Don’t often visit this site .My club departed the National Leagues some seasons back .I watch a Premier league club,a level3 side and level 6.
I enjoy them all but I am immensely hacked off with the 9 home games in the Premiership.
I could put up with it if there was any semblance of a plan or at least a vision but nothing
The loan to Newcastle is just finger in the dyke stuff.The lack of jeopardy and new blood is killing the competition.
The RFU are distracted by the grass roots rebellion andPRL are just self interested and incapable of driving change.This house of cards could collapse this summer impacting the whole game.
The title of this thread seems as far away as ever.

I certainly think that I'm not alone in my feelings towards promotion and relegation within Prem supporters and even Falcons fans.

I do watch DMP and Billingham regularly, as well as Middlesbrough who are looking good for promotion from Regional 2 North. I agreed that Nat 1 is very competitive and throws up some great games. Looking forward to a few more planned trips over the next few weeks to Caldy, Chinnor, Coventry and Nottingham.

I would argue there's so much more to club rugby in England than what the Prem serves up.

Worcester Facebook - foregone conclusion? No players yet.

"Worcester Warriors continue to engage with the Tier 2 Board of the RFU to satisfy the requirements of entry to the league.

If successful, we are working towards a very tight timescale to ensure we are fit for purpose to play competitive Rugby for the 2025/26 season, alongside all of the other components that need to be in place to ensure we have a great product at Sixways. 

Naturally, we have welcomed support from various organisations and individuals, however, we have not issued any contracts of employment at this stage."

Further on in the Facebook posts came the comment that Premiership loan players will be used to make up a team.

Seemingly there are no contracts currently being issued by the new Worcester owners at present, gossip has it they are struggling to get past the minimum requirements to be allowed into the league structure.
