[QUOTE="higgik, post: 941516, member: 74704"] I think there is one specific word in your comment that sums up why ring fencing is needed. Enjoyment - we are choosing to watch professional rugby union and pay our hard earned cash on it, instead of going to the cinema or other artistic endeavours. Therefore we want to see a product where the excitement is in the skills and not in the fear of being relegated from the league. Also, there is a need to develop the players, so we also need a good geographical spread of teams to help find and develop them. For example, if Newcastle go down, then Sale will be the most Northerly team and vast swathes of the country, including the whole of Yorkshire will be missing from the development structure. [/QUOTE]
