I'm sure every club would want a good hit out for A/B grade - and the increased revenue generated at home games - as well as just getting a game in for blokes. Think sometimes we are quick to forget the reasons we play community sport, and that opportunity to get out each weekend and have a kick as well.
100% its great if they can field a b grade side consistently.
Only issue will be is if the b grade side starts forfeiting Friday morning/lunch time semi regularly (eg struggle to get the numbers for aways games) will be frustrating for opposition players not knowing if they get a game until Friday morningish, frustrating for clubs catering, organizing timeslots etc.
But yeah they have to start somewhere so good luck to them.
Would love to see the northern burbs club performing much stronger than they are at a present. Hope we see a few in the higher grades in the next ten years.
