I can't see it affecting Warrington any more than St Helens - Warrington's far enough away to make Liverpool RLFC irrelevant in terms of immediate catchment area. Both clubs (and even Widnes ) have the history behind them that whatever new club is formed won't have.

While I can see the appeal to someone who doesn't really know the city well, the situation isn't the same as say Salford or Toronto. Salford was a long existing club that hadn't really managed to capitalise on proximity to Manchester and was then stuffed by moving to a stadium that is a nightmare to get to (particularly without the long promised Tramlink). Toronto is a good piece of marketing and developing from scratch but we'll have to see how sustainable it is - one important difference b/w Liverpool and Toronto is that Toronto has lots of sport competition but no RL competition, Liverpool has lots of decent RL teams in close proximity.

Barton pal, a bit like Castleford is in Wakefield but its Castleford yes

Another black hole for Koukash's money

Yes, Liverpool City and Huyton were roaring successes weren't they? Regularly got 40,000 per match.

If the club is properly put together -

- they have a long term stadium to play in that will allow for a decent sized crowd along with room for that crowd to grow.
- the team is utilizes local amateur talent along with a scattering of seasoned players
- has a sustainable junior development programme in place from day 1
- is properly marketed along with the game of RL to the local community and schools so that you can engage a decent ground swell of fans in the area.
- there is a proper long term, sustainable plan for the club's growth

Then I don't see why it would be a failure. Slow and steady wins the race. It's been shown that when you rush a club into an area which doesn't have strong RL roots they tend to flounder

John Desmond the Doncaster chairman sold Tattersfield to a property & construction company & this left the Dons homeless.

I believe the RFL paid Geoff Fletcher a some of money for his team to terminate there membership of the RFL
