Without getting into a cock swinging contes -


1. Club attendances are generally stable between domestic and European matches. It's only the Celts whom have f-all people interested outside the HEC.

2. The LV= Cup has way more "financial clout" then the HEC for the clubs, particularly as reward for success. When you consider a guaranteed 4-way split or a possible 6-way split. Even distribution wouldn't work though as the unions would kick up a fuss though as they couldn't skim their only decent income off the top before passing it down to their owned franchises.

3. 152million/4/12... Or 3.16million each per year (that's in pounds stirling, not European monopoly money). A lot more then present. Plus the opportunity to make their own incomes... I doubt they'll struggle too hard.
