12 teams is just foolishness. For those of us who cannot travel, that's 11 home games to watch - about every 3 weeks. You end up supporting another club if only to see some rugby. In my case Bury St Edmunds Having said that, for the supporter, 16 teams is best

The notion of a 14-team Championship for 24/25 is a red herring, I'm convinced. There may have been no definitive statement along those lines by the Champ, but Nat Lg teams have been told how the land lies, and I'd be astonished if this curveball was about to be unleashed...

Yet the RFU have been making it clear at all times that the changes to Tier 2 are for 25/26.

14 makes sense if only for value for money for members and sponsors - and treasurers

That is the plan of record. However, I understand that the negotiations about the Championship are ongoing. It looks like the worst of the RFU's ideas have been avoided, but nothing is settled. And at least some of the Championship clubs wanted a 14 team league from next season.

This was communicated via NLR in December. Don’t your Clubs pass that info on to members?

Not sure why you guys are getting your knickers in a twist???
RFU announced before Christmas that there would be NO relegation from the Championship so 1 up from Nat1 to make 12 in the Champ Therefore Only 2 Down from Nat1, 3 promoted from Nat 2 to give 14 in Nat1 And Only 5 relegated from the 3 NAT2 leagues (best placed 13th survives - currently a bun fight between Wimbledon, Hull Ionians, Newport (Salop) and Dudley K only 1 of whom will remain at Level 4 And so on thereafter down the leagues (1 survivor at every level - all due to the demise of Jersey)

You are talking as though someone in the RFU actually cares about the National leagues.

Am I correct in thinking only 2 teams to be relegated this season (as a result of the demise of Jersey).
Or is this still awaiting the resolution of the mess that is the Championship? |
