I know these things rarely have much effect, but what have we got to lose?

Whilst I entirely agree with the sentiments expressed in this ‘petition’, I can see no value in supporting it as it stands. Surely a petition must ask for something specific and achievable - this does not. It comes across as little more than a well meaning whinge and will be undoubtedly dismissed as such, irrespective of how many votes it gains. What, specifically, is wanted of the RFU and/or PRU?

i disagree. Granted the petition may not spell out a specific point or statement but it would be difficult to read a greater criticism of a Sports administrative body . In all of the five paragraphs, there is serious dissatisfaction stated about the RFU stance on many matters. For me this is grass roots rugby expressing serious doubts about the RFU's ability to manage the game below Premiership and England Mens team level. On that level alone, I am more than happy to sign the petition...........

A petition from individuals will have very little impact. The "rebellion" needs come from the Clubs and Constituent Bodies otherwise you are just screaming in to the void.

Don't disagree with the message, just its delivery.

This petition now has 750+ signatures, it may only show the strength of feeling about the actions of the RFU and may not achieve anything else but I for one was happy to sign to register my disapproval.

It would be good if this petition got a few thousand signatures

While I recognise some of the feedback questioning what the petition is seeking to achieve, beyond a non-specific show of anger/dissatisfaction, I have signed it on a 'rather be part of the solution than the problem...' basis.

I sense that some of the powerful voices that have spoken out about this achieves greater impact - see some national media coverage I've posted on the other 'No Promotion' thread...

A bit touchy. Don't see anyone whinging at you just a comment about the petition in your link.
