My question to everyone is are any other teams doing, thinking of doing or have done this in the past? If so do you have any advice on the matter? And also what is your opinion on whether this is a good move or not?

If you'll use the handy-dandy search feature, you'll see that it's been tried, and fallen flat each time.

That being said, let me know if you make any real progress and I'll jump on board.
