Wasps facing relegation

[Rossm]

Jim Hamilton reckons apart from Wasps and Worcester, two more teams are on the brink. Anyone hazard a guess who they might be?

To The Falcon:  We've been STH for years (12 or more),  4 STHs in fact.  and I cannot remember ever being offered or sent free tickets.  Some people get all the luck.

If crowd attendances are any indicator then I'd expect those two teams to be Sale and Newcastle.

LOL said half the clubs were 'up for sale', meaning their current owners had reached the end of their financial largess. Maybe two more are at the point we are with HMRC, and then maybe 3 more on top of that.

When was the last time a European super League was suggested?


I suspect it'll be raised again


The rich clubs go off and play in Europe


The rest have an even more reduced salary cap to ensure they don't over extend their finances.
But then soon find the revenue opportunities drop even more then they are at the moment.
And before you know it, we're back to amateur rugby

Where are CVC in all this? Their investment looks like it is beginning to go down the pan.

[Raggs]

As odd as it may seem, if we do get successfully sold, it may be a good thing to be one of the first going down the pan, since I can't imagine there's a large immediate market of people looking to buy rugby clubs, and if Wasps and Wuss are sold, that number will only get significantly smaller for the next poor club.

I've never objected to paying for my tickets knowing others had got freebies. I prefer the atmosphere with more people, and understand that getting people there for the first time is very valuable.

+2. Mrs FW and I first attendance was on a Freeby. Now both STH's since 2003/4.

Biggest problem I hear from "newbies" attending a game is not understanding the laws or the refs decisions.

Try explaining to someone who is new to the game why crossing is obstruction, but a rolling maul isn't.

Interesting that wasps netball have just announced a load of signings. I assume they are owned by wasps holdings as well. So there must be some confidence internally that this will get resolved.

Wheels within wheels are rolling.

Our Chief Operating Officer is interesting.

[Shugs]

Very. When did he get that job? Must have missed that.

Round about the time he built us a training centre.

 OOOOOoooooo.........          PS VV:  Noticed that the 'Like' and 'Dislike'  have vanished. No complaints at all except that You were 4 'Likes' away from being a Double Centurion.  So please accept these 4 'Likes' (  ) to add to your total.  No prize alas.  Just many thank yous.

[Shugs]

Dallaglio in the paper this morning saying he expects us to find a solution.
