Have always followed English club rugby from afar, as being from Dorset there's no local club of note. Bath have a few fans around as they have been the nearest team until Exeter arrived on the scene, but Bath is still 2 hours or so away.

Very true - although this list was top revenue income only. I was expecting Saints (and maybe Glos) to be atleast a little bit higher, but I guess it shows quite how strong the Top 14 is in terms of attracting sponsorship.
