Exactly. This is what's happened in Halifax, new fans graduated towards the Bulls because Fax were no longer in the top league. Same applies with Fev and Wakey, new fans went to watch Wakey play the likes of Leeds, Wigan and Saints. That's how Wakey grew their crowd. If Fev had been in SL or if we still had the old system some of those fans would be at P O Road. And it is about replenishing the crowd, replacing those who for whatever reason no longer come to games - they die, they can no longer get to games because of illness or family commitments.

Thats a very valid point but in our recent discussion with Sheikh Onamaface the lack of guaranteed p&r killed the deal.

Interesting. When we were negotiating with Baron von moneylaundering, it was the fact that he could almost guarantee getting a team into SL by building the right club infrastructure, rather than having to depend on the lottery of a small set of playing results that made the idea so attractive to him.

Thats quite interesting, do you think its a cultural thing between Germans and Arabs or historical, due to one having one and the other not?

No.
