Never really thought about the lyrics, reminds me of when someone pointed out the lyrics on Mack the Knife

I just wish I didn't admire France so much. Maybe there is hope, wasn't that long ago that they were a bit of a mess.

It certainly isn't in rude health. They said they would make rugby more popular than football! If ridiculous statements like that form the basis of a strategy then there isn't much hope. Although the constant tinkering around the edges followed by a radical change that separates the amateur game from the professional doesn't really suggest any sort of strategy. Unless the strategy is to appease people who don't care about the game push away those that do.

Warriors v Wasps, wonder if that's a coincidence or by design.

Without relegation and promotion what claim does the premiership have to being the top level of English rugby?

I read the press release and it doesn't really say what behaviour is not acceptable. It sort of implies racism because it says Moors are an inclusive club. Let's hope that whoever it is aimed at realise and either change or stop going.

We were there at the Sixwades game, sun was out, great atmosphere. A festival of Wade on his centenary game. It was as if the coaches said "just get the ball to Wade".

Still not satisfied that Wasps have left Coventry then. Does he really think that CRFC or Moseley are going to lose one supporter to Wasps because they are a tenant in Solihull? I am also sick of all the bleating over the years. I thought that might have come to an end, but sadly not.
He is the CEO of CRFC so he is speaking for the club. On that basis he can shove any interest I may have had in attending that fixture up his Butts. We are clearly not welcome.

There are probably more talented players looking for a spot than there has ever been. For a couple of seasons at least Wasps could attract players if they believe they can ride with them back to the Premiership.
Got to admit I am a little cautious about all of this. I want to see Wasps rise, but not sure If like where that takes them. I don't really have much desire or stomach to watch Premiership and have preferred following our ex-players in French teams. Really hope the reorganisation is more than just painting over cracks...

I have been to a few Solihull Moors games with a friend who is a supporter. They have had quite a rise up over the last few years and play an exciting game scoring lots of goals, but conceding a few as well (so at least they have that ethos in common!). It seems to be a lot of local people's second team. They are currently in the National League and pretty competitive often getting close to going up.
I felt the atmosphere was quite similar to rugby, offen supporters would not be segregated, but tend towards their own end. They have been growing the facilities quite well.
There was quite a lot of unrestricted local parking on street within a 5-10minute walk in the side roads off of Damson Parkway and surrounds, although I guess that may change if numbers keep increasing.

I am also now a Tiger owner. Slightly concerned about all of these Tigers on a Wasps board!
I didn't understood why the adventure bikes were so popular until I sat on one at a showroom... Lovely riding position and a little bit of wind protection makes my weekly 100mile commute a joy when the temp is above 5C!

Wasps Rugby Discussion / Re: Interesting tweet from Bobby
« on: October 24, 2022, 03:12:09 PM »
I think we have to expect the worst now. For a while it was like so many Wasps games that were set to change one way or the other in the last few minutes of the game, but instead of a clear final whistle, the game just petered out until no one was playing.
