[QUOTE="Booboobang, post: 1154400, member: 86230"] The basis of the pyramids sucess is mainly down to top 14 clubs coming together and collectively bargaining and then sumplementing the second division with that deal with the view that a structure that allows for movement up and down more likely to bring ivestors if they feel they can actually get a club into the top division (they were right). FRU obviously made the whole thing more sustainable by implementing Jiff as well.
