6,000-7,000 club referees get paid nothing for reffing junior matches at their own clubs (Sunday games)
In England's RFUland 5,450 Society refs get travel expenses if they claim them. (Saturday adult games)
50 or so National Panel Refs get a small match fee and travel expenses (Saturday adult games). It's important to remember that ST is a high-powered advertising exec on commensurate salary, so when we says "small" we can be sure the match fee is below £100,000 p.a. [Aus$180,000], but we can't be certain of much else]
8 or so Championship / Elite refs get a slightly larger match fee, and a few are RFU employees as Development Managers or Officers. (Saturday adult games)
6 or so Elite Referees are full time salaried RFU professional match officials (Saturday adult games)
