Promotion

Just think this is really poor timing and form from Ealing. I think any reasonable observer can say Newcastle had the league sewn up. They weren’t losing any matches other than maybe against Ealing and they would’ve needed to lose at least another 2 matches even if they lost that. Ben Ward also claimed Ealing had a game in hand against YC. Well Newcastle still had to play them too? Given all of the financial difficulties clubs are about to face I just think some common sense can be applied here and threatening to sue the RFU at a time when clubs up and down the country will needs some financial support is an incredibly selfish approach to the situation. 

Notwithstanding, it’s not a good look.

If false, equally disgraceful behaviour by TRP.

Note, the "Game in hand" statement refers to the fact that the Ealing vs. Leeds match was cancelled in round 15, while Newcastle played their match in round 15. I think there was a virtually nil chance of anyone catching Newcastle, but it was closer than the 18 point margin looks. Ealing had 18 wins, 2 losses and a draw in all competitions - a pretty tidy season.

We all love the game of Rugby.....we all want our teams to do well......promotion and glory are so important to so many........

But look at the bigger picture.......over the next 4-5 weeks thousands of people could die in the UK, families devistated by the loss of life, communities wrecked by unemployment. Just look at what is happening in Italy and Spain.........We all love Rugby, the game will still be there in months to come whilst many people will not.

If lawsuits proliferate it will only line the pockets of dispicable lawyers........

Into the second day of Prohibition.....looking for a Speakeasy 

Certain clubs are resigned to the Championship and have no ambition ( and I understand why and just how difficult it is  ) I think that Ealing Trailfinders chance of ever making the Premiership is behind them . The gap is wider than ever.

I am extremely proud of my club and what they achieved and we have been blessed with a financial backer like no other. Twenty years of investment into the team and the facilities . I think that if they take the RFU to task over their running and administration of leagues it is well deserved and someone really needs to do it.
