1) The RFU set up the leagues, not the clubs, by definition, the RFU should contribute, I'm sure Darlington Mowden Park who spend £70k a year on travel would not agree with your sentiment 4) You miss my point re the AGP pitches, they DO NOT HAVE ANY MONEY left, so your £75 million (it was actually going to cost £50 million) being better spent and having more of an impact is just not going to happen, that is my point about the mis management and lying to junior clubs about what the RFU were going to do for them 5) Twickenham would sell out if the Dagenham Girls Piper Band played rugby against anyone from another country, the point is the average grass roots supporter is being priced out in favour of the prawn sandwich corporate client who knows absolutely nothing about rugby apart from some guy called Johnny Wilkinson is playing fly half for Engalnd ..... irony in case you misssed it 6) So we sacked all the RDO's, so you as a club go and get more players and do our job for us and we'll reward you, yes your right but that favours clubs in high density population areas, how do Furness RFC get all these extra players? Think that is called discrimination .... 8) Lost revenue by moving games around the country? I suppose you have a point but since the RFU couldn't get an alcoholic p**sed in a brewery, that argument falls on it's face somewhat ... if any of them up there had a half decent business brain, the game would not be in the state it is at the moment 9)"Move with the times" not sure that would stand up in a court of law! .... Yes you're right a survey has gone out but as ever with the RFU, the questions have been loaded so as they get the replies they want so as they can then justify their actions afterwards I note that you've not answered either questions 7 or 10, so you're in agreement with me that GMS is not fit for purpose and all the RDO's should not have been sacked ....

So your club recruited an additional 56 players? Your club now runs an additional 3/4 teams, fantastic. You should contact the RFU immediately, you are so bucking the national trend, they will want to talk to you, so as they can roll out the programme around the country ... Er, it happened over 2 years ago, as most people in rugby know, so there are no questions that are going to be asked .... |

9)"Move with the times" not sure that would stand up in a court of law!
.... Yes you're right a survey has gone out but as ever with the RFU,
the questions have been loaded so as they get the replies they want so
as they can then justify their actions afterwards. Well said CN. I recall a question on the survey about whether you wanted 2nd XV teams to enter the RFU Leagues at Level 8 or above. There was no way of answering "I don't want 2nd XV teams in RFU Leagues". So when they do their stats it will show as a popular move. They do this type of thing regularly with their surveys.

When I have some time I am going to do an analysis of the RFU's financial position as disclosed by their latest accounts. Most may think this is an unnecessary exercise but the RFU's own financial reports are probably the best source of information as an indicator for what is going on or possibly more likely what is going wrong.
The financial small print in the back of a glossy annual report is generally more illuminating than the spin and PR at the front of the report. Often the detail in financial accounts are not transparent to those not used to analysing them. Edited by Big Eddie - 10 Mar 2020 at 14:57 |
