Championship clubs have to put aside a further £60k for Medical expenses, which not only includes an Ambulance but doctors, physio's and Medical equipment for the physio room, there is an extensive list included in the Medical Audit.  
Travel expenses in the Championship include flights to Jersey plus hotel accommodation, and overnight stays for Pirates all of which is to be funded from the RFU £140k.

I assume there will be two guest teams, selected from the various unattached players.
If we are going for "brands" I would ask the Barbarian FC to provide one and the Penguin International RFC the other.

But we need to get these sorted fairly soon, including where they might train and who will coach them.

I suspect they will end up playing all matches away.

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. Let in Rams and Sale, not the fly by night overpriced players. Tough tittie. Who decides their match fee?

That's almost as bad as the RFU spouting that the off field management needs to improve.

The problem is Rams and Sale could not simply postpone their first five league matches - that would not work for them or their opponents.

There is no space for two new teams to be added to the Championship, as that would lead to a 31 game season.

And no time to rearrange the leagues from National 1 down.

How about two of the border clubs like Kelso and Hawick who probably have better grounds than most Championship clubs.

Lovely clubs, but the same problem, they would be committed to the Scottish competitions.

Perhaps it would make sense for the bottom 2 Champ teams to sit the cup out? If it is seeded, that would imply Cambridge will play Saracens. So it would be National 1 champ vs. Premiership champ. Good story, lousy match probably.

But it would not be the Premiership winning side, as most of them would be in France, it would mainly be Saracens Academy.

The only problem is that Sam Byan knows our drills, as he was on loan to us last season and was good injury cover. He was on the pitch at the end, and does have a winner's medal.

Just read TRP, and apparently the Prem is keeping all sponsorship and TV money, while also getting 3 home matches. So, another stitch up.

Staggering arrogance by PRL. The Champ clubs should tell them where to put their cup!

And per the same article, apparently the RFU and PRL had the gall to try to push through a 1 year extension of the current, crippling PGA.

The Cup hasn't been sponsored for a number of years.

Does it actually have independent TV rights?  Is this actually a story or more lies by the Rag?

But they will have two away matches.

With five rounds, at least one match will require a Premiership team going to a Championship ground.
The older I get, the more the RFU leave me confused.

Sounds fairly well-informed from where I'm sitting. A long-standing and respected journalist like Jon Newcombe, whose byline is on this piece, doesn't acquire the reputation he has by publishing lies. Sounds like a typical, lazy case of blaming the media without any substance to back up what's being claimed...

I haven't blamed anyone, I have pointed out there is no sponsorship money to share, and asked a very obvious question.  Do TNT actually pay any extra money to broadcast this competition?

Without an answer in the affirmative there is no money to share in the first place.

Funny how you are focusing on the first 2 of your 3 sentences - neither of which I commented on specifically - rather than the 3rd one - which was the focus of my response - about 'Rag lies'...
