Leaving Loxwood (CH) and "the local business community" owning everything. Some nice words about bring elite rugby back to 6 ways & making the location profitable (and keeping employees employed). Also confirms that the RFU have been advised that WW want to join the second tier

There are two pieces on their board - one by a female basically reading out a statement (sounds like) and the second is a bloke talking and kind of answering questions - both BBC people.

Good position, easy to get to but basic facilities (single small stand) but they are trying hard. Large semi permanent marquee for food & drink for example. Their biggest problem is the Trent floods the pitch on a reasonably regular basis!
Very nice people though & well organised.

For Coventry, read Leicester as a rough equivalent; for Bedford, read Gloucester. Either club would survive in the Premiership - if they ever could get there - at least as well as Newcastle, say, in terms of a fan income base.
