As they say: Some interesting points stand out:
1) Harlequins raked in ?27.2 million in 2022, but still made a ?1.5 million loss. How?!
2) Irish never earnt more than ?10 million
3) No growth for Tigers since 2011

Wasps Rugby Discussion / More Financial Trouble?
« on: March 08, 2023, 11:36:02 AM »
Tweet from A View From LE2 / Elliott Butlin
I?m fairly confident that in the very near future we will hear news about the financial situation of another Premiership club. And I?m fairly sure it won?t be pretty news either.
Will the RFU/PRL get their wish for a 10 team league?

Wasps Rugby Discussion / Exeter: Just What Does This Mean?
« on: February 22, 2023, 10:44:18 AM »
Message from Tony Roe attached below. Is this some kind of pre-emptive strike? There will be (at least) 2 less home games at Sandy Park next season so apparently season ticket prices are to be 'reduced'. But by what percentage? Or am I just a conspiracy theorist?

Wasps Rugby Discussion / Which Way Are Tigers Sailing in the Creek ?
« on: February 17, 2023, 09:55:33 AM »
Though I have no interest in Tigers (and never have) this makes intriguing reading. I think it points to pro rugby in England teetering on the brink. Reminds me of the passage in Ernest Hemingway?s novel The Sun Also Rises in which a character named Mike is asked how he went bankrupt. ?Two ways,? he answers. ?Gradually, then suddenly.?
