I said revised cup, 10s or 7s at beginning and end of season.


And your evidence supporting that is?

Evidence for what? You've lost me.

Presumably evidence that there is any interest in playing cup games. The number of walkovers in recent seasons would suggest the focus of coaches and players these days is for league rugby.

Correct. It was flagged up at both meetings.
The puzzling thing was clubs asking for restructuring to allow for Cup comps when they'd already given a walkover, and not for the first time.

It was a suggestion, not an evidence based argument.

Got to try something new.

I'm surprised that the Forum isn't buzzing over this topic as it will effect every club in one way or another and looks as though it's going to be railroaded in by RFU North for next season.

Has any club voted yet?

Do level 6 clubs get a vote?

If it turns out to be ridiculous then I'll happily lead a break away, I've had over 20 emails already- however I haven't had time to fully digest the implications.

As far as I know all clubs in the north from L6 and below were emailed on Friday PM via club secretaries

Yes you do.
Even without an invite.

Scarborough RUFC have not received anything about ANY of this.

It is an absolute disgrace and I think clubs need to make their feelings known next time there is an election.

Begs the question of how many other L6 clubs were missed off the mailing list.
Or perhaps they assumed you were promoted already and didn’t think they needed to include you?
Wrong either way..

I trust you are contacting them about the oversight?

And the saga over the hill continues.

Looks like Lancs and cheshire are wahing their hands of Cunbria yet expect the East to help them out.

Talk about picking and choosing.

I think it is outrageous the way they are just doing what they want without any thought to the Cumbrian clubs, nor their Eastern counterparts.
