Not at all, it's because the second tier must develop into a thriving comp and to do that it needs teams who have a support base to become FT and challenge for SL status on decent gates which will raise the comps profile as a result

Fev and fax have that potential

And here's me thinking that it was the actual rugby that mattered. I was wrong all along, it only matters how many fans you have. Silly me.

What load of Tosh - Fev is a declining pit village that might get 3000 and Halifax a suburb of Huddersfield whcih can't get much more - they have no potential to get anywhere near 10/12 k they have more chance at their Bingo halls which is where most of their population spend their time and dosh!
