[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 1027375, member: 58362"] I'm pretty sure that Ealing have passed an audit in the past using someone else's ground, so if they were to win promotion I would expect them to accept it. Pirates' major benefactor announced a couple of weeks ago that he is going to put his hand in his pocket to expidite the building of a "Stadium For Cornwall", but there's no way it will be in place for the start of next season, . If Pirates were to win promotion, the nearest ground that has a chance of passing the PRL audit is Home Park in Plymouth (about 80 miles away), which would make a ground share more difficult, but I'd imagine that they would do everything in their power to find a way of going up. Unlike the others, I don't think that Doncaster have a major benefactor, so playing level 1 would be a bigger ask for them. That said, I think that they intended to accept promotion the year that they lost out to Bristol, so I imagine that there's a plan in place to tick all the PRL boxes. My recollection of the LW situation is that their demise was a result of overspending in persuit of survival. By virtue of having a benefactor, Pirates and Ealing are better placed to make a good fist of promotion, but there's no reason why Donny couldn't go up, live within their means and enjoy their season in the sun. They'd by heavy favourites for demotion if it still exists by then, but could pull survival off based onaa few big results against fellow cellar dwellers. [/QUOTE]
