As you get older you talk more sense😂😂😂For once 😂. I Totally agree with you. Who in their right minds (player/coach/Chairman) would start the season believing they would fail or as a second option, go totally out for it win the title then decide on some bizarre moral grounds and decline promotion. Bonkers!!! The game is struggling already, misplaced martyrdom is not required here. I’m looking forward to another highly competitive National League One. Good luck to one and all. All the best ST

Looking forward to returning to Clifton Lane for a spirited contest anyway.

Depends how you are measuring them.
Comparing with Leeds teams 10-15 years ago for sure, but they were very good last season & see them tearing it up in Nat 2 this season. Only a friendly ( if there is such a thing in Rugby) but, as I say, very encouraging.

A lot of us were pulling for Roth to get promoted instead of Leeds, although we don't tend to get results at Clifton Lane, it's the best away scran in National 1, typified by the unique situation of more people going to get food before going to the bar when we arrive.

Still good then? Always was years ago. Haven't had cause to go to CL for many years now though.

Of course I didn't say that. If clubs want to go for promotion then good luck to them. I was giving my opinion of what clubs would be best advised to do.
Yes that's the purpose of message boards. It allows "all sorts" to express their view. And I'm sure there are many who disagree with me and maybe a few that agree with me. That's the good thing about message boards. It would be rather boring if everyone posted the same view don't you think?

And no problem with that. Just not quite sure why you needed to suggest I had said something I hadn't and then wanted to have a bet on the obvious that there would be people who disagreed with me. But as you so elegantly put it "Takes all sorts I guess".

I have to say that I think DMP could make a challenge this season, last couple of years the scrum has been a bit of a weakness with not many props etc and most games at least one prop playing full 80mins.
It seems them have rectified the above and last seasons ‘weakness’ could be this seasons strength

I was a bit concerned after a raft of changes at Leicester Lions but after watching the game last weekend against a big and useful Luctonians side, I am more confident that they will be competitive in the most challenging of leagues.

What a number of Nat 1 clubs will need to look at will be the criteria for Prem 2 when the details are released, which will require some upgrading for a number of clubs if they want to take the next step.

Knowing the RFU I suspect the criteria for Prem 2 will be released some time in April '25.

I suspect the capacity requirement for Prem 2 will be one less than Wasps can achieve wherever they pitch up next!
