we are crucially aware that our global fanbase are eager for news
That statement basically just admits that they have no money, no stadium, no real plan & a general feeling of apathy from the whole of the Rugby world...
They're going to turn up in Worcester aren't they and expect the Worcester fans to welcome them with open arms as they somehow get dropped straight into the Championship
Was just editing my post to add that this will all be reliant on someone else paying for it, the Wasps way. Do even the biggest Wasps fans really give a shit anymore if a new team using the name turn up somewhere they have zero history.That statement basically just admits that they have no money, no stadium, no real plan & a general feeling of apathy from the whole of the Rugby world...
At what point do they just accept they're dead?
Isn't Chris Holland part who now owns Worcester's ground.... Grendel will know.Was just editing my post to add that this will all be reliant on someone else paying for it, the Wasps way.

Using Worcester as an example they'd get a handful, literally a handful, of the London / Wycombe / Coventry fans turning up and a handful of Worcester fans who aren't completely pissed off that they've jumped in and taken their place. How is that going to be sustainable?
And those that do turn up will still think they are a big deal, even that statement of nothing talks about their world wide fanbase. They aren't going to accept many seasons below Premiership level. Seems doomed before it even starts.

Fairly sure there is enough of a link that means that Wasps rocking up at Worcester is not as daft as you think!!.... (Typical wasps style!!)
Does this place still need a dedicated Wasps forum?
It's a historical record to warn any other club who might be considering franchisingDoes this place still need a dedicated Wasps forum?
If people like talking about it then yesDoes this place still need a dedicated Wasps forum?
But we have persevered, and our steadfast intention remains to return to Rugby at the highest level possible, ideally for the 24/25 season, or if prudent and necessary, the 25/26 season.
As before, our return is reliant on our ability to secure a team, sponsorship and management

What planet do they live on? They went into administration with debts of £95m, they haven't even got a team playing at any level yet they think they can build a new stadium in an area with no fanbase & everything will be OK. Rugby is struggling with clubs still in financial trouble yet Chris Holland is going to buck this trend, what a delusional idiot?
A Sevenoaks District Council spokesman said Wasps were considering building a multi-use stadium, training facilities and a hotel on the outskirts of Swanley.
The spokesman said members of the public would be able to have their say on the proposals when the council began its latest consultation on its local plan next month.
"As a former top-tier club, with an international profile, we firmly believe this is a once-in-a- generation opportunity," the spokesman added.
"Wasps would bring unparalleled economic, sports development, health, education, and skills benefits to the district and we are keen to explore how that could be achieved."
Someone needs to speak to this council spokeman and get him to take a look on here. He'll soon change his mind.

Oi!!! I'm in Kent and I don't want those barstewards down here.
Weirdly enough, my missus kids' father lives in Worcester, so they travel from Kent to Worcester to see him....whilst also agreeing an option of using Worcester's ground.
I mean, Kent and Worcester, nice close bedfellows for fans wanting to watch. Good job they don't have any of them!
At least we'll have @Otis to lead the protests
tbf(!) in this instance, I suppose if they redevelop some land and build a ground, even if they go pop there's something there that wasn't there before?How do they do it!??
What exactly do they slip into the water/coffee in these meetings they have with local councils!?
