Will National 2 North have to absorb both Hull & Leeds Tykes for season 23/24?
If so how? |

Someone will probably have to go west, Chester probably although South might be less miles to travel.

Yes, unless either Club calls it a day (Yorkshire Clubs have been wondering which one might go first). Chester are already expecting to make way should both stay with us.

Yes, I too have heard various rumours but without any solid varification. There are rumours again of the two Hull clubs merging, whilst few see the point of Leeds continuing. No assets, no ground, relying on students to field a side etc. Also whats happening with Otley. A good season on the pitch but supposedly they have sold CXross Greem for a retirement home / villager but with no signs of their proposed new ground or indeed, the Otley by pass. Anyone with more solid information? |

The implication of last summer’s restructure was that every summer the Leagues would be redrawn on the basis of distance, dependent on promotion and relegation. It could be very difficult to predict how that will play out unless you have the RFU Competitions Map. I have a Roman Road Map of England, that might help!

Which sides will come up to Nat2, maybe there's another side from that well known west country county Leicestershire?

Otley are likely to be at Cross Green for (yet) another season.

Well, at the end of the 21-22 campaign we survived to spend another season playing in the north, but I always knew it was just a case of when, not if, we would be transferred west.
I hope we can keep the team together, but I can't blame any of the lads if the travelling south every other weekend is a step too far. One of the other regulars I spoke to at the last home game reckons we'll be doing roughly double the milage from this year's campaign - how true this I don't know, but we'd be looking at having to stay overnight for a few. Keeping my fingers crossed for another reprieve, I can't see one coming this time though

The Leicester Lions were apprehensive when they first went south and then west, but it has stood the side in good stead experience wise for next season in National 1, at least the travelling won't be a shock, even if the step up in the level of rugby is.

I'm confused at how with no assets Leeds have managed to survive. How could they afford Phil Davies plus Proctor plus Callard? How could they afford the travel costs? How could they afford some very good players including Okafor and Venables and a couple of late season Bath loanee recruits?

Jasper, yes, its a very confusing story. They had to leave Headingley and now rent facilities at West Park Leeds - to be fair, good facilities including training, first team pitch and a large clubhouse. I only attended one home game, where they announced a crowd of some 1500 but the true attendance was 500 at most. Next season travelling costs will be drastically reduced but they seem to be relying on a couple of local sponsors to meet the costs of rent,travel and players/coaches. I believe Callard has now gone.

Jasper, Your quote above was from Fly Half. I have heard no more rumour about the 2 Hull Clubs merging. It is not on the cards.
