Quote: Mr. Zucchini Head "I'm not expecting Rovers to get relegated, I think they are the best team in the middle 8s. But say they get to Wembley, and Kelly misses a few games, its entirely possible that they could find themselves facing Leigh in a winner takes all match that in a one off they could lose.
Can the merger possibly go ahead if they are playing in a lower division? I don't see how it can.'"
Why not?
This is a separate entity, nothing to do with where either club plays. It is being funded by both clubs and if Rovers were relegated the last thing they would do is scrap their academy and give up any hope of playing SL again.
Even if Rovers did go down they would be odds on favourites to bounce back with that squad. Youth development is a long term project.
