[QUOTE="McTallshort, post: 575551, member: 53362"] All based on existing clubs with good support, although the "London Clubs" are really franchises who survive only through rich benefactors and investors. The only big team in the Birmingham area during the advent of professionalism was Mosley for whatever reason they didnt manage the transformation and now it would take a massive investment to get it anywhere near AP standards, this could happen because Sarries managed it but it would have a massive risk involved as there is no reason to think more supporters will come and you could end up with a Sarries or a London Welsh. There are loads of clubs in Birmingham but they are good smaller local clubs and this is where you will find most rugby people on a Saturday. [/QUOTE]
