I thought the same but re-read the documents and it appears not for the initial year, I do think it works like that going forward though

That's my understanding of it though others appear to interpret differently

Just re-read, you may be right for 2025 season but going forward beyond I think what I said still holds, for London there score should go up based on 2024 season but possibly not by enough to keep there spot???

Why? If London avoid finishing bottom they will not be relegated, there seems to be a misconception that the grading determines who will be in the top 12, it doesn't with the exception of A graded teams, clubs outside the top 12 with a B grade can only be promoted if they win the championship grand final doesn't matter if their score is higher or lower than the bottom team if they are both B.

The issue with the pitch is that the ground was built on poor quality land and there are also drainage issues, it is a very thin layer mix of grass and synthetic. Unfortunately it causes big issues with Warriors fixtures and they lose the rhythm of home/away fixtures.

Why not revert to playing in your "home" kit for every match and only use the "away" kit for colour clashes, that's what used to happen, and not just in RL.

It hasn't really worked in France where they do call it Rugby a trieze

Old Trafford is sn old stadium with too many seats crammed in, no leg room and an uncomfortable match day experience. Never been to Ethiad but worth a try.
