Under Duckworth, Worcester achieved six promotions in six years, built a stadium and built their following from a handful to six thousand.

Exeter did something similar with Tony Rowe's money.

Which proves with the right backing, and hard work, it can be done.

But - and it is a big but - it takes someone willing to invest in the marketing and facilities as much as the players, and there are not that many rugby fans with tens (hundreds) of millions to invest - and the willingness to see it through.

In theory the season is already over and we are all just playing for pride.
Disagree entirely.
Two up, two down for me. Top and bottom of the Champ..
Never going to happen, but that's my view.

I am saying this year we have had no relegation for 2 years now and the excuses are changes to leagues etc. there should always be an option for relegation even if it’s a play off to make sure the bottom club is still better than the next best in the one below.

Blues were also robbed in a one leg semi final at Worcester with a try late on against them which would have been disallowed with a video ref. They even received an apology from the RFU…. Not that that meant anything!
