Would this be across the board or just professional rugby? |

The interesting sentence was Premiership to be reduced to 10 teams. 1 up/1 down with playoff between 9th/2nd. Therefore Chamionship willneed to align its season with Premiership. ------------- Sweeney Delenda Est |

well yes, but so would therefore N1 with the Championship and so on... however, after the initial heart attack I realised that this is the musing of one person and not a leak... ------------- keep the faith |

In RL, professional and semi pro, so SuperLeague, Championship and League 1 all had to go to summer at the same time. No gangway between that and the amateur game so BARLA clubs (everything below) stayed winter. ------------- keep the faith |

There's a lot more than just BARLA below that level - and plenty of it playing in summer leagues.

Absolutely true, but the point was they weren't forced to move to the summer because there's no gangway. Some leagues did, some didn't, but bluntly below League 1 what they did was irrelevant to the pro/semi-pro game because no club was having to move between the two by promotion or relegation... Whereas absent a closed shop in RU, logically if the top moves then everyone moves. Or, those clubs at the top who it suits say "oh this is going to cause you little people some pain, why don't you accept a closed shop with you on the outside of it for your own good....?" Which is trebles all round for the chairmen of clubs at levels 1 and 2.
