Can’t see Jersey being put into N2E if they do win R1SC, the financial burden on clubs having to go out there twice will be to much to absorb, expect them to be put into N2W if required.
To my knowledge clubs receive a minimal token amount from the RFU to help with costs travelling out, clubs will be c.£5k down and that’s with flying straight in and straight out, expect there to be some grumbling if expected to do it twice a season.

Well, according to one of the Jersey members here (apologies, I can't remember the name), for RFU travel calculation purposes Southampton Airport is their designated "home".  But travel down to deepest Cornwall and up to Macclesfield would be so much more expensive for the RFU than Oxford and Canterbury. So personally, I don't see that happening if Jersey did get promoted.
