[QUOTE="gingergenius, post: 462655, member: 33219"] bunch of wankers. Scots have used my club (Richmond)'s ground for years. We both took advantage of the professional era and got our way into the Premiership. We both went bust and dropped down 9 tiers in the English league system. For the first five years or so, Richmond were on the same level as Scots, getting promoted every season. Richmond, in light of lessons learnt from the 90s, have a strict amateur policy. We currently sit in National 2 South, and this season me and the club are very proud of a record of Played 8, Won 8, Bonus Points 8. Still without paying any players. Scots, on the other hand, began paying players a few years ago, which accelerated them up the divisions. They also poached our head coach, Brett Taylor, right at the beginning of the season a few years ago. It was nice to see him on the sidelines coaching lowly Barnes as we spanked them 36-13 away from home in early September. Anyway, Scots are trying to buy their way back into the top league, and it's ****ing pointless. They're a nothing club, their mini and youth section is weak as. Richmond have produced two Armitage brothers, Joe Simpson, Dominic Waldouck and Tom May among others. They won't be able to sustain a Premiership team, they have neither the fans nor the [I]actual [/I]club to back it up with. [/QUOTE]
