I am not sure the RFU actually cares, provided it does not cost any more. My guess would be that they have made some promise to restore funding if their finances improve. But that is just speculation. And unless FDR or the RFU publish minutes of the meetings, that is all it will ever be.

As a league of 16 as it stands Think you find it will be top 2 up ..with no relegation from the Champ..meaning its then a 14 team league at National 1 Bottom 3 will go, meaning OEs plus sides in 15th and 14th positions Winners of 2 North and South come up plus play off winner, giving Nat 1 the required 14 sides.

They are at a status quo if LS go (11) or add one next season if they stay (12)
And add the top 2 the season after to get to a 14 team league as well. They will not take anything more than the top 2 up, as freak results could see sides ending up 3rd and 4th and will not be anywhere near Champ standard. |

If a poor side was promoted by fluke, they would be demoted next season. But personally, I do not think there is much of a gap between the top seven sides. It is going to be a very interesting second half of the season.

Not sure how you get to that statement, as 1 team is going up to the Premiership As Kimbo would say any evidence? Edited by Raider999 - 05 Jan 2022 at 19:41 |

What is champ standard? Any team promoted would recruit. Are Ealing prem standard? They will recruit jeez how single minded are the champ teams too comfortable picking up central funding

It's so disappointing to see the ongoing niggle on these pages between the Champ set and those from Nat Lg, with a palpable lack of mutual respect (a 'core value' of rugby last time I checked).
The RFU & PRL must be chuckling at all this squabbling by people who should have far more in common than what divides them. My experience of Nat 2/ Nat 1 was entirely positive & I also enjoy the Championship, in spite of its structural issues...
I thought/hoped the review process would hammer out a way forward, but we're yet to see any evidence of such an outcome, with a still lot of factors seemingly outside the control of those involved. |

I recall watching Raiders beat the mighty Coventry in N1 a few years ago - surprising how som Championship teams supporters forget they have been at lower levels within recent times. |

It's starting to look like a one horse race in National 1 with Park 10 lengths in front with 5 furlongs left to run - playing on the 4G is a definite advantage as we move into boggy pitches and winter conditions.
Ealing have a similar advantage. Assuming Park and Ealing will both be promoted - who else in The Championship plays on plastic??? Is this a definitive list of plastic pitches: Saracens, Newcastle Falcons, Ealing Trailfinders, Rosslyn Park, Loughborough Students????? |

Because this thread is attracting a healthy number of Championship people who are obviously interested in the future of their league and who will be joining from National 1 - I have one more question...
Do promoted Nat 1 sides get any financial support from the RFU to assist them make the transition to a higher standard????
