Now that is a far more sensible and practical solution to this ailing minority sport which oddly, despite being widely published locally as 'the best sport (and fans) in the world' still hasn't caught on outside of parts of Yorkshire and a bit of the old Lancashire boundary.
They wouldn't need both grounds though. It would be sensible to relocate to somewhere neutral. I hear Melton has ideal development potential for teams with ambition.
And dare I suggest they play the Robin-o-drome of whatever they call it in Marfleet? Purpose built RL stadium with that authentic 'rough n ready' feel about it? Then we could also see more summer concerts at the KCOM into the bargain. What's not to like ?
Just in case anyone thinks it’s a serious proposal, it wasn’t, it was actually just something suggested by a bloke called Mick on Twitter.
I happened to be in Toronto when some of the polyester clad hordes (almost a dozen or so) from somewhere close to the M62 (can’t remember who, the adverts worn as shirts all blend into one) arrived to watch their heroes play against the English Super League team Toronto Wolfpack. Toronto is a pretty cool and sophisticated place...there was a contrast. To be fair there might be something in this merger idea though. Canada is less populated than the UK, but is more populated than the M62 sliver that the Super League calls home. Maybe if the game gets popular in Canada there could be more Canadian teams created and all the English ones could merge into one and compete in Canada, and near the M62 when the Canadian teams visit? “Coming Saturday...your very own Toronto Wolfpack vs The M62 Pie-eaters. We understand the visiting fans from United England are all staying in their usual accommodation, the spare room at Vera & Dave’s house. Thanks again to them, and their bed sponsors Maple Leaf Structural Strengthenings - ‘No weight too big’ Until then grapple fans, stay safe”
I thought that Gateshead just moved to Hull with it being a merger in name only, Gateshead being good n'all unlike Hull FC.
