snoopdog7 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 I believe the issue is the length of the season not the distance. A 9 month season , 6 to 8 week pre season leaves around a month or so away from rugby, crazy ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 A lot of the time the some clubs can go a month before a home fixture, this is a big problem as clubs finances are affected by this, surley when this hapens the league should step in to alter the fixture programe, common sence, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidlandsRugbyLeague Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Example ?English Hockey LeaguesNational Basketball Leagues The RFU National League 3 leagues, whilst split into North, Midlands and South are all similar travel distances to the NCL which covers 2 of England's economic regions, with one side in a third in Division 3.

snoopdog7 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Are the basketball and hockey leagues Amateur ? The RU leagues are regional with Cumbrian team traveling no further than the Manchester area or Newcastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidlandsRugbyLeague Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Are the basketball and hockey leagues Amateur ? The RU leagues are regional with Cumbrian team traveling no further than the Manchester area or Newcastle. Thats my point, the RFU leagues are still the same distances as the NCL... look at National 3 North. National Basketball is amateur (its the BBL which is pro) and Im fairly certain on Hockey too.

bowes Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 In the same way that NCL Premier is?The RFU are talking about introducing a salary cap of £100,000 at that level but the club's aren't happy. It's certainly a higher level than NCL 2 and 3. My preference is for NCL premier and 1 to stay the same and NCL 2 and 3 to be split west and east but I could see the appeal of a premier and three regional divisions if it were part of a minimum standards based pyramid structure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to thread where would the midlands fit in with the NCL should it regionalise are there any teams at NCL standard on the Midlands ? Nottingham would probably find it easier to play in a Yorkshire division than one with trips to Cumbria and Lancashire.

I guess whats tongue in cheek to some is a false statement to another... Coventry Bears had a couple of productive seasons but distance to Cumbria and NE was a killer. Conference League South is the Tier 4 offer for those regions which offers a similar standard to NCL 3.

MidlandsRugbyLeague Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Oh I see tongue in cheek was it !!!!!!!!!!!! Read the context of the thread. I was saying that the RU League in question was semi-professional in the same way that the NCL is... this was an ironic statement (or a use of sarcasm)... because the league in question, like the NCL, is supposed to be amateur... but in fact (and unlike the NCL) many players receive significant wages from the companies of their committee members and sponsors. I really hope this clears up your misunderstanding!

I was told there was either going to be a split into west and east or a Welsh premier and presumably an English division? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
