Just think football is a bit more difficult than cricket due to the much higher risk/reward element - promotion, relegation etc values. but Pl clubs confuse me with the huge money they spend on non-elite overseas players whilst they have had years to perfect expensive academies.

This England team has such momentum. Now a 18 year old pops in and takes 5 on debut - more impressive as he's done against players brought up on spin. Barring a complete meltdown it's a 3-0 win in Pakistan One of the "benefits" of the COVID season was a lot of teenagers getting county cricket -...

Bit pointless. He's not hard to find. Lives near my mum.

Rugby family died when the sport went professional. Then it became a business and competition moved off the field as well as being on it. It is such a weak and naive argument about Rugby family. Where was Wasps concern about moving in on Worcester and CRFC's territory? None. They made a business...

Don't blame them. Think it's about rugby authorities trying to minimize damage. Not easy to attract funding, sponsorship etc if clubs are failing. Apparently other clubs still at risk so want to create a process for others to recover if needs be. At least 4 or 5 Premier clubs surviving due to...

Now that's another good win against a really good side. Really Lions only big defeat this season. Tough game against Jets but an outside chance of 9-8. That's real progress . Pederson a good coach.

How the hell can you have so many empty seats at a World cup final?

Don't think France are that good anyway ,- defence in particular.

Probably most ridiculous Vikings game I've ever seen. Everything that could go wrong did in the first half. Keep winning in spite of the defence. How Donatell is still there I have no idea !! Officials garbage yet again

I'd see that as damning stat. Means a large proportion of their season ticket holders weren't locals/part of the community etc.

If it is Solihull can we hope CT will be stopping Wasps love in?

3 years in Solihull then home to London?

just suicidal for CRFC. Wasps probably have sufficient funds to produce a promotion team and that would swallow CRFC. but wouldn't Wasps need a certain size stadium to play in the Premiership if they got promoted? Can cover the 5000 requirement now but would need to be a 10000 capacity by...

Somewhere in there you'd think Wasps would have to say where they are going to play their home games

One had 30m debt, the other 95m+ debt. Go figure. Possibly Worcester messier because of the ongoing issues of previous owners flogging assets to themselves for pennies

Other issue with Wasps staying is that they are then in direct competition with CRFC. Could possibly understand some new fans wanting to watch the "best" clubs when going to Wasps in PL - no excuse if they are both in Div 1. Wasps had always claimed them moving to Coventry wouldn't have a...

Whole concept (bond aside) was that the stadium business would have to finance the rugby side for it to be successful. Sponsorship (brand toxicity a factor as well) & F&B are not that significant in Rugby generally or with the crowds Wasps could attract - basically they create the possibility...

That's just devastating. The poor family just ripped to pieces.

Hard for FG to justify 2 levels of rent for same level of service. New Wasps aren't going to able to give away the large number of free tickets their predecessor did. This season showed the "fanbase" with averages attendance of 8k and that was boosted by Northampton bringing a decent away...

It's an interesting transiston. Look at the 50 over games from 10 plus years ago. Totals were much lower but it was pre-whiteball. But scores recently can be 2 plus runs per over better than old games. This new approach is great but there will be occasions where conditions dictate a little more...
