Here's a thought.

Lincoln City and Boston United. In their own ways they are having difficulties. Perhaps a solution could be unification of both clubs and have a Lincolnshire United. Lincoln would get a better team and Boston would have somewhere to play.

The single most wonderful post there has ever been on this mad, mad forum.

So many people have come and gone, their faces fade as the years go by.
Yet I still recall as I wander on, as clear as the sun in the summer sky.

A Sheffield City team?
A Bristol United?
A Nottingham Rovers?
Liverton?
What about a Boston United? (one without a Boston Town)

1881 Formation of Ilford FC

1886 Formation of Leystonestone FC

1900 Formation of Walthamstow Avenue FC

1949 Formation of Dagenham FC

Then the madness starts ...

1979 Leytonstone FC merge with Ilford FC to become Leytonstone & Ilford

1988 Walthamstow Avenue are absorbed into Leytonstone & Ilford

1989 New merger club renamed from Leytonstone & Ilford to Redbridge Forest

1992 Dagenham merge with Redbridge Forest to become Dagenham & Redbridge

Yes, there in the Football League now. But they're not particularly successful or well supported. And how many years of tradition have been sacrificed?

And here was me thinking that it would only be the travelling distance that would put the idea in the bin.  :dan

The thing is, in business this would probably happen. Financially, it would sense in a lot of cases. One team in Bristol, Sheffield etc

I know its poss been mentioned before but would BOSTON benefit from only having ONE senior club. I know cries of 'it'll never happen' will go up. MV is a great fund raiser!

There must have  been deep reasons  for the split 50 years ago . . I  don't think small town feuds ever heal  sadly .
