Don't have any inside info other than I know Dave Boddy is regularly talking to his Wasps counterpart
If we do go back I wonder if scrums will be allowed in rugby union when it returns?
Common sense would say that the two front rows can't be breathing into each other's faces every few minutes until the virus is gone or there's a vaccine
It's the scrums that tear the pitch up

As a prop*, I’m deeply offended by this entire post.

Just to throw more fuel onto this fire, has anyone noticed the remaining rearranged fixtures for a certain London rugby team does not include any games on a Saturday!

I would give a link but I just don't want to give them any internet traffic

though that would mean the Championship season starting in August when I thought it wasn't going to start until September?

It is a bit weird though. I had a look at the remain fixtures for the whole league and there's loads of Saturday games for all the other clubs

Either end of August or mid September (not 1st week of September due to it being designated for international games)

NDA? Until the the I’s are dotted and T’s crossed. Don’t know why I answered tbf. I’m not a theorist. Just a sit-and-wait-ist

I don't think the deal is done.
Someone on here said the other day the rent is the stumbling block and that ties up with what I heard yesterday.
And if that is the case does that mean wasps have removed the indemnity demand?

If it’s just rent, then a deal will be agreed. It’ll be just posturing

Fingers crossed that's true, I don't think we would have got to rent nitty gritty if there was still a massive elephant in the room around the indemnity. Hopefully means both sides have wound their necks in and can come to something fair for everyone

29th August and 12th September are the two potential starts.

Although I've heard that some clubs don't want to start the season until fans are allowed in. 'Could' delay things a little unless the work out how they can get fans in safely.

It could be just a rumour. The person who told has a mixed record when it comes to inside info on the City.

Don’t see why rent would be an issue when it was agreed last year unless us being promoted has made Wasps ask for more.

I'd be shocked if they didn't, with the leap in money and number of fans that we will get in the championship

Let's just hope that they aren't asking for a silly amount as a way of stopping us playing there

I think it’s stupid. Would be like my landlord charging me more cos I got a promotion. Unless we need more of the ground open of course.

Didn't we pay matchday costs, stewarding, etc. anyway?

They will make more from F and B.

Would think the stands would come under matchday costs.

Yeah but I can sort of understand if we needed one stand open and now it’s two or three that we might need to pay a bit more base rent.

There's rumours of them wanting to whack the rent up to over £1m but its always hard to work out where these rumours started and if there's anything to them.

Can't see the club agreeing a rent similar to the one we were originally paying before breaking the lease.
