Where do you want to go? Current level 4, were level 2 or 3 - 14 teams (please correct any missing) Tynedale Fylde Ionians v Tigers Leeds Tykes Wharfedale Henley Old Albanian Tonbridge Juddians Cinderford v Redruth Macclesfield Taunton Loughborough Students Current level 2, from level 3 L Scottish Ampthill Hartpury Jersey Caldy Cambridge Chinnor Question for National Two clubs, or anyone, what do you consider to be a reasonable long-term target? With the reliance on Dual Registration, Loan players mixed in with some full time teams and a drip of RFU funding, is The Championship a sensible option? Answers on the back of the last letter from home. PS my personal preference is National One PPS please don't use "Quote" to reply without editing my content. We'll end up with long replies

What I think my galliform friend is asking is: Of the clubs that used to play in the top two levels but are now currently at level 4 - do you find the current level more satisfying, or would you prefer being back in a fully national division. And of the clubs currently - for want of a better word - enjoying life in the Championship, was the rugby better lower down the leagues, would you prefer to be in a regional set up, with potentially less travel and more local derbies |

Do I find visiting real rugby clubs (Leeds Tykes not included), all within 2.5 hrs of home, and watching a good level of rugby, then yes, far better for me.
Glad not to be in Loughborough's league too. I look at the video of Lions v Roth on here and see about 50 people watching - In many cases the game really is not sustainable at national level 3 and we see a drift to where the money is at. The South |

How did London Scottish end up on your list?
Would put them alongside Bedford, Coventry and Nottingham. I imagine their followers feel at home with these ‘old’ friends.

The older I get, the more the RFU leave me confused.
