Apparently, there are people who have commented on this thread who 'arent against expansion, just want it to be done properly, with a club building up through the leagues'.

The Spartan's goal is to tour frequently and to visit the teams that so generously come to play us, and clearly establishing the finances to do this is fundamental to being invited to join a foreign league.'"
Its almost like they have done exactly what would be expected of a club 'doing it properly and building through the leagues' yet shockingly enough the usual suspects still find reason to criticise, I wonder why?
