[QUOTE="Norhtern Lad, post: 93845"] If the RFU could choose the club to come up it would be Roth, Leeds or Cornish. It's basically a precursor to franchising. People talk about ringfencing as if it is not already here but think about it. The team coming down from the Prem gets:[list][*]£750,000 parachute payment [*]A place in the guiness 'A' league [*]A certain amount of leiniancy over ground conditions [/list]The RFU is, for better or worse, a business and businesses run on money, something which the only major team in a region would provide a large amount of. I'm just sorry to say that when the trapdoor closes it will strand a lot of ambitious clubs below. And if I must choose a side to go up this year other than my own it has to be Cornish Pirates for the way in which they have developed over the last 3 seasons to be a team which could one day be Prem champion contenders.
