The big question is will Chinnor and Cambridge allow the other Championship clubs in, will be have to buy in and what will be that price with you both being the rights holders of the competition? Wink

Personally I think the Championship clubs should have stuck at it and persuaded TNT to back them.  TNT loved Blues having a good go at Bath and Knights turning over Sale.

The clubs who played got better fixtures this year than last.

It does get boring playing the same clubs 4 or 5 times a season! First time I have said this but I may prefer a 16 club Championship in that case without a cup.  Even if it will create more mis-matches and more one-sided games at least we see someone different.

If people want a 3-minute summary of this story without helping pay the salary of the person who wrote it, it's covered by the guy who wrote it on the Times podcast The Ruck - scroll to 57 minutes into yesterday's episode... a fairly blunt assessment of where this leaves Prem/Champ relations.


it's usually a pretty good listen, altho' the majority of this episode got pretty technical about Ireland & France ahead of 6N decider, hence offering you the time-stamp for the Champ discussion.

I concur with this, better to influence from the inside. What were the Champ expecting the response to be? This basically gives the Premiership exactly what they wanted anyway.
