[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 1103817, member: 58362"] Unfortunately, it's hard to prove it because player numbers are collected by incompetents and were fudged, but I can't imagine anyone arguing that it's not. Here in Cornwall, a couple of teams within 3 miles of me have folded and you often hear of fixtures cancelled or postponed because teams can't raise a side. My club's second XV finally got accepted to enter a side into the leagues and have already had a match cancelled on them. I think it has to have an effect on the bigger picture - today's players are tomorrow's coaches, committee men and spectators. [/QUOTE]
