A merger between the two clubs would make sense on the field, but this is a cost cutting measure and nothing more.

I know!!! Why are you telling me???

What have been your two biggest crowds this year and against which teams ?

7,737 vs Hull FC, (with a very good following from Hull,the best from them and the most either Hull club have brought in 4 years), opening game of the season, and on a sunday afternoon, always attracts a biggish crowd

7,307 vs Wigan ( with a good following from Wigan), again on a sunday afternoon

your point?

You've made it for me with the first line of your post

so because Huddersfield attracted the biggest crowd of the season in their first home game( a game which is usually the biggest gate of the season) on a sunday afternoon, that's proof that every chairman in SL would miss the revenue from both Hull clubs??
strange logic
