The wording of the statement sounds like there will be a future "permanent" stadium in plan, somewhere. But as well all know, if that is not well into a planning process already it wont be available for 2-3 years at best. So, in order to be able to play either next season, or the one after, there must also be some kind of plan for a temporary home. With Hollands ownership of the company which holds the right to a lease at Sixways, it would be very likely that either:
 1. Wasps play at Sixways until a permanent home is built
 2. Sixways is that permanent home.

Option 1 would seem reasonably sensible & matches some of the noises we've heard, although I can see some local hostility. Warriors would need to be resurrected somehow (potentially as part of prem 2 etc) and maybe the ground shared?

And of course all this ignores the question of what competition Wasps v2 would be playing in, which as we know is, to a major extent out of Wasps hands.

Well, a welcome update which tells us nothing concrete other than "we're still working on it".

For which I am grateful of course - that people are committed and real time and effort (and presumably cold, hard cash) is being expended on something many of us may have thought was dead.

Asks more questions than it answers, possibly. When? Where? Who?

It's a chink of light at the end of a particularly dark, bleak tunnel though.
