Quote: AgbriggAmbler "One of the best things about the championship has been the genuine warmth which other clubs...and fans...have welcomed us with. Apart from the ball boys at Fev! I know part of this will be down to the financial boost of our away following, but I think it's down to much more than that, a genuine respect for the game and the opponents. Some of the 'bigger' clubs could do with toning down their arrogance and follow suit.'"
The championship is a good competition and for second league the attendances between around 500-3000 is pretty good I think.
There’s a few clubs that have some real potential long term to become strong clubs.
I honestly think that given the effort to find some decent investment in sponsorship and tv deals (not every game but 1/2 per round) that the clubs could certainly flourish.
If they could look for a deal half the value of the SL and apply central funding to 50% of what SL clubs get then the Championship could become a really positive competition.
There just doesn’t seem any willingness from the top to really drive it or find the investment.
