Reading the Minimum Standards doc for Tier 2 above linked, we have to have a minimum 2000 capacity, 200 min seated, 500 minimum covered places.
Do all current Champ clubs meet this standard? Caldy, Amthill for example.....

No they don't, but the seating and covered aspects are relatively easy to deal with with temp stands. I'm pretty sure all have at least 2000 capacity, but stand to be corrected.

These were the standards about 15+ years ago for full National One RFU funding of £75,000

No FHLH - the document is headed "Minimum operating standards for Tier 2 2025-26"

To qualify for full RFU funding for National One were more onerous - 500 seated. The £75,000 was split into elements which came with money. The seating requirements should come as no surprise to current Championship clubs other than those who were not at Level 3 in 2006. The only difference is the covered element .

If the Premiership funding pot has been agreed for the next 7? years how will the expanded Prem I and Prem II be funded in the future?
Will the newly promoted Champ side get £m and will the relegated Prem side retain parachute funding? Devil in the detail.

Not sure if this warrants its own thread, but apparently premier sports are looking to get the tv rights to champ rugby next season to go alongside Pro D2. Not sure what this would mean for Ealing’s (and Pirates) plan to stream all their games next season.

Do premier sports have ProD2, I thought it was being streamed on a YouTube channel related to eggchasers from next season

Premier Sports do not have ProD2 in the UK, which is held by the FR-UK YouTube channel (with Tim Huckleberryer of the Eggchasers Podcast and formerly BT Sports) but may have them in Ireland?
They do have a wide range of rugby now including URC, Top 14, Japanese League One and US Major League Rugby along with the EPRC Champions and Challenge Cups. If it's cheap enough (and from the Worcester forum it's clear there's no real competition) I could see it happening - but would it mean a move from Saturday games for the Champ? Clearly URC and seemingly Top 14 would be prioritised on non-European Weekends, and there's not much point paying for rights to a 2nd/3rd Choice game on a Saturday afternoon when you already have two of the top domestic rugby leagues.
