I remember the days when the likes of Moseley, Nottingham, Coventry, Fylde and even Preston Grasshoppers were a force in English rugby. Times change. It would be tough on the likes of Exeter, but there's plenty of quality and competitive rugby at a lower level in England. Supporters of clubs like Northampton and Leicester deserve to be able to see their teams compete on a proverbial level playing field with the rest of Europe. They turn up in large numbers, pay good money, show great loyalty...it's time to catch up.
