I have only just read up that Charlton Athletic do not own The Valley, they rent it off their former owner (The Belgian one they did the pig protest against) - Wonder if the pests will be up to their old tricks again

No disrespect to Charlton, but if the cunts won't die then the next best thing is them being someone else's problem.

yep the alarm bells should be sounding for Charlton. what happen to Wasps state of the art new stadium in Sevenoaks? Oh wait, no fucker wants them there.
In an attempt to reform, Wasps bid to build a 28,000-seat stadium on a greenbelt site near Sevenoaks, Kent.
However, this has triggered strong local opposition, with a survey showing 85 per cent of people were opposed to the plans.

"Garden of England's talent pool and hotbed of rugby"
Living in Kent there is a decent- modest interst in football much less so rugby. These Tory loving broadsheet really pushing through rugby and Wasps propaganda. Sevenoaks sniffed out the bullshit so hope Charlton do. I know a few CAFC fans and feel a duty to warn and help them as they will 100% try and go for the Valley stadium ownership. Wasps are nearly completely dead and if we can help finish them and wipe them off the face of the earth then our work will be done. Wonder if the Wasps fans forums are still going?

See something I saw not too long ago was Barnet wanting to build a new ground.

While the Hive would need work, it’s a stadium in north London which will need a tenant soon (maybe wasps could give money to Barnet to help them develop a stadium and even buy this one would be cheaper).

This is what massively annoys me outside of what happened with us. It’s all smoke and windows we these lot. They don’t want to preserve any history, they don’t care about where they came from, there just the MK dons of Rugby looking at new areas to set up shop without any care for the local area or even their own fans.

The real piss take, is how they just expect to rock up straight into the Championship because... well they're called Wasps innit.

Charlton should be very, very wary. I don't think it's a done deal with the RFU yet; the other championship rugby clubs, and those hoping for promotion to it, might well have something to say about this.

I think the hive is very close to the amateur Wasps club so a non starter

No but surely expansion room there.
Also would of thought it would be a plus to be close to the amateur home of the clubs

What they should do is…issue a bond scheme that their loyal fans can buy into to show their commitment to Wasps and their values. Then find some gullible (being kind) local council officials

Probably the total development cost does not make it viable- especially starting from scratch and no real fan base left.

The Charlton thing sounds a lot like the same blag they pulled on us. No doubt they're already talking to any mug who will listen about the millions they'll bring into the local economy.

As above, next up will be some kind of mysterious investment scheme so that they can become the biggest club in Europe etc. etc., and of course, they'll need a ground of their own, to maximise income.

Dreamers and chancers, basically.

I get that but they get four years to get it up to standard now apparently plus if they have any hope of a fan base surely it’s where the club is from and not Kent?

Charlton not owning The Valley is a massive concern with that lot turning up. They'll do whatever it takes to get their hands on it.

The thing I really object to is that the rugby authorities are rolling the pitch for Wasps to be admitted to the Championship.

The Premiership seems to want to achieve this by taking control of the Championship, making it the Premiership division 2, and running it on a franchise model so that they can control who plays in it.

This is totally wrong. Wasps went bust and as a rugby club it ceased to exist. The fact that the current owners of the new Wasps bought the right to the name doesn’t disguise the fact that it is a completely new club having nothing in common with the old one other than the name.

I don’t have a problem with anyone forming a new rugby club but it should, as the rugby authorities said at the time, start at the bottom of the pyramid. If in time they can work their way back to the top, by success on the playing field, then good luck to them. But it should be achieved by that means, not by being parachuted back into the Championship just because someone bought the naming rights.

It's funny as when they rode into town with their scheme, a bloke I knew kept on saying how great it was and how they'd be here for decades and be entrenched in the Coventry area and CCFC would struggle because of the inevitable success of Wasps.

At the time, I laughed at him and said how much of shit-show it was.

I think back to those conversations and his insistence of how great this was going to be for Wasps and the City of Coventry, with a massive f*&king smile.

Got riddance to them. Their implosion is one of my favourite every sporting memories. I feel sorry for the original fans but the rest....ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Suckers.

Playing championship rugby with no promotion in a 27000 seat stadium. They'll be lucky to get 2000 fans. Shugs will probably say it will sell out every week though

Promotion is back for the 2024/25 season, via a home and away play-off between the bottom team in the Premiership and the top team in the Championship.

The drivers for this are the intended takeover of the Championship by the Premiership (it would be odd not to have promotion and relegation between divisions 1 and 2 of the Premiership) and pressure from new Wasps who obviously want a path to the top flight.

The whole thing stinks.
