[QUOTE="Peat, post: 622926, member: 42330"] Cornwall has a mere half a million and its biggest city is around 20k. Not big enough to source a professional team, no population centres really big enough to sustain one. Lancashire by contrast is about one and a half and if you included Greater Manchester and Liverpool, that would skyrocket. The historic boundaries of Surrey would probably do quite well for themselves. The reality is you will only get moves like this where clubs vote for them, which will only really happen in historic hotbeds without a naturally strong champion. [/QUOTE]
