[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 833330, member: 58362"] What's to buy out? The professional club no longer exists within the league structure. I believe that the was some substance in the rumour, apparently Williams was spotted at a game at ODP. If the intent was serious, they failed to get their act together in time. If they couldn't comply with the relevant regulations, maybe they would have been the people to lead the club into the next drama. I completely agree with Groundhog's comments. The very well connected people with impressive CVs who were responsible for the running of the club over the last 5 years or so should be utterly ashamed of themselves. Perhaps a cautionary tale for anyone who thinks that giving their club away in pursuit of glory is a good idea. ratsapprentice, the amateur club is a separate entity with separate CB membership. As far as I can see, London Welsh RFC no longer exist. It will be interesting to see what approach is taken from now on. Will a team (presumably adopting the London Welsh RFC moniker) be formed to try and gain entry to the leagues and start climbing back up, or will some sort of fudge go on to try and give LWARFU's highest side's league status to a side called LWRFC? I hope the latter won't happen - surely LWARFC should have a constitution that prevents them from paying players. [/QUOTE]
