How statistically difficult it is for a club like RUFC - actually it's pretty difficult for bigger clubs - to get into the Championship. Let's just say that if we didn't achieve it again in the next twenty years that would be par for the course given the number of times we have been promoted to it recently. Historically it's almost unprecedented.
Now, if you examine the maths on a site like FinkTank you will also see that given all the financial considerations of league payments, TV money, sponsorship etc it is much much easier for a club like RUFC to STAY in the Championship than get PROMOTED to it.
This is why I don't like Tony Stewart's stewardship of our club. No chairman in RUFC history - actually perhaps in league history - has had more opportunities to finance a stay in the Championship and failed to invest every time. Not good enough for me.
