Wasps facing relegation

[Bloke in North Dorset]

Premier TV cover French Top 14. Most weeks there are a few live matches plus extensive highlights over the week. They also cover the URC (with Dai's Cardiff) showing every match live (better than BT).

You've mentioned them a few times but I've never bothered to look because I have BT and I've been able to watch enough games at weekends and with PRTV available all Wasps games.

If we do go under I'll be cancelling BT and telling them why and will not be supporting PRTV for the same reason.

Having now had a look at the website you're right, that's the way to go if it gets to the stage of canning BT.

Still would like to see games in the flesh , so would look at going to nearest/easiest to get to championship side. Would also toy with looking at premier tv purely to follow La Rochelle - at least they play in the right colours!

I've always quite enjoyed watching Guildford play.  There is free parking and a decent coffee van and you can watch from the sidelines.  Admittedly they're pretty terrible, but still better than Sarries.

If the sport can't sustain 13 pro teams, how could it support two leagues of 10?

Can't sustain in its current format.  There's no immediate increase in revenues coming - Attendances aren't going to suddenly swell, nor are TV deals going up.  So the only option is to reduce costs in line with revenues; fewer games and a reduced cap. 

If you can bring costs down in line with revenues, then you have sustainable clubs.  It doesn't necessarily rely on crowd growth to work - although I think as a result of fewer games with more predictability of internationals playing you'll see a steady increase in matchday attendance.

Coming out of the anaesthetic from my op, I had two dreams:
1 that my 2nd Total Knee Replacement op this year would be as successful as the first, and
2 that 🐝 future would have been successfully assured.
Well the first dream is going to plan, just hope we’ll get some good news on the 2nd this week.

Wow! Am I still under the influence of the anaesthetic? Or is Dream 2 inching closer?

Unfortunately Ritb I don't think so!  But I do hope your knee is better very soon.

Pudsey tweet “Trust the process” with a copy of the Wasps badge.

Yes a strange one.

I just had a "match starting soon" alert on my phone.
That was quite depressing
