The Board remuneration is a separate line item.

We can imply for BS's comments that it includes

The insurance premiums that cover loss of earnings for amateur players. While the cover is minimal, it can be vital for those that do need to claim.

All payments to referees outside the top two levels. I doubt these have kept pace with inflation. Including all the costs of running the Referees Societies.

All the costs of running the CBs and the NCA.

The Astroturf pitches - though the roll-out seems to have slowed.

Loans and grants for new facilities - though again this is being squeezed.

And an ever reducing number of Rugby Development Officers.


It would be helpful if those with closer links could put numbers on each of these.

The key thing, is that the amount paid to clubs is lower than it was 8 years ago.
While the money paid to the professional game has doubled, and of that, more of that goes to the ten Premiership clubs as the funding to Championship clubs has gone down £3 million.
