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.

To my knowledge the RFU only give a blanket £2k to clubs to help with costs, don’t hold me to this. For c.25 flights, coach hire & accom (for those that can afford it) your north of £10k for one away game, to be expected to cover it twice a season I can see a lot of clubs not being happy.
