Possible futures
« on: October 18, 2022, 11:34:28 AM »
What a horrible few days, just so sad with more sadness to come as we see ‘our’ players playing for different clubs. As someone who started as a junior member at Sudbury in the amateur days this all leaves a huge hole. But as an optimist I do hope that there is a future. Safe to say the prem has gone for next season and I can’t see any surviving club playing at the CBS. I think the main hope for a professional future might be a buyer merging us with Worcester to become Worcester Wasps. Worcester’s ground plus our training facilities with merged support could see a club survive in the championship push for promotion and somewhere down the line get established back in the prem. this would all need a buyer but maybe there is one out there who couldn’t afford the CBS but could afford this. Otherwise I hope Wasps survive even as an amateur club somewhere and maybe even back near to Sudbury.

Playing at Sixways would lose almost all supporters from the South East (as it is a long journey by road, and almost impossible by train), and also lose a lot of supporters from Warwickshire (it is not a good road journey to make). In effect, it would actually be a Warriors team with a hint of Wasps. I cannot see this suggestion going down at all well with Warriors fans.

I heard a rumour that the senior academy lads are still being kept on for now. Maybe there is some hope of a future Wasps after all...

In that case, rest easy as there already is a Wasps amateur club playing just a few miles from Sudbury.

Wasps name where they want to play if and when they return.
