Levelling the Playing Field – How to Grow your Rugby Business and Plan for Success by Francis Baron Chief Executive Officer - Rugby Football Union

"I believe 2009 will be a very difficult year and we're planning on the assumption that we haven't yet seen the worst, what we're trying to do is ensure that the RFU centrally remains very strong and we're fortunate that we've got long-term contracts with all our key revenue streams. What we can't guarantee is what will happen locally.

I think that rugby clubs around the country will suffer a downturn in some shape or form with their sponsors. We will maintain the continuity of RFU central funding – we're very secure on that – but clubs will have to watch their budgets very closely. It's not going to be a year when clubs can push the boat out at all and everyone is going to have to look at their costs and be very careful about what they commit to. But I'm sure we'll get through it OK as a sport, but there will be some pain suffered along the way. I believe that all our clubs in the semi-professional and amateur leagues have to concentrate on building on what we know works – strong clubs with strong, committed members who will support it through thick and thin.

That's why I think we've got to try and educate clubs, both through how we're going to be funding the game going forward and also showing them the importance of developing their business sense and showing what has happened so often to other clubs, great clubs, who have collapsed as a result of following imprudent policies. This RFU event with Business Link will give clubs the chance to have a look at themselves and to access support opportunities to develop their workforce to grow and develop a sustainable rugby business"
