I think it's a fair point to raise if needed. So far in trying to sort out their training ground Wasps have tried getting our academy kicked out of Higgs, broken promises to Old Leamingtonians which led to the Royal Leamington Spa Archery Club (Olympic archers among those who used the...

Got to admit this has had a much bigger impact than I hoped it would. If nothing else its got the indemnity in the media and a CWR presenter to say Wasps kicked us out. Need to keep the spotlight on the indemnity as that is the key thing at the moment. Neil from the trust is now trying to...

There's lots of differing opinions on here but the vast majority of posters do actually show an interest in the club and the ones who don't are pretty quickly called out on it. IMO that's very different to someone who spends hours every day searching out people on social media who dare to have...

Been asked for months for info by their own members and nothing. Even claiming they were too busy and would need to be full time to respond. Got this out pretty quickly though didn’t they. Doesn’t really address the issues, if anything it illustrates why people are unhappy with their actions.

I know next to nothing about rugby but figured it was worth a post as its come from people knowledge on the game with contacts at one of the Premiership clubs not mentioned as potential departures. Think the international thing only works if the majority support it. Looking at the three clubs...

Since when wasn't it CWR anyway?

Speaking to the guys at my head office today who are rugby nuts they are convinced they're going to jump ship to another league without restrictions in place and that Bath, who apparently have objected to the cap before, and one other (Leicester was mentioned) could join them. Said there would...

Get the impression from posts he made on twitter after his very sudden disappearance that he'd been too critical of certain organisations in the city. He literally disappeared off air overnight.

Its a he, Paul Cook. Ask any of the stewards at the Ricoh about him and you won't hear many positive things! Some people tried pointing out issues, politely I should add, to him on twitter but his attitude was very much he knows better than everyone else despite the issues being obvious to any...

Good news, our chums in Sunderland have been screwed over. Turns out the promises Johnson made when he was up there on the campaign trail aren't going to be kept throwing fresh doubt over Nissans future there.

According to the rugby fans at my work the other clubs refused to take players off them. As the league also wouldn't allow them to pay off players contracts to get them off the wage bill it was pretty much impossible for them to get under the cap in the period of time allowed.

Hard to believe they're the only club doing it, might be the most extreme example but there's no way the other clubs aren't trying to find ways around the cap. Theoretically is there anything to stop them now joining another league? If they joined Pro14 that could have a knock on effect to the...

Depends what it includes. £800K including match days costs, hospitality, car park etc isn’t too bad. £800K and then pay for everything else on top is very different. Always the problem when talking about stadium rents, it’s hardly ever comparing like with like.

Wasn’t Wheels only ever a temporary thing until the council decided what they were doing there? Maybe it’s closing because that’s where our new ground will be!!!

He’s got mixed up with the EFL bond hasn’t he? Think that was £1m but doesn’t have to be paid unless we confirm we are never coming back to Cov so seems more like box ticking from the league.

Doesn’t the announcer normally welcome the away fans anyway? Just add it in there, quick round of applause and then get on with the match. Don’t think it needs more than that, wouldn’t object to some joint SOTV chants!

Watched them all again last year, still brilliant and pretty much everything on there still applies today.

Our head office (not in Cov) is full of rugby nuts. They say the other clubs can’t / won’t take the players. That means they either stay where they are or move abroad. Also said if they move abroad could weaken the national side as they tend to not select players who aren’t playing here - no...

Sure it’s a coincidence that this happens when a couple of the supposedly bigger name teams are in a relegation battle.

Aren't they asking for the impossible? The players will be under contract and it says any payment to terminate the contract will count towards the cap. How are they legally supposed to get rid of contracted players without paying them?
