There was no 'getting around the rules'. When LW went to the Premiership, that team were the lone entity. They are the ones that disappeared. The 'original club' was always the other teams.

If less travel is part of the objectives why not consider Nat 1 to be two conferences North and South, which is what the Championship is discussing. At present Nat 1 is becoming London Dominated and the cost of travel is horrendous for Northern clubs especially if the RFU reduce it further or even cancel it.

More propaganda in favour of ringfencing in TRP today. Lead article is a self interested rant by the Gloucester owner. I suppose he has to protect his business interests.

Just to expand on this, the club (comprising the Amateurs, Occies, women, minis & juniors etc) wasn't liquidated. The professional entity - London Welsh Rugby Football Club Limited - was. Where you draw the line between the entities is blurred - of course the 1st XV was part of the club, but it was a separate limited company with its own (limited) assets and (extensive) liabilities. At that point the Amateurs became the defacto 1st XV by virtue of being the most senior team at the club. But good luck unpicking the history of those 20 years between the formation of the first limited company (I can think of at least three) and the liquidation of the last one, the transfer of assets to the CASC, and the legal and RFU definition of what a rugby club is.

Mark Nottingham did a similar thing when we had to move from Ireland Avenue and the championship was started by the RFU Council , the whole club i.e members players mini and juniors etc were advised of the thinking and a meeting was held for everyone to discuss and vote on the proposal of setting the 1st team up as limited co to protect the rest of the club and its assets if the whole crackpot idea of the championship blew up |

That cannot be correct as it starts this September. Still totally unbalanced with 2 breaks before Christmas and 5 afterwards

It is correct. The “2020-21” fixture list is an example. It will be introduced in 2021-22 season.

If the 2020-2021 season isn't completed, will the new League Structures still be implemented in 2021?
Saying that, I'm assuming that the Council will approve the structure that's been set out of course.

Surprised no Christmas match, they (for Bedford anyway) as the biggest gate of the season.

There hasn't been any Christmas Holiday league matches at those levels for years.

I don’t think the likes of Cambridge have played league matches at Christmas
Still confused, by 2021/22 am reading Championship will be two conferences, 14+8 fixtures. So no difference to the 22 matches currently played. But an open draw cup? R16, Quarters, Semis and Final. But love or hate the current cup delivers 3 extra home matches. |

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

Perhaps they should try, Blues go from around 2,500 - 2,750 to 5,000 to 5,500, a good income generator.

I think it's designed that way to give players time with their families. Our club, as with many others hold annual charity games on Boxing Day.

I wonder how far down the leagues you can play festive games at?
Bedford i suspect attract players from Ath, Queens etc to watch a game. Harlequins game at Twickenham attracts players from a lot of the commuter belt, bumped into Luton players at Big Game, out for post Christmas drinks. With marketing maybe a club like Cambridge could attract a bigger crowd. But below National 1 how many clubs are the only club in a district, or the secondary club? |
