Wasps mustn’t be doing that bad-they have just got planning permission for a new center of excellence at the Old Leamingtonians Rugby club just outside Leamington?
No they haven't. They have not put the planning application in yet!Wasps mustn’t be doing that bad-they have just got planning permission for a new center of excellence at the Old Leamingtonians Rugby club just outside Leamington?
Good idea for the Warwick and Leamington supporters clubNo they haven't. They have not put the planning application in yet!
Also the broadstreet planning runs out in October 19.
They need to get broadstreet extended or the leamington one buklt quick.
Would be a shame if people put in loads of objections unless they agree to ricoh talks.
They won't put their hands in their pockets for it. It'll be paid for buy investors. Same way they bought the Ricoh and had a new screen fitted. Doesn't mean they're 'doing well'.Wasps mustn’t be doing that bad-they have just got planning permission for a new center of excellence at the Old Leamingtonians Rugby club just outside Leamington?
So much for a state of the art new facility that would benefit the people of Coventry. Quickly went from that to being them using an existing facility to not even being in the city.Why were questions never asked/answered about why?

Isn't that old news?CT just ran a story suggesting some of Wasps 'stars' contracts are tied to new training facility being built.
Its in today's story pub. @ 16:53, 10 DEC 2018 and its the first time I heard that line.Isn't that old news?
Its definitely been reported before elsewhere. Something along the lines of the players weren't happy that the facilities they were promised haven't materialised so have clauses in their contracts allowing them to leave if Wasps don't come good on their promises.Its in today's story pub. @ 16:53, 10 DEC 2018 and its the first time I heard that line.
The Telegraph regurgitating old news stories??? I won't believe it!Its definitely been reported before elsewhere.

Shhhh, if their best players want to leave then let them. It's only a ripple in the ocean, but all these ripples will eventually become part of a wave.Most of the players hardly train at the place anyway
Ha - I asked this very same question when I saw the article yesterday. Waiting for them to come back to me, but I suggested that unofficially (as don't get involved in off-field issues) that all local find a reason to object and then tell them that we will all withdraw those objections if and when they start negotiations with CCFC. They may not give a hoot, but it wont cost anything to object but will cost W*sps time and possibly money, to fight them all. Hitting them in the pocket (as they are not as deep as SISU's) might make a small difference for us.Good idea for the Warwick and Leamington supporters club
Clubs are being encouraged to yes, but will w***s need some of that £17m to repay investors from the Ricoh purchase?!I would think that part of the build costs will be paid for by various grants that will be available, particularly as it is a community site
Also if the sale of part of the rugby premiership goes through that will probably give Wasps around £17m. Clubs are being encouraged to spend the windfall on infra-structure
from what i understand most of the players live in the Leamington/Warwick area now
This is one of the most mental plans I've ever heard of in any sport. Selling your league to a third party is just asking for trouble. Look how many clubs have huge problems because of the owners they end up with, now imagine if it was the whole league.Also if the sale of part of the rugby premiership goes through that will probably give Wasps around £17m.

You can't put the genie back in the bottle, once they've done it they'll be on a slippery slope until the clubs have zero control.
Blows my mind that other sports look at the financial mess in football and decide that is the route to go down.All Rugby Premiership clubs are fucked with the exception of Exeter, selling the family silver to fund day to day operations.
They probably see clubs like Bournemouth and Huddersfield making vast sums of money and don't think about clubs like us Pompey etc. that it has totally destroyed.Blows my mind that other sports look at the financial mess in football and decide that is the route to go down.
Premiership rugby can't even say its a historical issue, its a new league and clubs only turned pro a few years back. Every opportunity to set it up sustainably for a secure long term future but they decided against it.
