Only in place of Blackheath if they fold after relegation.😉😂😂 Are you speaking in an official capacity as a secretary of a National 1 club or do you know any facts ?  I’d say neither  Look very close at the RFU rules and regs!

Now I do know there are a lot of players who do a lot for the love of the game, most of the mercenaries will be in the higher echelons of the game. Good for you. Times change. Why not do us all a favour and build a time machine and travel back if it was that good.

Will Redruth be looking forward to the long trip up to Leicester? Lions are on fire just now, they might not be able to get to the top now, but they might just have a say in who does.

Going to Leicester Lions needing 5 points is not an easy task. They are tough at home!

Followed the top with interest living in Cornwall and as a Cornwall/ Plymouth Albion fan with Redruth challenging again at the top end. It's a shame the second place play off isn't there, even in the north as Rotherham and Sedgley are fighting for second and it would be a good match.

If as it seems Esher will win the league now then fair play to them getting back, that end of London is easy for us to get to. It will be nice to see Esher back as a good club. Be careful what you wish for! Not too many weeks ago Albion were relegation contenders so it may have been them replaced by either Redruth or Rotherham

Looking forward to visiting our friends at Plymouth again, although I hope it won’t be our Christmas “Derby” match as it was in 2018!

Sorry about that Darth, I did fancy Barnes to win before Saturday, the confidence continued from our win the previous week, Henley didn’t seem their normal skilful self, failing to capitalise at the end of the first half when camped on our line, and spilling the ball too many times, 12-12 at the break, but in the second half we played some of the best rugby I have seen us play all season, coast to coast, forwards and backs mixing it up well, and with confidence, made me wonder where it has been for the last few months

well to summarise/repeat my position - I started watching rugby at Worthing just over 10 years ago and have been repeatedly impressed by the standard/ competitiveness and commitment shown by both sides - a occasional mismatch but a rarity. So really hope this will not be compromised by this reshuffle

Sweaty. I believe next season will see a number of miss matches, for all the new comers good will. This I fear may have an effect on our very good gates =loss of revenue. How that balances with what ever savings we make on travel will only be seen this time next year. Personally I think the changes are a farce.
