Premiership II plans announced

That was a great period for Championship Rugby and it borders on criminal how that was not built on.

Also nothing compares with club rugby at proper Rugby grounds.

 Incidentally, in addition to having the football ground audited, we had to have a second ground audited, just in case the first choice was unavailable. Even then the panel voted on it and it was tied at 5-5 before under immense pressure from the media they allowed our promotion. This was our second promotion to the Prem (2003) but the atmosphere at the football ground was no comparison to what it was at Clifton Lane in our first year up there (2000/01) with 4,000 shoe horned into Clifton Lane to see us beat Saracens in the Prem. Then all back to a raucous club house ( as per example videos posted above 10 or so years later) 

and still to this very day)

So we also know exactly how it feels to win the league, get rejected and  then have to go and play at a football ground and do it all again the following season.

This is why I believe there must be a change at the top of the game. The powers that be had a great opportunity even back in 2014 to do something special but didn’t build on it.

A new broom is needed, not as Trigger hilariously referred to in Only Fools and Horses, which, according to him was about 7 different handles and eight new brush heads.

In essence, a new broom must be completely new not the “same one or even a modified version”, otherwise it would just be the same protectionism, just different people administering it. 

To make wholesale changes to the structure or anything else must be done by a new small elected committee totally unconnected with the current regime.

I sincerely hope you get promoted this year and wish you well.

Absolutely Kimbo but in Ealing's case I would suggest that according to Sweeney and his mates they will always be one short of whatever the entry criteria is be in ground capacity or anything else.

Utter ballsacks.
