Always a Wasp

I?m 2017 my son was 8 years old and had never seen a rugby match in his life apart from England on the TV. Then we went to the first match of the season against Exeter and he was totally hooked and became Wasps and rugby obsessed, he joined a local rugby club where he still plays as a aspiring scrum half that combined with a Wasps season ticket and numerous away games meant our weekends became all about rugby. When the club went out business a can?t begin to tell you how devastated the boy was almost to point of tears. For the past year he?s been clinging to the hope they would resurface at some level, he did care how low down the leagues they started he just wanted to watch his beloved Wasps again. We live 15 mins from the CBS Arena so todays news has come like an arrow to his heart. With a younger brother that plays football on a Saturday morning it is just not possible for us to attend home matches also the time and cost just make it impossible. We will still do a few away matches if possible but it just won?t be the same. Apart from him playing rugby and the World Cup we just haven?t had the interest in Rugby that we had. We?re both glad to hear that there is a chance it might all start again and we truely hope if it does that it is successful it?s just with a tinge of sadness that we won?t be involved.

Because they’re cheats. Looking at the line ups there is at least 4 internationals on the bench as well. And lo and behold - they’re walking away with the league!

Saw a clip on Facebook the other day showing the top 10 earners in rugby union for 2022 and Saracens had two in there Owen and Mario, the article was quoting there salary in SA Rand but roughly equated to £1.7 million between them. Now that’s a very big chunk of their cap on two players

Ok so my son was the happiest person on the planet when the RFU gave the green light for the takeover. Now he’s asking how long before we hear of recruitment and season tickets (he’s only 13 so gets a bit ahead of himself). I know there is still lots of work to do before we see players running out on a pitch but how long can they leave it before they start recruiting? I’m not saying it should be starting now just asking those that know more than me how long can we leave it and still be ready for the 23/24 season. I’d also have thought they would like to get tickets on sale asap

What is actually classed as rugby related debts and does anyone know roughly how much it is?

Feel for Jacob as I thought he did ok today but his red has cost us. Starting to feel like he’s a red card waiting happen

This could set a record for the lowest gate for a wasps home game

However, this game is very likely to be a one full of attacking threat, risky offloads sticking, superb handling and skills, leadership on the pitch, passion, a balanced back row, a solid scrum, fast ball and clear coaching structures in place.

You are talking about the Newcastle team right.

That was bloody awful. It appears, irrespective of personnel, we're carrying on where we left off last season. I think we need a new head coach. And I really wanted Lee to succeed (as in get us to top 4).

+1  when he took over it was a weird time for everyone with Covid-19 and I don’t think anyone can really be judged on that season. He’s had two full seasons and this team is completely his and has been for some time yet on today’s performance we’ve gone backwards. Only question is who is out there that is better and will come
