| Quote ="D.D."Well, when you think about it, it was undoubtedly a catalyst for Hull FC re-emerging as a big club and it's doubtful if they had ever had the Challenge Cup of 2005 and the Grand Final of 2006 in their history books if it had not been kick started by the merger.'"
The merger saved us from starting over again in the lower leagues, (and some beligerance from the East of the city)
the move to the KC was a catalyst to our SL highs, Agar is at fault for the lows! |

Please stop using the M word, it wasn't a merger in any way form or shape.

If you call playing one game half a season then you are probably right. |

You do realise that it was the Gateshead board that made the decision to abandon Gateshead and stick with Hull, don't you? How could they 'rape' themselves? 
Daft lad.  |

I see that most contributors are happily ignoring the point made in the second post on the thread.
Without the merger neither Hull nor Gateshead would have survived. I'm not sure of the details regarding Huddersfield and Sheffield, but I believe they were in a similar position.
Would those opposed to the mergers really have preferred to lose as many as 4 clubs instead?

These are the people that argue against mergers because they "lose clubs", yet don't realise that they'd lose more if they didn't in some cases. |

Well gateshead and sheffield both have their clubs back now, and as someone earlier said, are probably somewhere near where they would be in the league had they somehow managed to continue without merging.
I think the worse thing about the whole situation is the simple fact that clubs get themselves into that position in the first place, be it fault of their own or lack of interest in the sport.
