What is interesting is the third paragraph of the torygraph article that mentions a mooted playoff between the bottom placed Premiership side and the top place Championship side, that's a new one! https://www.msn.com/en-gb/sport/football/premiership-rugby-unveils-new-derby-weekend-with-internationals-players-as-fixtures-released/ar-AA1e0GO3?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=17eb4ef35616447b9f07f302fb165eb0&ei=17" rel="nofollow - Premiership Rugby unveils new ‘derby weekend’ with internationals players as fixtures released (msn.com)

Mentioned when the league fixtures came out 2-3 weeks ago. (Subject to the significant 'criteria' asterisk * of course...) https://www.championshiprugby.co.uk/news/article/202324-fixtures-announced-champ" rel="nofollow - https://www.championshiprugby.co.uk/news/article/202324-fixtures-announced-champ

The significant point as I understand it is: "A two-leg play-off for promotion to the Premiership will then take place on the weekends of 31 May-2 June and 7-9 June between the top placed team in the Championship (provided it meets the minimum standards criteria) and the last placed team in the Premiership." I understand that Donny are the only club in the Championship which presently meets the minimum standards criteria so ho'way Donny do your best lads. ------------- Dont kick it. Pick it up and GO FORWARD. |

I fully expect those MSCs to 'change' at some point in the forthcoming season. Cynical, me??

You may well be right Sg The fact that Donny passed the criteria in early '23 doesn't mean they would pass again 12 months later...
The fact that Ealing didn't pass the criteria in early '23 doesn't mean they wouldn't pass again 12 months later... The fact that no other Champ clubs applied in early '23 doesn't mean they wouldn't apply 12 months later...

| The bit I like and should bode well for the game as a spectacle, the league games do not clash with England games, so the first team really will be just that for a change. |

| The MSc might change, yes... and other clubs who didn't pass, or didn't apply, might seek to improve their facilities in a bid to pass next time. Theoretically I guess Donny's facilities might deteriorate so they'd no longer pass, but that seems far less likely. |

I can reassure you that we maintain our facilities very well, so no fear of deterioration. ------------- Onward and Upwards C'mon Donny! |
