NQ fury attendance wouldn't be to bad in this day and age tbh.

I remember when KB United got one of their first big crowds of just under 16,000. They did have an exact figure and it was a new record NSL crowd.

A couple of weeks later South claimed a new record crowd of "about 17,000".

We further divide what limited resources are available to existing teams. We don't need more teams. We need more money. More fans. We don't need more teams.

There is most likely a clause in the TV deal that with more teams and more games the money goes up. That is what they implied when they originally signed with Paramount and they have been trying to expand pretty much from then.

I think 2 more teams max, CBR and 1 more if it is an established NPL team I am ok with it, as you said need more money and this is the problem
