I think they will finish second bottom and not get relegated, does that mean they will Just have another season of struggle next season? Would they not be more competitive in the second division? Surely the fans must be sick of watching them lose |

Don't they change squads about four times per season? I remember when they were involved in Seaton Carew and I'm pretty sure another club from that level were affiliated with them as well.
I hate to sound harsh but they honestly bring nothing to the league.

An excellent point, I totally agree. I don’t think they pay for the pitch They do pay for it thats the problem |

I think it’s the hub holding West End back . Souless facility. All they can make is gate money. While the hub rakes it in
Prices for food as a spectator are way too high. They need to be making money from their own bar on food and drink. Something they can’t do there. Not against 4g pitches totally a lot of clubs may be wishing they had one with all this shit weather. Be interesting when we go to Penrith on Saturday as that’s a Stadium with 4g now but totally different to a hub.

I understand West End have now submitted their resignation to the league and will be folding at the end of the season.
Looks like a merge with RCA is happening, Unsure of how that will look at this point though.

That makes sense but wonder which ground they will use and what division they would play in, that if rca are not relegated. Do teams have to resign when mergeing? |

I think it will be based out of RCA's ground. No idea about divisions or anything like that. I think the fact West End are resigning was going to happen either way. From what i can gather "merge" might be a little strong, I think its more a few players moving from 1 to another. |

Think you are right, could well be just players from west end as well as management and comittee going to rca en mass. A meger would mean a name change surely, thats how rca themselves were formed |

How will this effect promotion/relegation clubs from Wearside/NA/NR leagues?

How will this effect promotion/relegation clubs from Wearside/NA/NR leagues? It might actually help the FA out. 1 less team to worry about with a restructure. Div 2 is already running at 22 before any promotion/ relegation's. It looks like Alnwick, Grangetown BC & 1 from the WL will come up. Plus you have the issue of Marske and where they could potentially end up. You could see Div 2 running with even more teams next year if there are no lateral moves, and that seems very unlikely. |
