Koukash mentioned Sefton

The only grounds I can think of in Sefton are Haig Avenue or New Bucks Park.

Will he give the team a ridiculous name like Southport Sandgrounders or Bootle Boot Boys?

Barton pal, a bit like Castleford is in Wakefield but its Castleford yes

Another black hole for Koukash's money

Yes, Liverpool City and Huyton were roaring successes weren't they? Regularly got 40,000 per match.

If the club is properly put together -

- they have a long term stadium to play in that will allow for a decent sized crowd along with room for that crowd to grow.
- the team is utilizes local amateur talent along with a scattering of seasoned players
- has a sustainable junior development programme in place from day 1
- is properly marketed along with the game of RL to the local community and schools so that you can engage a decent ground swell of fans in the area.
- there is a proper long term, sustainable plan for the club's growth

Then I don't see why it would be a failure. Slow and steady wins the race. It's been shown that when you rush a club into an area which doesn't have strong RL roots they tend to flounder

John Desmond the Doncaster chairman sold Tattersfield to a property & construction company & this left the Dons homeless.

I believe the RFL paid Geoff Fletcher a some of money for his team to terminate there membership of the RFL
