wonder how the 2 clubs supporting this voted in connection t the scrapping of Super 6.
Wonder how they think they could support this financially given Aberdeen failed to put together a bid for a Super 6 franchise.

We are nowhere near financially being able to afford to support a 3rd pro team. Unfortunate, we'd all like one but that is the harsh reality. Given the SRU loss last season and expecting similar this season a 3rd team is probably further away than ever

The only clear and obvious bit to me - and even the contributors to the article are not united on this (a sure sign its fantasy and not serious) is that IF we ever got a position where we could afford a 3rd team, it would have to be in Aberdeen. Population centre is absolutely key

It’s strange timing for the article.

Anyway, I think our third men’s pro team should be the sevens and then they can get involved in this. I’d love to see it, but it’s sounds like a no-go unless there is some serious external investment.

I only posted the link in jest really, I can't believe anyone is going to set up a 3rd pro team, unless some benevolent multi gazillionaire somewhere needs to shed a couple or £30mill.

Any extra monies the SRU have should go into women's rugby imo.
