Quote: Odemwingie "Don't be stupid! Why don't Warrington and Widnes merge for the good of the game then? They are rivals, fans do not want to merge, it cannot be done!
Let them sort it out by themselves and the RFL can help them where needed. As it stands Barrow have what it takes to get into super league if they can get a new stadium or upgrade the exisiting one.'"
The reason is Warrington and Widnes can pull the crowds unlike the Cumbrian sides.
If a professional side can't pull regular 4 figure crowds let alone 5 then what is the point seriously.
2,987 was the
record crowd for a local derby Whitehaven v Barrow.
Whitehaven average crowd for the whole season 1,670
Workington average crowd for the whole season 468
2138 combined

Utter bollox'"
is that because you'd fear for the professional status of Leigh ?
average att 1,984 which to be fair is almost the same as 2 Cumbrian sides combined
