Lots of people are blaming the RFU saying the prem. is draining or depriving championship rugby of much needed funds to operate, it's not just Albion I think must championship clubs are on their knees.
RFU dont give a feck about the game below the Premiership which is the major problem as so many clubs outside it are going bust or near breaking point because they arent getting a good deal from them even when they make demands and gurantees hell its very hard to get them to promote the game below the prem or even strike a tv deal that sees it given exposure.
The Pirates will be next to go soon even with their large fanbase.
There needs to be a review of the game beyond the premiership that is fair and teams can exist in or the RFU may aswell cut the premiership off (which they may aswell do) and enforce clubs outside it to return to part time basis.
I believe Albion have raised half including the £125,000 offered which is a real shame.
I still have small hope a deal can be done to atleast keep the club alive even with the relegation being made a cert via the points deduction but unless a miracle happends it will cease to be by Monday.
