Quote ="Starbug"Yes they do , they have picked up on the interest started by the Celtic fiasco and are taking things nice and easy , and hopefully will eventually become a strong sustainable Championship club
And yes more clubs are needed , but I want to see strong clubs that will definatly build and survive , if we spread ourselves too thinly then we will just make ourselves look silly'"
You took the words right out of my mouth! Slow and steady bottom up expansion is the way forward. The Summer Conference system will hopefully become a conveyor belt for Championship expansion. Handing out places to short lived teams, built on quick sand and propped up with union players looking to keep fit is a no go, but clubs with their own facilities, junior set ups, commercial contacts, local authority buy in etc must be encouraged.
Only hope that the central sky money available to CC and CC1 clubs can be grown and used to incorporate this growth. Can only imagine £100k conditional cash (e.g. employ CEO, Commercial Manager) being given to a Hemel or Notts will see them fly.
Exciting times ahead and i cant wait to see the look of the Championship in 2012/13 onwards!
