I have said all along that ourselves and Worcester are a more visible problem that affects the whole league. If we go under then that’s 4 match SH revenue lost with most teams already in the red. Who next starts to struggle and is next in line for the chopping block? Gloucester, Falcons, Irish? Thanks to the overall lack of support from PRL and the RFU and the general size of the game in England the game below the Premiership is a chasm of difference in terms of quality. Ealing may make it, although like Bath, Saracens it would only be due to an owner bank account, and any loss of that would lead to a London Welsh scenario. Pirates, Jersey are well supported at that level but are unlikely to make the step up.
The Premiership is a mess, but anyone thinking it will stop at us if we fold would be fooling themselves.
