Message: [QUOTE="CaptainHook, post: 2919153, member: 8315"] Yeah there are many factors to consider. Do they play out of a different city but continue to go by their old name (I think that was the intention of the North Sydney bears when they put in a proposal to take over the Titans last year) or do they rebrand themselves as a new entity and market it as a fresh start - that could entice new fans on board. Old fans will be lost unfortunately. If the Broncos were relocated how would I feel? I don't live in Brisbane but still support them so I don't know how cut up I'd be by it if it meant survival of the club. The Sydney Swans were relocated from South Melbourne. They've had their ups and downs but to be still around today probably means it's a success. Another point is that expansion takes time - the AFL are playing the long game. They understand it will take generations and that's why they get out into schools to spread the gospel. I'm sceptical the NRL has the vision, passion and drive however which way they decide to go in. Definitely agree with your last point and that would be my first preference. Let them go bust. That was the intention when they expanded in the mid 90's - not every club was meant to go into the new era and we would've established footholds in Perth, New Zealand, North QLD, Adelaide etc. [/QUOTE]
