Professional rugby isn't sustainable in the Premier league where they manage to get gates of over 5k. Why are the RFU pushing this unsustainability onto the champ. Fully pro rugby is not even vaguely achievable.

He also says that no Championship club is going to be relegated because they don't meet the criteria (eg floodlights), having achieved the most important measure - on-pitch success in making it to the Champ.

Again, slightly inaccurate. Both he and certainly Charlie Beckett (pretty much a subject matter expert on all things Champ) labour the point, quite sensibly, that the Tier 2 clubs will have to practice what they preach re certain standards on and off the pitch if they expect to remain at Level 2 - much of which does relate to infrastructure, which at the very least would be floodlights, media, hospitality, medical, stand(s) (some covered).
Somone else mentioned it before, but to have clubs at Level 2 of the game without floodlights at their grounds is quite remarkable, and something those club(s) will have to address moving forward if they think they are going to be staying at Level 2. Alred quite rightly alludes to the fact that there is a period of turbulence ahead for some clubs, which I'd have to agree with.

Reviewing the Championship website, the photo attached to the news item about the return of the Premiership Cup is of Cambridge, a team deemed unworthy by the RFU of taking part.
You can't make this stuff up.
