Wasps Rugby Discussion / Re: Rugbypass take on Guardian article
« on: April 19, 2023, 11:58:20 AM »
Playing rugby at a rugby training ground may not constitute a change of use, but surely they will need a licence to sell alcohol, and presumably some sort of licence would be needed before they could admit paying punters in the kind of numbers that would be expected. And the addition of a club shop and food outlets could in themselves be defined as a change of use. I think the council will not be short of means to put a stop to it if they felt so inclined.

The numbers of people here, not just posting, but those who only read as well, are massively down.
For me - I post less as there's no news.....and I look to see if there's any news. It is really poor form iro fans and I was hoping there would be as chance to get to a game next season - regardless of my health!
Traffic on here always dropped off after the end of the season, but soon recovered come September.
I don't think the current drop in numbers necessarily means that people have gone, never to return. When there's a game every weekend, then that gives us plenty to talk about. No reason to think the current lack of interest won't be reversed if and when we actually have some rugby to talk about again.

There are literally thousands of heartbroken fans desperate for some sign that something, anything, was being done. And they've all been completely ignored.
How many have come to terms with there being no Wasps and simply won't be back?
I suspect a large percentage.

The blas? attitude towards the people who ultimately pay for the club is really sad. All for what can only be described as a vanity project.
Better the current silence than the BS we were fed during the final months of the previous ownership.
As mentioned, any documentary that is being made won't be just a vanity project, it will be pulling in vital funds as they try to get the club back on its feet.
I'd love to know exactly what is going on, and the longer it goes on the more my concern grows, but it's out of my hands, so I can but wait. The ongoing silence won't lose the club fans in anything like the numbers that a 100 mile move away from its traditional roots did, to a stadium that was completely over the top for club rugby. If it's a vanity project you're looking for...

Wasps Rugby Discussion / Re: Farrell Benched, Smith Starts, Genge Captain.

For the first time in a lot of years I'm quite happy with that starting 15. Youngs finally binned, no Tuilagi to get injured, players selected in their best positions, and now, finally, the sainted Farrell benched for an infinitely more gifted 10 rather than shoe horned in at 12 to accommodate both.
My only beef with the 23 is I really don't see what 2 ageing props offer off the bench. Your bench props are supposed to come on fresh. Those 2 look f*cked just peeling off their track suits!

I can't take the credit for that one, much as I'd love to. It's the headline in the article.
I can see that moniker sticking!
