I don't know if a merger would make things better or not. I believe a requirement for ECNL admittance is control of fields by the club. I also believe club size and history of performance are also examined. Perhaps a merger would allow them to enter into better opportunities. Difficult to say.
I think a merger, if it were to happen, would have little to do with the Senior Team and more to do with both clubs realizing that their current situation is less than desirable and that together, they could solve a lot of their individual issues. It remains to be seen if they can iron out an agreement.
