[QUOTE="MightyQuin, post: 85576"] no, I know what you meant - it does look like it's a reaction to Quins being back in the prem, and also looking like they may not last there more than one season!! However, I think it is more to do with Squeaky Rob Andrew taking over at the RFU to be honest - he's been one of the loudest opponents to relegation and how it prevents investement in facilities and the option to risk young English players when clubs premiership status and perceived future (Quins disproved this) are at stake. Also, didn't the first division try and propose no relegation from ND1 to ND2 earlier this year ... any idea what happened to that plan? Would be hard for them to fight the RFU about the rights for promotion / relegation to the premiership if they've just nailed shut their own trapdoor. [/QUOTE]
