In the days before the game took the money we had first class clubs who were "by invitation only", you could not get higher in the Merit tables, junior clubs could not climb higher, so in reality nothing has changed. It was a closed shop then and it still is, evolution is not going to change things, a revolution is required, starting with a broom going through the RFU, proper financial scrutiny of the finances at national and club level. We aren't communists, so the money is never going to be shared out equally, or even amicably, but it would be nice to know who has the dosh and where did it go.

I wasn't aware that they had laid down criteria for entry (yet) to Prem 2. Is that the case, or are you surmising that Prem '1' criteria will be carried down to Prem 2? (Cov qualify already on capacity and much else btw. It would be a matter of having plans in place for the nonsense expansion to ratify that following the necessary examination by the powers that be. I'm not saying they'll apply, but I'd be very surprised if they don't).

Fine words butter no parsnip.
This section caught my eye.
What brand identity? Ask the man on the Clapham omnibus if he had heard of the Championship, his answer would be no or a reference to the Football version.

The value may well be 6d, but if there is any, or if some can be created it should be exploited - for example by getting a sponsor or a TV contract for the league.
