Sensible suggestion but think things have moved on.

LW v different these days as all the FC buildings have been removed. It’s not a white elephant for Nuns as it’s generating significant income for them. The pitch they were playing on before was so far away it was bizarre. It’s also costing them next to nothing.

Their problems on the pitch aren’t related to LW. They were taken over by the junior section for three years and made a virtue of providing their own players. It was a disastrous experiment. This hasn’t worked and along with poor recruitment last summer and a large number of injuries means they can’t compete. Its poor but it is what it is.

In an ideal world maybe football and rugby could share facilities but I think memories of what Ian Neale did will last a long time. Even Smurthwaite acknowledged that in the end!
