I haven't looked at it. On principle I reject anything which requires me to surrender private data on an unqualified basis.

I don't know - you can have some fun with the open enders (I just have). 

What I found particularly frustrating was the assumption that there's anything they could do to make me watch Championship rugby that wouldn't involve the club I support being in the Championship.

I do this for a living - £10-15k max assuming it's being done externally. However, it's very much the sort of thing that most people ought to be able to do internally. 

Nothing positive ever seems to result.

Not doing it again.

They will not take a blind bit of notice!

Exactly.

The RFU can't really win. If they issue a survey, people criticise it, if they don't issue a survey, people complain they have not been consulted. 

In essence you are cutting off your nose to spite your face. 

. 

Agree. It's boring, we've heard it all before, and it never feels like anything is going to change, but never pass up an opportunity to feed back to the RFU. 

If nothing else, if the feedback is particularly splenetic it can have the benefit of making you feel better! 

I gave them both barrels in the open ended text boxes this morning. Is it going to change anything? No. Have I had my say regardless? Yes. 

Can't support that unless it's part of a whole game solution that expressly addresses the gap that will create/widen between levels 2 and 3. And that's not self-interest speaking, I'd have the same issue if dealing with that gap moved it to between levels 3 and 4. 

We need to come up with a smooth pathway from level 9 to level 1 (9-2 as an absolute minimum). While I favour central contracts for England players, I can see the need for a professional club tier to give them game time. I'm unconvinced that there's a need for as many pro clubs as are currently in the premiership, never mind trying to get to 20. I think the future is a smaller, better professional game, and a more equitable settlement for the rest of the game (or, to put it another way, virtually everyone who plays or is involved in rugby in any capacity in the country).

I don't think any solution should involve shovelling the sport's money into the mouths of the Championship clubs at the expense of the other 2000 clubs. 

A small increase in the number of haves vs the enormous number of have nots is not a win for me.

Championship to remain semi-pro.

Having completed this survey they do ask for the first part of your postcode, and at the end ask if you would like to enter your email address to take part in a draw for tickets to a RWC warm-up match.  No requirement to enter your email so you can submit your survey without doing so.

We need to agree on the basics. Reduce costs, travel time whilst balancing out the 'right' number of fixtures.

We need to understand what the purpose of the Premiership and Championship are. My view is to serve the national team and I would support central contracts. 

I don't think the game can afford twenty top teams, either financially or quality wise to ensure competitive leagues. 

We must ensure that promotion and relegation remains the bedrock of any league system, and based purely on field achievement without imposing restrictions on ground capacity etc. 

Saying all that I don't think a national league structure suits all and some alternatives should be investigated for those that want it. 

The problem is with those that use surveys the way a Huckleberryly Pear uses a lamppost, for support not illumination.

Thanks to A.E. Houseman, and others.

Look at football since Prem League

92  clubs. 4 league’s.

Biggest changes. Football national North/South since 2004.

Last change 2017 saw a second Southern League Premier.

The same questions kept coming up.

Improving atmosphere 

Improving quality of rugby

Improving facilities 

More young English players

Promotion

Closer games

They are all going to receive high percentages. But are they going to dictate any long term strategy and planning. Doubt it.

Championship to be turned into prem academy league with all matches played at prem stadiums.

The RFU listened to its supporters who said they wanted to see more young English players in stadiums with better facilities in closely contested exciting matches.

I'm a tad cynical 

Was this devised by Vladamir Putin?

We want to know what your thinking and if it corresponds with our thinking.

As tigerburnie has said there are increasing signs of the onfield football beaviour you mention happening in rugby and sadly I see almost every one of your "respect of the laws, respect of how they are interpreted, respect of your opposite number, respect of your team mates and above all respect of the officials" codes being broken in just about every professional rugby match I watch nowadays.

And personally I don't want to see my sport exploited. I'd rather just see it run properly.  

Recent example England v Ireland and Freddie Stewards card, which was rescinded after the game was lost(England would probably have still lost though)
