Re: Championship Clubs Promotion
My advice to Ealing is:- go ahead and apply for planning permission, this wouldn't be at a massive cost and it would show the RFU they are serious. It may also attract extra fans knowing this and wishing to see Prem rugby. If the RFU stil lsay no, but the Planning Permission is granted, then the cl...

Re: Championship Clubs Promotion
If the criteria is budget, infrastructure, fan base rather than on the field performance than you are talking about US-style franchising which everyone seems to be against. I think that's a really poor comparison. We're talking about championship rugby. Let's compare a couple of clubs, Ealing and D...

Re: Championship Clubs Promotion
I guess this is my issue with Ealing at the moment. They are paying the players and getting in a team that is a fair heft above others in the league but, despite their statements, they are not doing anything to comply with current requirements and nor are their crowds, from my limited knowledge, an...

Re: Championship Clubs Promotion
Sums up rugby for me, we'd rather argue about what we don't have than bring in what we do have. Two clubs with say 5k stadiums is an extra 10k bums on seats every weekend and an additional game every week for TV/Marketing/ Sponsors. Fact alert: Ealing can't even manage a steady average of 1000. The...

Re: Championship Clubs Promotion
Is this part of their victim narrative too https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/rugby/ealing-trailfinders-wales-rfu-block-promotion-b1060825.html#:~:text=Ealing%20had%20pledged%20to%20sue,continue%20to%20play%20in%20London. They haven't actually done either of those things, have they? They haven't appe...

Re: Championship Clubs Promotion
This club statement would suggest they do https://www.ealingtrailfinders.com/news/club-statement-rfu-minimum-standards A statement like that doesn't have to reflect the true feelings or ambitions of the ownership. That's just PR language that reinforces the victim narrative. See my post above. For ...

Re: Championship Clubs Promotion
Simple question. Do Ealing Trailfinders honestly want promotion? Compare their attendances to teams like Bedford, Coventry etc and it seems they don’t have a decent fan base: yes they have loyal fans but look at their website, it just doesn’t look like a club that is ready for promotion though if t...

Re: Championship Clubs Promotion
Just had a thought one of the problems with promotion for Champinship Clubs is ground size, not supporter size. In the past Prem Clubs have ground shared with Football Clubs I.e. Sarries London Irish Wasps London Welsh. Why has no one thought about Championship Clubs Ground Sharing with Prem Clubs ...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)
Has our academy been the worse in terms of wing production? Looking at saints Slightholme, Freeman, Hendy all rapid, We just seem to struggle getting Wingers from academy to first team. Even Simmons wasn't a winger in age grade. Hopefully Satala and Kinder both live up to promise. I may be wrong bu...

Re: News story on concussion
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68713327 Football seems to be starting to have issues of their own on concussion. The research around heading and degenerative brain injury in football has been going on for some time but has lacked the traction as most of those affected have been long retired. ...
