If the game was played at,say, Headingley would it get a larger crowd?. Possibly more neutrals would go?

What is the revenue split from the gate anyway?

The side finishing second does actually get a small 'memento' (also known as I can't remember whether it's a cup or a shield) in recognition of being promoted, but I've never known it to be presented on the field or owt.

Think you're right Matt they get a shield similar to our LLS

I get your point about state of the art stadium but, why ?

There is home advantage for the club that finishes 4th, it's not too hard to understand.
Plus, it's not exactly the Grand Final
