And the top flight continues to be a closed shop:

Ealing Trailfinders fail to meet Premiership promotion criteria

There will be no promotion and relegation between the top tiers of English rugby this season after Championship league leaders Ealing Trailfinders failed the minimum standards criteria.
www.bbc.co.uk

Joke of a sport at the elite level.

And Worcester Warriors have appointed a head coach, so looks like their acceptance into the Championship for next season is a done deal.

Unless anything's changed in the last 24 hours, Wuss have 'announced' a coaching appointment, but haven't actually signed/contracted one.
Not sure how that works,

I think i'm right in saying that is no longer the case. They were definitely in bed together, but i think the Wasps guy slunk off when the Kent plan emerged.

Absolute arrogant wankers. For all its faults the PL hasn’t got a problem with Bournemouth , Burnley or Luton being a part of it despite them having not much more than L1 stadiums.
The game is on its arse- even the 6 nations didn’t drum up any excitement this year despite the broadsheets and the BBC extensively overhyping it. If you read the Sunday Times any of the 6 nations weekends you would think it was the World Cup.

If they did get the ground increased they should cap it at 9999 and say bollocks to the RFU. Surely local clubs like Leicester, Northampton, Gloucester would embrace having Coventry in the top division

10,000 is an arbitrary number anyway.

Two of the current top flight averaged less than that last season.

Not so much 'away end' as formalizing methods to allow visitors to sit together if they wish (something that tends to happen anyway). Nowt will change the existing crowd dynamics in RU though.

Covid loans: Uncertainty over £400m yet to be paid back

There is a "high degree of uncertainty" over how much of the hundreds of millions of pounds lent to sports bodies during the Covid pandemic will be repaid, says an influential group of MPs.
www.bbc.co.uk
Just heard on BBC Radio 4.
Rugby Union clubs were given the most and Conservatives gave Wasps, Worcester and London Irish £41m. Government have now admitted they are going to struggle to get most of that back.
How much did Cov get I wonder?

Very little iirc. It was needed just to keep the club afloat. The '24 accounts (just published) seem to indicate that at least some of the loan is still outstanding given the level of creditor liability, but there's little detail.

They took it as the insurance companies refused to pay out for loss of income.

Quote 02/02/21:
"We can confirm that the club has applied for a loan from the government’s Sport Winter Survival Package, although we understand that the desired grants are not available. However, the amount of loan understood to be available will not cover all of our costs. Therefore, the club’s finances will remain precarious for the foreseeable future, which will mean that we have to make further savings to our operational costs".
