). Russian expansion is they way forward. After the world cup the landscape will be littered with unused 40,000 seater stadia. We could either expand into Russia or ship over a few stadia and give them to established clubs! |
