I hope they do merge. It would pave the way for loads of similar merges which would mean the football league could be cut down to a reasonable size. A size where it could be profitably. Four professional divisions is too much. We need 2 max. Best outcome would be one professional league of 10-15 teams, that way there wouldn't be so much of a problem with handing out tv money.
Fuck off.
It would kill the local community aspect of football.
We need more involvement and better integration rather than less teams.
Bollocks. Us and Oxford could merge with Reading to become some sort of Thames Valley Warriors, it would be ace, mean auto promotion and financial stability. We've all got decent grounds and so could alternate which ones we use.
I almost like that idea. But surely City, Rovers, Cardiff and Swansea would end up merging to form some kind of Welsh-ish superpower?! How horrendous would that be!
