They could, as you have later suggested, have a plan to relocate should they get in the league. They may do a Catalans and relocate for a year whilst they expand the ground.
What I'm getting at is the size of the ground whilst they are playing in the Championships is no bearing on a club's future ambition.
well, yes, because thats the only information available.
and again, how many stadiums are built then expanded within 5-10 years? how many are built then another slightly bigger stadium is built near it within 5-10 years
Quote:A SL club in Ireland has to come from the Championship (or similar competition), as it is in the RFL's licensing criteria. It makes sense for a club in the Championship to play in a stadium within their means and expand when necessary rather than be in a ground that will not be used and cost too much.
it would, but it would make more sense for a club going into the championship to know what it is going to do when it gets there
Quote:Also, it is better to have a Championship club than no professional club at all. A Championship club still offers players a pathway to the elite. They can come through an academy system at this club and either play semi-pro rugby or be signed to a SL club as a trained player. It's better than no system at all.
it is, and as i have said, not having the ambition or plans to make the jump to SL now is fine, they can go be a good championship club,
but we are going to be missing a massive trick by getting ireland to produce a few stars and then only bringing them to england,
