You got some inside info Nick?!
solihull?
They only have to look at the facts:That Nelly on there saying they will have money to get in a new pitch I hope they have to pay up front.
I hope Solihull are very careful as our former landlords don’t have a great reputation for paying for things and before they know it the Solihull players will have to change in their cars as the chasers will be demanding the changing rooms etc.
The one thing that Nelly does acknowledge but other wasps fans don’t “they inserted themselves into a bitter dispute between us and the council”That Nelly on there saying they will have money to get in a new pitch I hope they have to pay up front.

They have fucked off down south apparently.Six times smaller than our ground and they still won't fill it most of the time.
Wasps - fuck off down south for God's sake, and treat your real fans with some respect for once.
Exclusive: Premiership clubs 'heading for disaster' having amassed £300m in net debt
A joint investigation between Telegraph Sport and a rugby finance expert can reveal a number of clubs are financially under threatwww.telegraph.co.uk
Been saying it all along. reliance on benefactors, desperate CVC deal, bad management, lack of interest etc. Maybe Wasps fans should read this to find out where the real blame lays.
“It was a hotel, events coordinator, entertainment business and stadium which tacked on a rugby club. Multiple businesses being operated by people who were essentially rugby players, when you look at the boards, highly inexperienced and with a single individual with Derek Richardson providing funding. Not the sort of board you need to be running multiple businesses, you need the right skill-sets.
MMM will be fuming about this assessment of Eastwood and co:
Weren’t he coining it in from a car park? Wondering if he’ll be watching in solihullLike Italia, I assume he was also on the gravy train when they first moved here.
it's nonsense, none of the rugby players are drinking each others piss
waste of time. Could have come on our Wasps threads where exactly same conclusions were made for the last 2 yearsMPs issue damning report on 'unsustainable' Gallagher Premiership club finances, after Worcester, Wasps administrations
Amid annual losses averaging £4m per Premiership club, DCMS committee said: The demise during the season of two Premiership clubs is a stain on the reputation of the RFU and PRL. It is not indicative of a healthy professional set-up. The financial situation is clearly unsustainablewww.skysports.com
Perhaps by funding all of the local businesses they fkd over would be a good startNot sure the MP understands, he's saying the RFU should have kept Wasps alive? How?
Wasps new home 'set to be in Solihull' as takeover completed
The Telegraph newspaper said the new owners of the former European champions had chosen to relocatewww.birminghammail.co.uk
I don't get this at all, how many can they possibly expect to turn up? And if you're getting crowds of a couple of hundred then what's the point.
I'd be surprised if they don't get the highest crowd numbers in the division.I don't get this at all, how many can they possibly expect to turn up? And if you're getting crowds of a couple of hundred then what's the point.
There will be an initial bounce (much like us moving back to Cov) but then it will be very much based on whether they are successful or not. But Solihull just a temporary stop as impossible to stay there if they want to return and stay in the top division - capacity, corporate facilities, F&B limitations etcI'd be surprised if they don't get the highest crowd numbers in the division.
(And if they don't, they'll tell you they have).
Seriously, it's a low bar, with Cov and Bedford getting 2000+ and rest mostly not much over 1000.

Just more than the 2k people seem to think. If they can't fill 5500 then they're in trouble again.Why a bounce?
Hope Solihull moors don’t get screwedJust more than the 2k people seem to think. If they can't fill 5500 then they're in trouble again.
There'll certainly be a few newbies that used to go to Sharman's Cross Rd, curious to see what Prem rugby looks like.Why a bounce?
Still the same model that has put so many of these clubs in trouble - rich benefactor/owner. He dies ( god forbid) or gets in financial trouble and it's all over for the rugby club.Championship leaders Ealing Trailfinders (a club whose success is built on money rather than tradition) don't generally even bother putting their attendance figures in their match reports. They say they had a "1,500 strong crowd" for their Christmas Eve match against second-placed Jersey Reds (i think they should be the Jersey Royals, myself!) - which sounds like the nicely-rounded figure a BNP protest organiser might use, when the police have it as 37!
Their game against closest rivals (and proper club) Richmond attracted 849 souls.
They are at home to Cov this Saturday.
Do they play on artificial, is that allowed at that level? If not I'd be very worried about the pitchHope Solihull moors don’t get screwed
