       IIRC Saints used the Stadium MK for Champions Cup matches when
       they required a 15000+ capacity stadium. I may be wrong but I
       think since recent upgrades it’s now around that capacity. That
       all being said like you I would assume Stadium MK would not be
       outrageously expensive compared to HQ. Though hiring it for a
       regular season game may not necessarily be worth it as the extra
       tickets sold may not be compensated by loss in drinks and food
       sales.

       Cornish Pirates spent over a decade trying to get planning
       permission and funding for a stadium that meets Premiership
       requirements - which they would share with Truro FC, and
       recently gave up the unequal struggle.

       Could it be something like rugby leagues Magic Weekend, all the
       fixtures in one place over a weekend. No idea how the money is
       shared but would generate media & public interest in the sport.

       Gawd, I hope not. That'd be like the hated London Double Header
       magnified. It was bad enough then & saw diminishing attendances
       year on year. Far better to spread them geographically.
