    Wasps downward spiral...

    not really sure what point you're trying to make here. personally I don't see how the attendance being the same here as at Adam's Park makes moving a club across the country acceptable. If the crowds had been bigger at Northampton or Birmingham should we have accepted being there permanently?

    Wasps downward spiral...

    The move to Adams Park was similar to our moves to Northampton and Birmingham, far from ideal but, at least according to those in charge, done out of necessity with a promise to return at the earliest opportunity. That's very different to moving permanently halfway across the country.

    Wasps downward spiral...

    If you, or anyone else, cares to dig far enough back you'll find a post from me in response to our old friend Italia where I posted a bunch of quotes for other Premiership rugby clubs forums. Italia used to make the same claim, that nobody but a few of our fans objected to the move.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    there's a balance to be found I'm sure. lets not forget that some businesses, my employer for example, will be making a significant savings as they look to downsize their business premises. In an ideal world over time salaries will reflect this. If companies want you to go into the office to...

    Wasps downward spiral...

    That's the point, what happens if the only person interested in taking them on when Richardson wants to get out is a Wasps fan who wants them back in London. How do you untangle the mess.

    Wasps downward spiral...

    Of course it wouldn't, rugby barely registers on here at the best of times. But I would also suggest that if that had happened and someone had stuck a poll up the response would have been overwhelming negative. The vast majority of people, and I'm talking sports fans in general not just our...

    Wasps downward spiral...

    Couple of questions for our new friend. How do Wasps get out of this cycle? We know all too well how depressing it is sitting in a quarter full ground, given that Wasps aren't embedded in the community the way the football club there is far more chance of people just deciding they don't enjoy...

    Wasps downward spiral...

    This should be the thing that worries Wasps. They've had success while in Coventry and its barely registered with the locals. Then look at the response to the football club winning what is, I think we will all admit, a tin pot trophy. Let alone the success after that. It doesn't compare.

    Wasps downward spiral...

    'other media outlets locally' makes it sound like there's a lot of options. The reality is its the Telegraph and CWR and they've always sung from the same hymn sheet regarding both Wasps and SISU. Surely your argument that the facts are out there if people look for them and therefore don't...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    We're well past the point where anyone can claims these are mistakes. They repeatedly tell the complete opposite of the truth and there are no consequences but don't dare say in parliament that they are liars or you'll be kicked out.

    Things that annoy you

    I like 1,500 feet away from a school, my neighbours and the family across the road load their kids into the car every morning, drive to the school, drop them off and come back home :mad:

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    What is the actual proposal about mortgages, or is there not one and this is just another soundbite thrown out. When I was on furlough and not sure if I'd have a job to go back to I looked into benefit enitllement and as someone with a mortgage it was fuck all. I'd have been looking at losing...

    Cineworld bows to the bigots

    not a fan of his but he's spot on here. Its not Cineworld taking a decision to ban the film based on what is in it or objections from certain groups. Its them worrying about the safety of their staff, or more likely the potential for damage to the cinemas. Was this film even on anyone's radar...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Presumably if it was 'just a joke' there will be a believable explanation for why the already written article on the debate poll that showed Corbyn won by a country mile, and one in four Tory voters thought he was best was never published and why polling methodologies were changed to favour the...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I've got this on in the background, I often have stuff like that on as background noise, but this caught my attention. Head of Borders & Immigration for 14 months and not once has he met Patel. 6 meetings scheduled, 6 meetings cancelled by Patel. He doesn't sound happy at all says things are...

    Things that annoy you

    its horrible isn't it. Going through this at the moment, my Dad has advanced vascular dementia, you end up just waiting for them to die. There's zero quality of life and it just ends up becoming all consuming, I don't do anything now apart from visit my Dad or run around after my Mum, who...

    Best TV shows or movies you can recommend

    Just one episode to go, enjoying it. Clearly a lot of it is dramatised to say the least, they're coming up with all time classic songs in about 30 seconds but its def worth a watch.
