Gateshead's first crowd over 1,000 today, a 25% increase on their previous best for the season. Can't think why

But as it has been suggested previously, there are only about 4 or 5 true Super League quality clubs, the rest just so happen to be playing in Super League at the moment. You shove Celtic, Quins, Wakey, Salford, Huddersfield, Cas or even Hull KR in the 2nd tier for an extended period of time and their attendances and youth development will be poor.

Becoming a feeder club would feel a bit like you have given up trying to get in to SL. Given that there are so many poor/average SL clubs, why should ambitious Championship clubs give up their dream? I'm not saying it should be easy to get into SL, but the threat of Championship clubs would keep the SL clubs on their toes.

2009 is just a snapshot of how things are now - if anything below SL is just effectively cut-off, who knows what damage that will do in the future. Imagine if the licence system was brought in just a few years ago, Hull KR probably wouldn't even be in SL, never mind near the top. You have to have the opportunity to progress or the competition and the clubs will stagnate.

AMEN.

ER.......hang on a moment. Are you saying that the complaints about drunken and abusive Leigh fans were unfounded or are you saying that Drunken and foul mouthed behaviour is OK? Sorry, but if fans were being abusive and/or swearing then they should be ejected. I have read the threads connected to this and I am amazed that anyone would try to defend such behaviour......let alone come on the VT to do so

Having read the thread on lasttackle from the Gateshead fans it seems very much a case of making a mountain out of a mole hill with people not liking swearing.
