From the WW Forum - Wasps info
« on: February 18, 2023, 04:10:57 PM »
- The club is going to be called Worcester Warriors after all
- The team will be Stourbridge (at whatever level they finish the season) renamed as Worcester Warriors with new coaches and players
- If Stourbridge members reject the plan, WW will start at the bottom of the pyramid
- Wasps will play at Sixways for a 3 year period
- Wasps do have a plan to have their own stadium and will have moved out by the time WW reach the Championship
- Wasps will support the Foundation and provide players to play for WW

Seems very specific -
3 year period
Wasps own stadium
Move out in 3 years.

Agreed in principle so far.

All according to others not Wasps.

There are other faint rumours which might appear.

Interestingly the Worcester news guy has published it as fact - could be embarrassing.

Somebody lies. A deadly silence creates rumour.

Truth prpbably lies between the two.

Wasps might have agreed in principle, but nothing agreed in writing.

From the presentation by Atlas ...

4. RFU - Past, Present and Future - Wasps

Wasps agreement in principle to play at Sixways

# Until Warriors in Championship - minimum 3 years
# Aligned to allow them to build new home, funding Warriors growth back to Championship
# Double Header potential to drive crowds for Warriors Women and Worcester Warriors team
# Difference in this and Warriors Women tenancy - 2 separate businesses, but ...
# Four clubs; Worcester Warriors, Stourbridge, Warriors Women and Wasps working in ecosytem for greater good of rugby

There obviously more, but this is what pertained to Wasps

Note, it says 'in principle' not signed.

If it is actually not true the rugby press worldwide have a fair amount of egg splattered. Even NZ reporting it.
