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.
