Create a British and Irish league
First topic message reminder :
Anyone else think it would be a good idea to merge the pro 12 and aviva premiership together and have 2 top professional leagues where sides get promoted and relegated between the two? I think this would be a far more attractive league for supporters and players alike, especially as the english and celts have such a big rivalry, this could potentially attract more supporters to games, generate more money and help towards growing the game?

Well are you going to admit you were wrong when you said the tv deal shouldn't help see a change in those turning a profit?
As someone on here stated at some point there are 4 who turn a profit and Wasps should be on that list now too though I don't think thats official
My recollection of Healeys article was he had said most do rather than the majority will, I was wrong, unlike some I am capable of saying Im wrong rather than telling people what they said or what they were thinking to move the goalposts when Im wrong
I made no comment on those already turning a profit.
Good to see you've changed on admitting your errors. Let's hope that continues.

You're usually able to tell people what they mean so work your magic

Re: Create a British and Irish league
It's a nice idea. In theory we have 39 weeks of club season each season, as well as 2-3 weeks of preseason. Then a 10 week break.
Provided we scrapped pre-season friendlies, and had no other competition it is theoreticaly possible to have a 22 team league played over 42 weeks. Or 12 English and 10 Celtic teams.
