Probably utter conjecture but, from a friend of a friend of a wasps employee.......


Just heard via a Wasps employee that they’re about to file for insolvency to wipe out all the debt and bond money, it’ll automatically cancel players contracts and they’ll go back to being an amateur club, there’s no money in the club whatsoever and all funding avenues have been declined. Unsure on what happens to the stadium but likely to be sold


Got that on whatsapp


Adds up. Cant afford to maintain pitch. All transfers stopped, no new kit, no parking, no further update due until all the CWG was over..


Have a little natter amongst yourselves about it.

I hope to fucking god its true

I realise what you are saying is conjecture at the moment but IF this were true our landlords would revert back to CCC that would be interesting.

It depends what level of employee, but it's not uncommon for employees to have inside info on their company.

A wise man once said, never post on SBT in wind an opinion or second hand information, due to the chance of flying shit coming back your way. Think its Chinese well that's what my mate told me anyway..

Might be something in this, I asked someone who states they have connections….his reply

Heard arena is, think rugby club is separate but not sure. Mate who knows says basically COVID has destroyed business plan and stadium repairs too much

then this

Mate says heard nothing but the owner has stopped two player signings in last two weeks and apparently season ticket sales are at 5,000 tops and other income streams from stadium complex like hotel, casino and conferences have dried up and they made huge part of business plan so little to no income due to Covid

shit for their fans tbh, they aren’t to blame

Seems we have a mutual friend. Does he like hovering around bins waiting for you to throw something in?

This place is the best, i sometimes feel like an alien abductee, where hours just go missing of a day. And once out, knowing you are still none the wiser of what is really going on. Its genius.

I would be very surprised if they had 5000 season ticket holders if I’m honest
