[QUOTE="die_mole, post: 1101142, member: 73648"] crowds of a few hundred are possible in a 10k or 5k stadium. Probably a little more likely if they are forced to a ground share or to build a stadium further from their traditional home. I think a big issue is that it's a lot harder for a club in the championship to receive financing for stadium improvements than a team in the premiership. Hopefully this rule allows teams with ambitions to not have to be so careless with money and maybe have more sustainable growth. Stadiums are getting smaller here in America cause of the TV experience, maybe expecting every topflight rugby team to draw 10k+ every match is not reasonable. [/QUOTE]
