Always a Wasp

What happens to shares of TV revenue if a team with no P shares operates in the Prem? Surely no team would agree to play in a live televised game without receiving some payment for it - P shares or not.

Just assembling a squad capable of competing and consolidating in the Championship has to be the first priority. There are some really good well-established teams in the Championship and talk of promotion is a bit premature for a club that only exists on paper at the moment.

Agreed. I do wonder if I even want Wasps to be in that at all. I mean, in the long term, for individual clubs, it isn't sustainable. The sugar daddy would have some form of attachment to the club, and when they depart, everything falls apart.

I can see it now. The EA's rising to the top of a cesspit of corruption.

I'll be making the effort to go across to Pau to go and watch Dobby play at some point.

At this rate, I'm not sure I'll be making much effort to watch any rugby at all. I'm not sure I'm even going to bother watching England tomorrow.

Rugby, in the land of its birth, is dying on its arse. Elite rugby is controlled by a shrinking, self-serving EPL with less teams, less players, less games, less fans, less exposure, less interest and surely less revenue and less investment. At all other levels, an incompetent RFU is determined to create division, and possibly two separate versions of the sport, by introducing new laws for some but not for others, based on nefarious "evidence" and causing dismay among just about everybody who enjoys watching and playing the game. 

Wherever we play we need to generate an atmosphere. Hard to do at CBS when only a third full, even harder at the Alex sat a mile away from pitch.

I really don’t give a shit about Coventry rugby or football club. I have never know an area bitch so much. I hope we score 50+ against them next season

Steady on. CRFC are playing well - and we haven't even got a team yet. 

Watched Moseley beat Plymouth Albion today. Ben Morris was playing at 7. Ignoring the yellow card he picked up for a tip-tackle, he played very well.

Morning all... been away and catching up on the Wasps news feels like we're in a much better place than we were a couple of weeks back.

Good to see both us and Worcester being "saved", and plans being laid for next season.

I know there's other threads about it but seeing the lads signing for other sides en masse (as opposed to the usual churn post-season) is pretty rough. Great news for them, but Josh in a Quins shirt... Charlie in a Tigers one... oof.

Anyway, just checking in really. Looking forward to next season now!

Being a natural pessimist, I'm not counting my chickens just yet.
