Maybe, but now new teams get 3 years to grow into SL - look at what having time has done for Hull KR (who survived without a safety net to be fair), Catalans and now Castleford.
Plus, for the Championship to grow (which everyone must want it to) it must be respected as a comp in it's own right. I think the SKY coverage is helping with that. The fans ought to respond by backing their clubs - good to see 5k+ at Widnes last week despite no away fans but shocking to see only just over 2k at Halifax last night.
3272 i think was the official attendance which isnt bad for a thursday night game on sky
