I'd very much like to know how much of Surrey taxpayers money the council had to pay Kingston council for the building being there.

Off topic but a bigger question is why Surrey County Council sold the building for £25m when the land is now apparently worth ten times that when developed.

(Surrey had attempted to move away from Kingston to Woking in 2019 but the financial crisis put paid to that)

To be fair, Surrey RFU covers the whole of the historic county of Surrey.
Aside from Cumbria, and therefore Lancashire, I think all the unions represent the traditional counties.

It is not just rugby, Surrey County Council was based in Kingston upon Thames - long after it became a London Borough, only moving to Reigate in 2020.

So they had even more teams to invite to compete in their Cup competition than the two they did ask!

And one of those two wasn't really bothered! A week's notice of a Cup Final is a bit short!!
