FHLH - No they’re not. They looked at the possibility but staying at Kingston Park.
Goodness knows how long DMP can continue to maintain that facility.

I'm sure renaming the Premiership to the Prem will solve all the problems with that league.
Meanwhile back in the real world ....

This will make the candidate for promotion / relegation playoffs interesting
I assume RB come with ££. Another niche sport for Red Bull. Newcastle Matadors? Edited by FHLH - 8 hours 49 minutes ago at 11:11 |

The Red Bull group made an €11bn profit in 2024. A rugby club would be peanuts in their marketing world. Pay back is marketing and media content. Red Bull model is to buy, own, grow. Every sport they've entered they have invested in the next generation. However, until there's an Austrian name in companies House as a director of Newcastle Falcons or whatever the legal entity is called then I put this down to hype.

Why not abbreviate Rugby to Rug and go the whole hog?

Hogby? Can keep up with the times and change this site to RollMa or is that incestuous ? "rebrands to emphasise the physicality and intensity of the league." That's the weird bit

The top comment on that BBC article is: "The 2026 final will be played at Twick, the home of Eng Rug."

Guardian
".....apparently on the grounds that polysyllabic words are now for rugby dinosaurs. The continuing push to make rugby more marketable to a Gen Z audience could spell trouble for the double-barrelled likes of Ollie Hassell-Collins – or OHC as he will be known in future.' But who was Obo?
