The alternative view is that a good season – ie) top 7 – brings consolidation. The crowds are good and would continue to be if we are challenging again next season.
The top – say – 14 players can probably be afforded but it’s the rest who would probably all have to be employed on the cheap.
Also, promotion might actually bring financial issues into play. Sitting in the bottom third of the NL would see crowds deteriorate.
I know several supporters who want us to remain in this division until we are pretty certain we can be NL top half.
Me? – Dunno.
