From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The
2004β05 National Division One was the 18th full season of
rugby union within the second tier of the English league system, currently known as the
RFU Championship . New teams to the division included
Rotherham Titans who were demoted from the
2003β04 Zurich Premiership while
Sedgley Park and
Nottingham were promoted from the
2003β04 National Division Two .
[1]
[2]
[3] Rotherham almost went into liquidation and dropped out of the leagues following their relegation from the Premiership but were saved by a local consortium which enabled them to continue playing in National One.
[4] As well as new teams
Coventry had a new ground, moving from
Coundon Road to the smaller but more modern
Butts Park Arena .
[5]
[6]
By the end of the season, after two seasons spent in the division,
Bristol Shoguns became champions and were promoted back to the
Guinness Premiership for season
2005β06 .
[7]
Exeter Chiefs were runnersβup, and
Orrell (last seasons runnersβup) along with
Henley were relegated to the
2005β06 National Division Two .
