Answered your own question really, can't see them wanting 2 hull teams to be honest, they'll want the catch ment of teams to be up and down the country in major cities wheres theres potential market growth.
Don't agree with this strategy but I'd imagine that's how they'll look at it to grow the game, even though we all know it won't ever grow outside the m62
