Wevans, everything I have heard from the RFU refutes that. In January they clearly said that applications to Tier 2 could come from anywhere, including Universities, however, they made it clear that the failed Clubs would have to clear their rugby creditors, demonstrate working capital and have a ground meeting the Tier 2 requirements. None of them are anywhere near that, as far as I an aware.

And yet just over a year ago the RFU offered Wasps with no ground and no players a place in the Championship.

Sorry Halliford my view remains unchanged.

I am in complete agreement with you WEvans, paying off rugby creditors is one thing but what about all the other creditors, the supplier of pies and other catering servives, the cleaners, the tradesmen working on infrastructure, the local printer, the company that hosted and maintained the website, the security guards...........

Even if everyone was paid in full, London Irish, Wasps, Worcester and Jersey should still start at the bottom of the pyramid because Richmond, London Welsh and a fair few other clubs all had to

Exactly. Start at the bottom, or reinvest in the amateur arm clubs they have in the system already. London Irish Amateur, Wasps FC and Worcester RFC (not including Jersey RFC as they said they'd never go pro again) are available, if only the former fans of the sadly liquidated pro clubs at large actually knew that.
