Don't know about that but going slightly off topic, it makes my blood boil knowing that the egg chasers were playing on OUR pitch yesterday.

Being tied to Wasps would be a disaster. They're even more of a financial shitshow than we are.

Unless, buy us, buy Wasps, then sell Wasps to someone who wants to move them back to London. Wishful thinking I know.

Buy it all and split London Wasps away and shut it down or give it away but with no option to play in Coventry.

don't know if CRFC supporters would like this or hate it but could you in theory merge CRFC and Wasps, have the new club all under CRFC name and branding but playing in the Premiership?

I suspect they'd like it as much as we would if someone suggested we merge with another club.

Yes Clive did mention that he’d heard a rumour about someone looking at buying both the Sky Blues and Wasps.

Why would anyone want to buy Wasp, they lose £10m a season, and there is no money to be made. A championship football club with the potential to get to the Premiership and if relegated still collect £100m yes

Yeah, I heard that while queueing to get away from the ground. Didn't sound like a "what if".

CRFC tried this before, when they attempted to merge with Bedford who were a Premiership club at the time. Not sure if it didn't happen because of rugby's regulations, or because of other factors between the 2 clubs involved though.

That would of been stupid, it's not like Bedford are an MK Dons or something, plenty of history with both them and Cov

Some of his tackles would still be fouls in Rugby.

That really is the worst of both worlds.

I'm an infrequent visitor to the Butts (City take priority). However, I've always enjoyed my sojourns to see CRFC.

Merging the two would see the mutant club playing at the CBS (Boo!) and would leave the Butts empty.

There's no way the Butts would meet current criteria for top level rugby.

Even oggy agreed with that Phil. Clive will admit he couldn’t provide a comeback to the argument against london wasps and SISU.

Fair play to Oggy, he's beginning to start questioning things. Something the old guard at CWR would never.

So there is someone looking at both? Is this ITK or just a guess?

someone with deep pockets would be needed in that situation.

Even he was getting impatient at the lack of subs yesterday. Not sure what Clive meant by saying 'Wasps paid for it' at the same time as 'the football club gave them a loan' though.
