It's the age of social media, fans expect to hear more than they ever used to
Wasps state that they wish to be more active with social media and more communicative - this is a chance to prove it.
However, they'd be in a minority of sports teams if they were to do so
Clearly we're not the richest club in the world, clearly we aren't pulling up trees on the pitch, but neither do we have a divine right to be winning - no one does
Every team requires an owner to put money into the club, none turn a profit. The same is mostly true for football as well. The difference is that it's a bit easier to fund a top flight rugby team than a top flight football team
We may have space in the cap, but there may be uncertainties with who will get international credits. Launchbury, Willis and Barbeary may earn the club nearly £250k in international credits or they may earn them nothing.
£250k is a fairly substantial number in these reduced salary cap days.
As for the pitch, it's another bad sign, but also with potentially mitigating circumstances as have been discussed elsewhere.
The club has probably earnt good money from the commonwealth games and concert(s) in the summer that we're probably not in a position where we're going to fold in days/weeks/months, but also there's obviously a number of things that need addressing.
The problem with being so fun that has numerous business interests, a large stadium, and vocal tenants is that everything is high profile.
Hopefully in due course our successes will be high profile too.
I may be burying my head in the sand, but ultimately there's nothing I can do about it if things are as bad as some state, so you go with the flow and hope you come out the other side with a smile
Always a Wasp
