This proposal was put to the Championship clubs last year and they were given a deadline to apply but no club did. So the RFU under the new Prem 2 committee have re issued it. Will the Championship clubs still stand firm. The battle last year included the RFU assumption and Franchise club could apply (Wasps etc). Subject to any club achieving the new criteria. This would allow any club in Nat 1 to apply even if they do not finish in the top 2. However no mention of Promotion from Nat 1 or relegation from Championship. Presumably they are expecting a number of current Championship clubs to fail the criteria.

I know this was about the Premiership 2 but does anyone know any future plans for National 1 rugby? Being from the North East of England I feel the game is dying in this area. At National 1 level the only NE team is Darlington Mowden Park but their situation is unsustainable. All but 3 away fixtures require a night hotel accommodation and some fixtures require 2 nights accommodation. The cost for a club without a rich sugar daddy is very high. Looking at the only premiership club in the North east, Newcastle Falcons, massively in debt and with owners wanting out....the future for Rugby in the north east is looking bleak. I feel the only way for National 1 rugby is to go North and south. This would dramatically cut costs and keep rugby union in the north east......would there be any promotion to the Premiership 2 from Nat 1? |

Can you please substantiate your claim about Newcastle Falcons’ owners “wanting out?”
They’ve said no such thing.
