It was quite the thing for a while in the 80s and 90s, wasn't it, for financially strapped clubs to admit defeat (or for ambitious chairmen to push the idea) and merge, some to briefly reach heights they'd never have dreamt of. Rushden and Diamonds, Dagenham and Redbridge. The idea even briefly gained traction in the higher echelons of the league (Thames Valley Royals, anyone, or Fulham Park Rangers?).
If the gloomier predictions of many non-league clubs not pulling through this prove true, will we see another wave of mergers creating new non-league superclubs to rise up the leagues?
