Only problem with this new concept would be the location of the feeder clubs base. i.e if CT sold WR and the SL franchise was based in GH - Where would CT play ? Same for Wakey - if Belle Vue became housing and the Franchise was based in NM - where would WTW play ?
Agreed - the idea has got legs, but the 3 clubs wouldn't agree to it.
Another main stumbing block would be CT and Fev's reluctance to have anything to do with anything relating to Wakey as a city which I wholeheartedly agree with. Other than sharing the same post code - we have nothing except rivalry, that of which has got a bit out-of-hand lately IMO.
The ground issue would like everything have to be discussed by all relevant parties, but i cant see why all three clubs could not play out of either their present locations if affordable via some funding from the representative SL club.
I'm no accountant but if featherstone can manage on a thousand or two spectators and put out a side like they do, them i'm sure the other two clubs being in larger geographic areas, should be able to.
Both clubs should do what is best for the area and not cling on to being below average, this is not just an opportunity for now, but for the future and future generations of players and supporters.
I certainly aren't for a minute suggesting there aren't any obstacles, there are, but us waiting for you to go pop and likewise you waiting for us to, just so one team can feel all smug for a while doesn't do anything for anyone.
