It is precisely why we aren't doing this that I am still grasping on to that final straw. Flogging of all final stock is jus the administrators gathering as much cash as possible to pay off creditors. The fact we aren't means that we can leverage those assets for future funding. At least that's how I see it and until there is an official press release stating we are never coming back, I will live with that blind ignorant hope forever.

I thought Chris Holland bought all that stuff? Certainly someone did otherwise the Administrator would have done a fire sale like this one.

The Wasps shop was run independently of the club so that carried on functioning & all stock was sold that way. Shop stock was not part of the club so was not part of the sale.
I believe actual playing kit & other related stuff plus trophies & memorabilia was bought by Chris Holland as part of the sale of the club (frankly there wasn't much else for him to buy!)
