| Seriously, didn't Workington make preliminary enquieries, but realised quickly that they wouldn't make it.

No we didn't.
I think Whitehaven made noises about applying in 2012 though, but there's been no progress made with their new ground and they've got big financial troubles now so I guess even that is a long shot now.

That would never happen. Ask any Swinton fan if they started watching Salford when we were in SL. The same could be said for Leigh fans with Wigan and Hull KR fans with FC.

I disagree as a Cumbrian lad If Whitehaven or Workington were In SL I would go and watch a game or two to support Cumbria.
They might be classed as "derby neighbours" but as has been said its miles away from us up there ( I can get to Wigan quicker) and I dont really feel any animosity towards the lads up the coast.

Good to hear!
I wonder if Whitehaven/Workington (who are alot closer together i think) fans would do the same, i bet quite a few would

| Having lived in Cumbria for over 15 years i don't think Whitehaven or Workington fans would support each other. You may get them at games to support the other team eg. the away team. I don't think people from outside the area understand the rivalry, its no different to my hatred of my Lancashire rivals. I watch the games to see them lose.
Much as i think it would be great to have a Cumbrian team (i wouldn't include Barrow in it) i can't ever see it happen unless one of the new nuclear owners make it happen as a new club.

| Would you merge Saints and Bradford ? Travel time closer together !!! and a far safer journey.
I think i could do St.Helens to Barrow about as fast as i could Workington to Barrow.

Thats exactly the paradox in cumbrian, you cant merge teams because of the rivalry and the distance, but the clubs are possibly not big enough on their own. At the moment i think Barrow are best placed.
