You only have to look at all of the major sports to see that leagues are in no way confident to introduce new sporting franchises at a risk to their profits and public image... As shit as out public image may be at present, while we have a team we can turn it around... If our memberships turn to shit and tinkler throws his dummy and FFA see a failing club with poor membership, we won't have a leg to stand on and we'll go the way of Gold Coast and North Queensland.
At least with a club and decent membership numbers, we are showing that there is a strong business case to keep a team in newcastle. What's more with strength in numbers we at least have a voice in trying to goad tinkler on to action (as futile as that may be)
