       > Ealing Trailfinders has withdrawn its appeal of the decision
       of the RFU Board that following an independent audit, the club’s
       facilities do not currently meet the Professional Game Board
       Minimum Standards Criteria required for promotion to the
       Gallagher Premiership.
       >
       > The RFU has reiterated it will continue to collaborate with
       Championship clubs on the development of a sustainable
       Championship as well as a commitment of the Professional Game
       Board to review standards relating to minimum capacity ahead of
       the audit process next season.

       Well let’s hope the Rfu gives them some cash as well as their
       expertise. COS all over that in my opinion sounds just like him.

       Good - When are clubs going to get their priorities right.
       1) You get ground to meet promotion criteria
       2) You then build a team good enough to get promotion

       From what I gathered one of areas the RFU/Prem Rugby didn't
       accept the options of temporary stands, however, based on that
       if Bath were to be relegated in the future and the Rec is mostly
       temporary stands would they be refused promotion as let be
       honest they are not getting a new stadium in the next decade
       minimum, to many NIMBY's with money in Bath to get it done
       easily or quickly.

       Neither Exeter or Bath currently meet the Premiership ground
       requirements.
       When you are in, you are in.

       Real shame. As others have said, fine for existing clubs to have
       substandard grounds and/or rubbish attendances, but not for an
       upstart club

       But if you drop out you can't get back in without improvements.

       Indeed it shows the total hypocrisy of the Premiership. If it
       wasn't for Quins I wouldn't waste my time with it.

       This Year there is no relegation....
       I don't know how long the "ringfence" will last, somewhere
       rattling around in My head it was 3 years. If this is the case
       it will be a while before We see a relegation
