Maybe you could write in an application for them to get another £5 million in bogus government grants

They (as in the world at large not wasps specifically) should open an all Cov sports shop in the city centre. CCFC Wasps Blaze CRFC whoever else there is. Could have old Cov sports memorabilia and all sorts. Would annoy a few on here but I think it’d be great.

Good idea, as long as Wasps are not included.

I explicitly said not Wasps. I just like the idea of a Cov sports megastore.

Purely because Wasps are there and you see them as interlopers or something else?

Just about, yeah. Not overly comfortable with Blaze, either.

Christ knows how I'd cope if we ever do a full-blown collaboration with 'em all.

Going to be big changes in the rugby world and probably the football world too especially EFL and non league. What that has in store for Wasps we will have to wait and see, I just can’t see it being in their long term interest to deny ccfc sharing their stadium.

The government don't seem ready to hand over any bail out to sports. There was some money that went from the National Lottery to Sport England but that is aimed at grassroots. The plan for 'elite' sport seems to be for the top levels to bail out those in trouble, eg the Premier League helps the EFL. Problem is in rugby its the top teams that are in trouble.

Not a problem though as Vaughn says their hotel and exhibition businesses, unlike every other similar business, is thriving. Looks like Wasps fans have also decided that the new tenant, which the CT piece says is an office lease, is another team coming in to replace us in using the stadium bowl.

Looks like a big push will be happening from rugby to get the begging bowl out

Dear #TigersFamily | Here's how you can help

Leicester Tigers are asking for the #TigersFamily to assist the Premiership Rugby clubs’ appeal for Government assistance in the face of up to a year without matchday or stadium incomes.

Sports minister more or less said yesterday football at top level should sort things out themselves the money is there within sport. Talk of soon to be 4 million out of work and hardly any vacancies in any industry can you really see the Government, any Government aiding businesses out who pay thousands of pound per WEEK to a lot of their employees.

Can't see it happening as it opens up a huge, and very expensive, can of worms. Premiership Rugby has tried to position itself as second only to Premier League football. While we all know that is BS if they bail out top level rugby then they'd have to bail out every other sport. ECB for example have made numerous redundancies and are looking at moving from Lords to save money.

Where do you stop? If you bailout clubs like Wasps, who lets face it would struggle to make a convincing argument they are solvent given their other business and debt, how do you say no to the likes of CRFC, Blaze etc. Prem rugby clubs claim they are losing 500K a month. If you assume we're looking at next spring before crowds are fully back, at the earliest, then its a year without crowds and that's 72m just to cover that.

When Prem Rugby clubs go begging for money the sports minister should hand them a copy of the Telegraph article yesterday saying everything was fine and tell them to get stuffed.

While I think there's a lot to be said for having the wealthy elite of sports (esp football) contribute more towards the smaller clubs who're more vulnerable it has to be pointed out the massive contradiction this is compared to every other sector.

They're not telling Amazon to pay for the local high street, nor are they telling the rich to contribute to the poor to keep a roof over their head and food on their table. So why should PL pay for the EFL?

Either it's a good idea for those with more to help out, in which case it should be rolled out across the industries and society, or it's not and they shouldn't be asking them in the first place.

As the premiership rugby clubs are on par with the football premiership as they try and claim.

In theory the Premiership rugby teams should be helping the lower leagues. But doesn't appear thats even been suggested. Funny that.

Government rules are currently preventing spectators from attending rugby matches but some of Wasps' Premiership rivals are using their facilities to host match-based functions for away games

Thought you couldn't show sports in hospitality venues at the moment as they were worried people wouldn't maintain social distancing?

Edit: Found it, not allowed to show broadcasts which may encourage shouting. Look forward to them trying this and getting a nice big fine.

There was a Vicar on BBC breakfast the other day who suggested he was likely to break any potential future restrictions that prevented services going ahead.

You can run events with up to 30 ppl to be fair - albeit, likely without showing broadcasts.

I'm going to an evening with Paul Merson this evening in Sheffield, me, him and 28 others. Cozy...but socially distanced.

With the prices shown online for rent it won't be to hard to work out how much someone is paying as a maximum
