[QUOTE="goodNumber10, post: 699296, member: 71068"] There are millions of people across Britain who would bitterly disagree on that point. You only have to look at this season with West Ham Fourth at Christmas and the fact that Man City only returned to the top flight in 2001-02 as proof that teams can be built if finances can be managed. You also have the excitment of small teams being able to work their way to the top which is something sorely lacking from a lot of other sports (especially SH Union, League and AFL (iirc)). I don't agree with the salary cap being scrapped in English Rugby but you absolutely have to look at these things in isolation and not by comparing it to other sports that have their own unique structure and fandom. Do agree EG is a smary g*t though :) My gut feeling is that Bath or Sarries being found guilty and docked a horrendous amount of points would be hugely disasterous for English rugby, love them or hate them Sarries have done a lot of good for the game in England, I would argue they've raised the profile a lot both commercially and within their local community - they've worked hard at being local club (if that makes sense).
