Quote: Ste100Centurions "All true.
Let's take my club Leigh & say that a merger with Wigan is forced/foisted upon Leigh, what would happen.
Roughly at Championship level that is 4,000 lost fans to the Pro game, at SL level last year that's roughly 5,500 - 6,000 lost to the Pro game. Where do those fans go ? Not Wigan *who will still be Wigan* but maybe 300 - 500 to both Leigh Miners & Leigh East, so the town Amateur Clubs gain maybe 800 fans between them but potentially 4-5k lost from Leigh Centurions, net loss to the game of 3,200 - 5,200 !!! Worth it ?'"
Well said. I can see the 2 expansionists on here, with their 17 accounts ...... head spinning for a reply
