I remember a report saying that one of the Wasps directors had turned up at a property development conference and described Wasps as a property development company which just happened to have a rugby club attached.
Shows what a prick he is though given it shows hes had the capability to ask these questions for the last 7 years but is only bothered now wasps are unpopular.

Here is my take on Gilbert and Wasps: The last chapter (albeit entitled "Sting in the tail"!) in his book "Coventry City, a club without a home" is pretty fair and astute; the angry "comments" immediately above seem to refer to other issues. Published in 2016, it was very critical of some Wasps/D.Richardson behaviours which still seem endemic (a preference for backdoor deals, pass-the-parcel financing, complicated interlocking business structures) but he was certainly not naively approving of the other actors Gilbert also pointed how futile it would be it the compromise between Public Authorities + Charity, CCFC and the new-comer Wasps were to bust open again - as soon happened thereafter. CCFC seem to have been treated pretty shabbily in 2016 (pitch dimensions, damage, and use of home changing room) even before Wasps arrived on the scene; but again, these issues seem to remain endemic. Gilbert (knows his readership) probably has bigger problems with the club's own owners, SISU, than with anyone else... |

They did but you never know if there’s a hybrid agreement that might work - sadly the way the press are going someone will pull wasps from the shit but Worcester look doomed but hey white knights only arrive at the last minute literally - from experience you understand !

The crazy thing is that Sisu might actually have been able to attract some funding to develop some real estate in the arena area.
What I can't get my head round is professional rugby and the Premiership are both relatively new. They had every chance of setting things up in a way that would have been sustainable long term but instead have for some reason decided rugby is going to suddenly be as popular as football if they throw enough money at it.
I'll keep banging this drum. Rugby Union isn't as big as it thinks it is.
What actually is happening with the no news day yesterday, just nothing and wing it
