[QUOTE="ratsapprentice, post: 711055, member: 67273"] Pro's of promotion/relegation: - Gives teams a motivation to improve with the carrot of a better league (in theory - most teams cannot afford/don't want to) - The "relegation battle" - this is subjective, I don't enjoy it. - Replaces poorer teams with better ones (in theory, happens less often and mostly when a team is "rebounding") Cons: - Encourages defensive, conservative rugby in the bottom 4/6 (depending on tightness of the league) - Teams in the Championship and teams in the bottom half of the premiership cannot hold on to their players because either they cannot get promoted or the fear of relegation. Imagine the position Yorkshire would be in if they could hold on to their players consistently? - Teams can't attract investment and cannot create long term plans. [/QUOTE]
