If Sarries hadnt been relegated ?

I thought the RFU had said no promotion and relegation, with the exception of where clubs had received punishments for rule breaches. Hence Sarries down, Falcons up, and Yorkshire down, Richmond up. So if we’d been bottom, no change.

Had Tigers less points than Sarries they would've been relegated, Sarries went down for less points as a result of being punished. All leagues have promoted/relegated sides this season, the decisions were published last week eg: In Midland 1 East, Syston promoted with Oundle to Midlands Premier, and Melbourne, Olney, Wellingborough all relegated..

I second the above comments.

At the end of the day weve stayed up,by default which doesnt sit right by me and is nothing to celebrate but we have to look forward to next season and hope and pray Borthwick can dig us out of this hole we are in!

Exactly this, very lucky. Big improvement still needed.

Spending the last few weeks and the next couple of months watching re-runs of Tigers in Heineken and Premiership finals is only reminding me how good we used to be - i.e. we were hugely disappointed if we didn't win every final. Just winning any single game seems a cause for celebration these days.

I don’t think staying up by-default will sit will with the squad or the coaching staff either, but then again coronavirus gives them the opportunity to delve into the what-ifs of whether the season had been continued.

In my view, apart from Saracens’ relegation and Newcastle’s promotion, this season should be a write-off and do the playoffs in August if necessary so that Exeter can win their title but even then it should only be given an asterisk.

Just received the following Email from the Club:

Premiership Rugby has today announced the further postponement of the season in the face of the Coronavirus pandemic.

While our weeks without rugby are obviously disappointing, the health and well-being of our players, staff and supporters is the priority and Premiership Rugby will be guided by health experts as work continues behind the scenes to determine how remaining games can be arranged and the season played to a conclusion at some stage in the future.

Your season ticket, of course, remains valid for any re-arranged fixtures at Welford Road and we look forward to seeing you back at the home of the Tigers as soon as it is possible to do so.

Premiership Rugby’s announcement today also acknowledged that the clubs form a key part in their local communities while recognising the difficulties experienced by all of the individuals and the businesses involved in unprecedented times.

The situation is constantly changing, nationally and globally, but we thank you for your loyal support and co-operation as the club continues to plan how the Tigers can to come out of this situation as strongly as possible afterwards.

We will share any further relevant information as soon as it becomes available.

Stay safe.
