I think Shugs‘s eyes have finally been opened, given the issues he is now raising on both forums. Surprised he hasn’t been banned fro Once A Wasp.

That tackle, or should I say assault, on Dabo!

Just seen the tackle on Dabo on the highlights. Two footed and off the floor surely. How was that not a red?

You should have left Drunken Wasps earlier😀

Just listened to most of “Rugby Pod” on Amazon Prime. Long interview with Vaughan. Richardson said that he wasn’t going to put any more money in some time ago (without his guarantee the auditors wouldn’t be able to sign off accounts on going concern basis). Richardson sees that the value is in...

Very fluid. Wasps a convenient smoke screen behind which all sorts of stuff has gone on - including the £35m bond.

No - front man at best. Or just registering a company name like used to happen with domain addresses with a view to a potential sell on of a shell company at some point.

Planning permission can remain intact of a period of years, domestically I think you have to start something within 3 years. Will building start with no finance - I suspect not. There was also the press coverage about Wasps not having paid the lease money for the site, as it wasn’t going to...

If only Sisu knew you can build things with no money.

Today was the day the administrators were hoping to push someone in front of the RFU.

It’s a story that been bandied around for a while, but I have never seen any definitive evidence that supports it. Someone else may have a source but I haven’t seen it quoted.

Further to my earlier response, just checked agenda and papers for the October meeting. The Richardson loan application for £12.5m loan for a hotel is no longer on the relevant dashboard. So - application withdrawn or fell by the wayside.

I’m surprised it’s still on Augusts report. It was always in Richardsons name, not Wasps - as I pointed out ages ago in one of their forums, alongside all the other Richardson companies designed to exploit the area around the arena.

The application was “withdrawn” because the proposal hadn’t been progressed.

IIRC it has fallen away due to inaction.

almost certainly not commercially, would existing investors stump up more if combining the club and the arena could lead to a sale? As someone else has posted, I would imagine that bidders will wait until it ends up being a fire sale under administration.

I don’t suppose any of us have any idea what the best part of a 250 year lease is worth. £35m would see the bondholders off on their merry way though.

It won’t, for reasons in my edited post.

Don’t get me wrong, I can’t see how they could not make a bid for the arena at around £35 million and then talk about spending a similar amount on a new build unicorn.

That was 10 years ago. The regulations allow a promoted team to buy the P share. At the moment there is no promoted team, so PRL would take it back. Also, the PRL are talking about a reduction to a 10 team league and the remaining teams will take the benefit of increased central allocations as...
