Why do people think the end goal is to merge us with Ilkeston? What sense does that make? I agree we need to be sceptical, and I will only support a short term base at Ilkeston. However, I cannot see the sense in moving a club with more potential than Ilkeston to an area where they can’t get more support.
Wimbledon to Milton Keynes worked to some degree because London was saturated with clubs and Milton Keynes is a big place with fewer draws from the outside (not like that was right). Ilkeston has little pull in an area containing Derby, Notts Forest and County. Scunthorpe has more potential than that.
