Biased, but I think Saints is an excellently run organisation. Their engagement with local clubs and kids is superb.

May be the case now, but as a parent, my experience is thar their approach to children is, at best, poor.

I wonder how many of the England U20s squad came through volunteer led community clubs, National Leagues and the Championship? Heaven forbid that the RFU should invest in clubs outside the Premiership!

Yes but..
Those are TV rights not funding from the FFR to the clubs. I read that more people watch Pro D2 than the football equivalent. Tres bien travaille France! (?) |

Interesting that from this article it looks like French clubs have totally different funding model to English clubs. TV rights and local government make up the bulk. England looks a very sorry state by comparison. I wonder if this is going to translate into French dominance for many years to come.

And only 52% permitted on players, 16 French qualified in match day squads plus up to relegation for financial irregularities

I don’t get it. We put 5 teams out regularly. I gave up at 37 in my prime because the wife reminded me I was self employed and injury would not be acceptable Edited by tulip - 8 hours 59 minutes ago at 17:23 |
