Charlton forum seems positive to a Wasps tie in. Bizarre with the history, easy to research obviously in our case and further back with Wycombe, they are trouble full stop.

Everywhere they've been they've caused issues. Look at QPR, Wycombe and us. Even places they didn't actually play, not sure many Worcester fans will have a good work to say and the report says 85% of the population in Sevenoaks, one of their latest targets, don't want them there.

The fact Charton don't own their ground anymore should be setting off major alarms. There's a pattern to places they target to go.

Someone needs to get on their forum are raise the red flag.

Charlton keep going through the shit but manage to organise well so if they realised what could happen they might be able to kick up enough of a fuss.

Despite being in pain due to my dodgy knee playing up, but I completely reassure people when I say this has no bearing on what I am about to say. Wasps Rugby Club are literally the worst club in the history of world sport.

I would prefer to dine with Hitler himself for eternity than see Wasps Rugby Club play its home games in my city again. I hope they crumble, I wish them nothing but bad luck for them as a club and their fans, the parasitic cunts!

I wouldn't get too concerned, it's as pie in the sky as all of the other ideas. They had their greatest opportunity in Coventry and couldn't make it work.

It’s all good. Shugs says that people not wanting Wasps to return are cutting their noses off to spite their face as the whole of professional rugby is dying - and a wasps return with all the interest that will create - could save the professional game

They'd probably have more to worry about than a knackered pitch.

Absolutely, can’t believe anyone would touch those charlatans with a barge pole, not to mention the fact that the scumbags are expecting to jump straight back in at Championship level , cheats really can prosper.

The new Tier Two board might well have something to say about that- assuming they have any balls whatsoever (and I'm quite sure Nick Johnson has).

Well, yes. No doubt about that - which is where the Tier Two board comes in - or should.

Don't Wasps still exist - in the sense of their original amateur team? I which case, I don't understand why they need to make a return as Wasps RFC in the professional game. The supporters have a club to support, and anyone who wants to invest can put their money there. If they can grow the club then surely they could then build up whatever ground they play at now.

I suspect the amateur club, having some regard for their current supporters and locality, wants nothing to do with the chancers who took the "professional" team on this crazy, disastrous, journey in search of glory (and most likely, substantial personal profit).

There are, however, wider issues at play. A lack of mass‑market visibility outside the Six Nations Championship and the World Cup is clearly not helping the game’s wider profile. Recent research suggests the typical profile of a Test attendee at Twickenham – sorry, Allianz Stadium – is a 55-year-old white male who works in financial services. No wonder the game’s bosses are twitchy about the future.

It's popular enough to be successful I it's own right. Unfortunately it got ideas above its station and thought it could compete with football, or even French rugby.
As a result its fucked itself, or should I say, hilariously, it's fucked itself.

He has a sight more right to than that turd Dallaglio. At least he had the sense to walk away from Wasps instead of pretending it was going to pull through, prolonging the agony and piling up further debt/screwing suppliers.

Agreed.
Rugby Union should see itself as the winter version of cricket.

Both interesting sports, well supported and with an enthusiastic player and supporter base.

Cricket, for all the faults of the ECB, never thought it could take on the behemoth that is football.

Rugby, sadly did.

Wasps, Worcester & London Irish returns would be 'great for rugby'

The boss of Premiership Rugby says he welcomes the prospective return to professional rugby of Wasps, Worcester and London Irish.
www.bbc.co.uk

This is incredible - likely going to be allowed back into the 2nd tier next season...once they've fully paid off existing rugby creditors.

How much do Wasps owe non-rugby creditors - local Coventry businesses etc? Wasn't the local ambulance service owed some money by them? What about paying those off as well?

It's a f*&king joke.

Oh and the only think that would be great about a return would the opportunity to celebrate every loss the parasites get.

On a positive note, seen cov rugby are on about their stadium expansion. Hopefully if wasps do crawl out of their hole, they get stuck in premiership two while cov keep pushing.
