Or, what was the biggest selling model of car in the world between 1980 and 2000?

Wasps Rugby Discussion / Wasps Rugby in Marlow
« on: September 23, 2021, 04:12:13 PM »
For those that can't make the CBS Arena, Steve Blake, long time Wasps supporter and former player for Marlow RFC is now landlord at The Duke, Queen's Road, Marlow SL7 2PS. Steve has established a new supporters group entitled "Wasps Rugby in Marlow" and will be showing Wasps fixtures (plus others) this season. Full details at https://www.facebook.com/groups/448267289823390.
I watched the Lions matches there and it was a great atmosphere in a traditional local pub.

Wasps Rugby Discussion / Re: Congratulations
« on: January 19, 2020, 09:42:45 AM »There have been no announcements about relegation other than Sarries. I would like it confirmed that there will be no relegation for the team that comes bottom ignoring Sarries position.
We, including me, have assumed that there would be no other relegation but I would just like that confirmed.
Yes, I'd quite like this to be clarified.
I spent many years helping to administer a cricket league and we followed the ECB's "model discipline regulations". These allow for relegation of a team for misconduct. When (only once fortunately) this cropped up we still relegated the bottom team at the end of the season as this was as expected by the other clubs. We promoted 2 from the lower division to compensate. Big difference I know between the Premiership and a local cricket league but......

My son (far more knowledgeable than me) tells me regulations were introduced last season so that, in order to be promoted from the championship, a team needs to show compliance with the salary cap for 2 seasons - the season of promotion and the season prior.
He seems to think that the EAs will therefore be in the championship for at least 2 seasons. Can anyone confirm (or counter) this?

Why aren't 'Y' shaped posts (as in American Football) used? Would remove this issue completely.

Wasps Rugby Discussion / Re: Saracens docked 35 points
« on: November 18, 2019, 03:25:32 PM »Can the other 11 clubs gang-up to get them relegated and then vote for ring-fencing?
As the other 11 (12) clubs have a combined majority shareholding in PRL I think it is entirely reasonable that further announcement will follow in the next couple of weeks or so. Derek is certainly both aware and sympathetic to the views of the majority of rugby supporters.

Wasps Rugby Discussion / Re: Another Debut Referee
« on: November 15, 2019, 02:12:51 PM »
I don't mind rookie refs. I think they tend to be very black and white so everyone knows where they stand. It's the refs who are famous in their own right that I find frustrating.

Blaming players is a moot point but also according to Danny Care on the BBC podcast a "blind eye" was turned. That does not make it acceptable.
There's a request on this clip from 8 Mar 19 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdG2NnBj0Fw by Craig Doyle on behalf of Premiership Rugby for whistle blowers to come forward.
I wonder if this happened?

Does anyone know the substance of the 2015 investigation? Did it involve co-investments such as Wolfpack Lager (founded 2014)? Is this where the defense of "PRL approved of this in the past" comes from?
