Wasps Rugby Discussion / Wasps update February 2024
« on: February 26, 2024, 09:16:26 AM »
OUR JOURNEY UPDATE ? FEBRUARY 2024
Wasps continues its substantial efforts to return the men's and women's teams to the highest level possible of performance rugby. In October 2023 we outlined the 3 pillars that define our intent and our direction of travel. They are:
A competition entity
One that is fit for purpose and reflects the values that WASPS and others adhere to.
Sustainable finance
The cornerstone of our recovery relies on sustainable finance and a robust business plan that avoids a single point of failure.
A stadium in which to play
We have made substantial progress in the establishment of a suitable ground in which to play as we progress the planning for our new stadium.
What has changed?
We can now inform you that we have secured the core Sustainable finance and a Stadium in which to play. All we are waiting for is a competition to join that will allow us to compete at the highest level - and one that shares our values.
As we navigate through our most challenging period, this is a call to all of you who have shared this journey with us. Whatever entity we join will want to know the level of support we enjoy. By signing up to our new database, you're not just showing support; you're becoming a foundational part of our return.
Every sign-up is a step towards revival, a testament to the enduring legacy and the future potential of our club - your club. Be part of our story.
Please take two minutes to sign the pledge and share with your friends and family.

« on: October 24, 2023, 11:19:56 AM »I know it?s a very personal thing but I can?t see the direct correlation between not being able to attend matches and not following Wasps. I quite understand that the live matchday experience is great but there is a lot around that and, as others have said, there are away games and TV.
+1 people manage to support Premier League football teams from the other side of the world without ever realistically having the chance to see them live. Each to their own though.

Wasps Rugby Discussion / Re: Well done England
« on: October 22, 2023, 12:33:07 PM »Surprised to see that no one had started a thread to congratulate England on their performance yesterday,. That was not a training run for SA
I was surprised to see that no one had started one to moan about something England related! Nothing seems to unite this forum like being negative about England regardless of the circumstances.

1 year to the day since the club went in to administration. Feels like a lifetime ago.

Wonder if there's a signature from a Mr Joseph Marler, given that he's retweeted this post from Guy Thompson https://x.com/GuyThompson87/status/1709863104266248612?s=20
Quite astonishing to have a current England player endorse such a damning statement of the RFU chief - speaks volumes!

From the same magic money tree they've found to spend ?220 million on the professional women's game by 2032 presumably. Not sure where the return on that 'investment' will be.

Oh dear. At least Bill Sweeney's pockets will be nicely lined when there are no clubs left.
