    Wasps current finances & hope

    I'm not sure if this would work either, but I find that if I check the latest bond price, read your post out loud, and then add an evil cackle at the end, it cheers me up every time. Mwah ha haa etc. :)

    Wasps current finances & hope

    Watched the highlights from the Wasps game last night, if there was more than 8000 there in reality, I'd be amazed. Either way, to lose at home to a newly promoted side isn't exactly going to bring the undecided fans back. And it must really hurt some of them to have to look at an stand with...

    Nigel Benn to return to boxing aged 55

    It's a terrible idea, if for no other reason that concussion risks for over-40s are considerably increased. It's one of the things that put me off 'white collar' boxing; well that and the thought of being punched by someone younger, stronger, faster and fitter than me, which would be just about...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. AFC Wimbledon Match Thread - Tuesday 17th Sep

    I'm sure he'll be too polite to say anything, but when he starts turning the lights off and puts his pyjamas on, then it's probably time to leave.

    Wasps current finances & hope

    As others have said, it doesn't directly affect them on a day-to-day basis, but I can't help but think that it might have an impact on how much it costs them to finance the bond maturity when that comes around. Can't say that I'm particularly sad about that. :)

    The October rumour

    I'd politely disagree here, OSB, I think the price primarily reflects the risk. When Wasps were flying, the bond price soared; since the accounting mishaps, a more accurate picture of the real financial state, and the lack of success on the pitch, the price has tumbled. Don't get me wrong, a...

    New Baby

    Congratulations mate, and welcome to your new life as a father. It's a bit knackering for the first few months, and what I found is no sooner do you settle into a routine, than they change and you have to start again. It's the most rewarding job you'll ever have though. My only advice would...

    I know the end game ..

    Without wishing to defend SISU, it doesn't feel to me like the club is in the process of being wound down. To start with, we're still spending money on signings. My guess is that they're hanging on in with minimal input in the hope that we get lucky and get promoted, making us slightly more...

    Match Thread Polite Notice (AKA Grendel, Nick & Orca's Argument Thread)

    In fairness mate, I think at least some if not all of those emails were in response to the PR battle that the Council/Wasps had started around the time that they'd pulled the plug on negotiations. I wouldn't swear to it, as I haven't got the timeline to hand, but I think there were more than a...

    Match Thread Polite Notice (AKA Grendel, Nick & Orca's Argument Thread)

    I think what you mean is this place is seen as extremely biased by anyone who struggles to blame parties beyond SISU for our plight. In itself of course, that's a meaningless statement. Whatever the argument about how representative it is, there are a significant proportion of dIe hard city...

    Tyler Walker deal done???

    As neat and tidy as Roland Nilsson's haircut. ISB, you've nailed it here mate. :)

    Gregor Robertson article in The Times today

    Only problem here, NW. is that the Trust don't seem to be holding other parties to account, their sole focus has been the owners pretty much from the time that the trust was reformed. Where has that got us? Every time there's a newspaper article and they go to the Trust for a quote, my heart...

    Ask Neil

    That's pretty poor, especially after insisting on you jumping through a number of hoops. The people running the trust just don't seem to get it, do they. I can't see the trust achieving anything positive now - they're never going to be seen as honest arbiters by the owners, and even worse...

    Thomas to Barnsley

    He might have missed a few chances for sure, but he found those positions through determination and intelligence. Even if he didn't finish himself, he'd pull the defence around and get them worrying; in itself that makes chances for others. I think there's every chance he'll do pretty well...

    Blimey mate, you know how to bring a bloke down. I'd pay good money to get to 5' 9". :)

    so wasps were involved ?

    Having been through redundancy more than once, it's horrible for anyone to lose their job. I hope it's not just the senior management who get a decent payoff and an easy switch into a new role, but I suspect that's how it will turn out. Which got me thinking, how much will it take out of the...

    You can only land on or leave the Ricoh station on non match days. Unless you've got a Wasps flag. :)
