There've been various speculative stories over the years about clubs from the English system going to other leagues. Ealing, London Scottish & London Welsh to the URC, Jersey Reds to France are four of the ones I recall within past decade - don't think any of these were ever that close to being realised...

Best bit from the BBC piece:
"promising to "introduce an innovative fan ownership model", offering supporters the opportunity to invest in the club." Deja Vue?

Sadly Ealing will always fall foul of the minimum ground capacity regulation which I believe is Ealing's capacity +1.

Which, of course, should be totally irrelevant.

However, the requirements for the URC are not as strict. So theoretically, a revived London Irish - should one ever come to pass - could sub-let from Ealing and play URC and European matches there, including matches against Premiership opposition. Mad isn't it. |
