With the current issues being faced by Birmingham to field a competitive team in the 2025 premiership ,

What state would the league of been in if Wolverhampton & Peterborough were still running ?

They would have had to reduce the points limit, which would have forced three clubs in particular to drop one of their big guns.

Birmingham wouldn't then be in the top division. Both Birmingham & Oxford are only there because those 2 clubs have gone.

Oxford yes,  but Birmingham moved up due to race night restrictions not primarily because they wanted to,  theres always the possibility that Lynn would of dropped down as well i suppose

Technically, that's true, but only because they were blocked from joining the Premiership in 2021 by the other clubs not wanting to share the TV money. When Peterborough and Wolverhampton sadly closed, the other clubs then realised they might not get any TV money and Oxford were miraculously welcomed with open arms in 2024. Funny that!

So if this is correct (I'm not saying it isn't) and if Panthers are ever back on track, then they might not be welcomed back into the Premiership?
