SIR – When Worcester Warriors were relegated from the Premiership the season before last, all was doom and gloom.

The cricket team, too, were relegated from division one of the county championship the seasonm before last.

One may have thought the end of the world was nigh.

How times have changed.

The rugby club are back in the Premiership, where they belong, and the cricket club are back in the top flight – albeit they are finding it tough.

It is all big business today.

Long ago it was just a game.
