On realistic terms I would agree but they aren't going to get 1,000 fans to turn up at every home meeting as it's an unrealistic target by a distance.
Premiership clubs don't get anywhere near that most weeks and that's with higher quality 1-7's on show.
Let's say they run just for the sake of it.........They'd be left with the scraps to build an uncompetitive 1-7 and then they'll need 1,000 fans to pay up every week to watch them.
It's just so unrealistic and the writing is on the wall either way. They'll either not run or they'll take a huge risk and run to fight a losing battle and they'll go bust mid season and pull out like Eastbourne did this year.
