Quote: ratchet "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.'"

why?

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.

Quote: Saint Simon "why?'"


Barrow is traditionally in Lancs (Like St Helens) so a lot of folks up the coast (and a fair few in Barrow it has to be said) will tell you Barrow is in Lancs.

Stick any club that wants to be classed as 'expansion' in their own league. Then at least the rest will be there on merit.

Would that be any club wanting to expand super league to join. eg. Widnes,Leigh,Whitehaven,Barrow and Halifax, or just the ones from an area that currently isn't represented.

What kind of viewing figures does the Cumbrian area get for SL/CC/SLS? Would it be worth moving a low key England game up there? Seems to me we still need do more to help the Celtic Crusaders achieve at least some of the success Catalans have had.

Workington were best placed in 95 , since then Haven have been best placed for the last 5/6 years

None of the clubs are individually big enough and they will never merge , if a ' new ' club was formed somebody would suffer either the new club or all the existing ones [ a few fans would support both a championship and SL club but most would support only one ] not viable

Only chance is if somebody with serious money [ over 30 million ] turns up and finances one of the present clubs

Otherwise never happen

I can confirm that Barrow has been in Cumbria since 1974.
