I'm just hoping that wherever Wasps  wind up they will be able to implement a Wasps TV, and then we can join in.

Basically, Atlas, who Holland helped buy Sixways & WW, have gone into a pre-packed administration. Leaving Loxwood (CH) and "the local business community" owning everything. Some nice words about bring elite rugby back to 6 ways & making the location profitable (and keeping employees employed). Also confirms that the RFU have been advised that WW want to join the second tier

Chinnor in the champ. next season just down the road from Wycombe, playing in Thame, blew away national 1 this season, had a look at their ground the other week, very basic,  reckon 2500 cap. mostly all standing around the pitch, still I think you can get a pie and a pint in the marquee, might have a look in next season, Tom Cruse is forwards coach.

Thanks for posting.  Little Wasps content but what there is is positive if linked to WW comeback possibilities.

There are two pieces on their board - one by a female basically reading out a statement (sounds like) and the second is a bloke talking and kind of answering questions - both BBC people.

The only Champ club I have been to is Nottingham. Good position, easy to get to but basic facilities (single small stand) but they are trying hard. Large semi permanent marquee for food & drink for example. Their biggest problem is the Trent floods the pitch on a reasonably regular basis!
Very nice people though & well organised.

Yes, and don't forget that Coventry were the predominant team in England in the 70s, so have a legacy of support from then - and Bedford weren't so far behind them, at that stage and in the pre-Premiership years, so have retained their base support as well. For Coventry, read Leicester as a rough equivalent; for Bedford, read Gloucester. Either club would survive in the Premiership - if they ever could get there - at least as well as Newcastle, say, in terms of a fan income base.
