[QUOTE="Tony Manx, post: 514864, member: 50236"] Totally agree with Big Ginger......move to the summer and reduce the numbers would inevitably lead to basketball rugby so beloved of the TV concious SH "supporters" and take away, even further, the principle that rugby is a game for everyone and all shapes and sizes. Take away the "tribal" support of the individual clubs and try to turn them into merged franchises would probably see the death of rugby as a top spectator sport in the NH rather than enhance the skills of those taking part. The Twickenham international crowd would indeed love the changes that you are suggesting but then they are not representative any more of the usual supporters of the game as they increasingly find it more difficult to gain access to tickets and/or get fed up with the football/spectacle fans who are paying for those tickets and lowering the standards!!
