[QUOTE="Jayatron, post: 385581, member: 37607"] Interesting piece. I have heard a lot of rumors about the English RFU Championship sides. I've heard that a lot of them are really struggling with the new professionalism introduced a few years back. The gap between the premiership and the championship is to big at the introduction of professionalism in the championship is the right move, however someone needs to step up and take charge of the league. It's been three or so years now and still no main sponsor and no media coverage, so no real sponsorship or advertising income. I know some clubs like Worcester, Cornish pirates, Bedford and the likes are doing fine but a lot of others teams, around half, are struggling to come to terms with it. I've also read that a lot of these championship sides would not be able to gain promotion to the premiership because of money restrictions and stadium restrictions. I hear Deer Park would not meet requirements. [/QUOTE]
