WOW Good evening a proper debate at last!!
![]() QUOTE=RumoursAreTrueRight?][QUOTE=backrowb]My apologies to the Opinion Police. I sincerely apologise for having one. Inclusively? Did you not read that we are effectively a club that's only been in place a couple of years? The people who put their money into the club now are building for the future. Watch this space. /QUOTE] Alas RATR the very point you make is the very point backrowb is making back at you. Leeds in many of its variants is not a club as such, it was one of those imposed misguided and pushed upon rugby in the late eighties to amalgamate clubs of similar aspirations (sic) into "CITY" clubs to support the new league structure. Another failed RFU initiative. None of them worked. Except Leeds and its many variations/conceptions/re-incarnations were aggressively supported to the detriment and over clubs who had the history, Club presence/playing infrastructure/ ambition/ to be a beacon of rugby. All within the county . Sadly none of those aspirations of Leeds as a UBER club have ever been met. Nothing against Leeds and its many chances' I'm Still amazed on your demotion and interpretation of it. You got off very lightly Well done on your promotion this season. Question: Was it a London Rule only: Professionalism miss-management means level 8 for Richmond/London Scottish/London Welsh/Jersey/Barking All the best ST

Facilities as in the excellent university facilities the club can offer, excellent coaching facilities links with the other University physiotherapy etc etc etc I could go on but you surely get the point by now Knock WPL facilities if you must but not sure anyone has complained about the decent beer the food always goes down well and there's always a pot you can pee in as well ample parking, on behalf of our poor impoverished club I can only apologise for the lack of a footman to escort you to your seat, We have been promised running water and electricity next year Bad form knocking any club for facilities ...and WPL do a very good job and are excellent hosts to us, Apologies to all Nat one clubs expecting sable seat cushions and cashmere blankets next year, hopefully a decent game will suffice, but deffo give the quail's eggs a try at half time 👍 |

I didn't knock WPL's facilities. I suggested that your opinion is debatable. As for the rest of the nonsense you post, I won't comment.

An interesting point is that despite Leeds success in N2N, Leeds have no representation at all in the announced Senior Men's County Squad. Strange?

I heard that their club wouldn't let them.play. Remember when they had Yorkshire in their name. One of their poaching team was at our last home match. Usually part of the coaching team, but having a role change.

That may be the case but remember there is no "dollar" on offer for playing County rugby so I suspect that may be closer to the truth. (Please don't respond with............ "in my day it was an honour to play for your County blah, blah")
Times have changed!

Are county sides not now selected from Level 5 and lower? For last Saturday’s Tamar Cup the Cornwall side didn’t involve any players from Camborne or Redruth.

No, its not. Last season's county champions Kent had a lot of players from Blackheath and Canterbury. I think its level 3 and lower.

It varies depending on which Division the County competes in. It was changed a year or so ago which means that you now see less National 1- level players in particular, but also Nat 2 players as they can only play in Div 1 (or in the U20 comp). Im sure that many of them must welcome the break come May/June. For info below are the regulations from the RFU: Eligible Club: For these competitions: Men Bill Beaumont Division 1 – a Club at Level 3 (National League 1) or below; Bill Beaumont Divisions 2 & 3 (where applicable) – a Club at Level 5 (Regional 1) or below; Women Gill Burns Division 1 – a Club at Level 2 (Championship 1) or below; Gill Burns Divisions 2 & 3 (where applicable) – a Club at Level 3 (Championship 2) or below; U20 Jason Leonard Men’s National U20 Competition – a Club at Level 3 (National 1) or below; England Academy Players or EAP: As defined in RFU Regulation 1;z

And it is based on the level the 1st team plays at and covers all players, even those who regularly turn out for the 3rd XV.
