Weirdly enough, my missus kids' father lives in Worcester, so they travel from Kent to Worcester to see him.

Hmm....he likes rugby too. Maybe I missed the obvious all this time.

The issue being that if they go pop again, they're likely to take some local businesses and possibly another local council for another few million quid too.

If the RFU had any bollocks they'd say that...

a) It's back to London-ish permanently or nowhere. No option to play in Worcester/Coventry/Planet Zog in the interim.

b) Until the outstanding debts to public bodies are cleared, no one involved in the last clusterfuck is allowed to take an executive, board, or ownership position at the club.

c) (Optional, but preferred) Fuck off, everyone is bored of your bullshit now.

the club has also agreed an option of utilising Worcester Warriors’ Sixways ground for both training and playing purposes, without in anyway replacing Worcester Warriors RFC and indeed committed to assisting their return to competitive rugby.

Fucking hell

This just seems completely bat shit crazy. Move to Worcester for a few years where they will not exactly be welcomed with open arms, and presumably run at huge losses as you'd imagine not many fans from the London / Wycombe / Coventry days will bother.

Then somehow persuade someone to pay for a new stadium in and area they've no history and doesn't exactly have a huge population or transport links, how have they managed to find somewhere with neither people or transport links in that part of the world! Their fans have repeatedly said a return to the south east was impossible as the area was over-saturated and the cost of a stadium would be horrific.

No doubt the likes are Shugs have done a complete 180 and now think it's a brilliant idea.

Sevenoaks has one of the most restrictive planning commitees in UK. They hate change and development.
Know a few people who work in Planning Team there....will have to put a word in to stop it in its tracks.

We are such a wonderfully, intellectually diverse bunch here on SBT aren't we.

We are all financial advisors, military strategists, religious experts, political historians, barristers, scholars of all history, soothsayers, world class referees, top managers and know every town planner in every single town or borough across the breadth of Britain.

It's like Wasps don't have a coherent plan of how to move forward.

Yeah sure, but you know somewhere down the line we'll hear... "Sevenoaks District Council have agreed to supply Wasps with a taxpayer funded loan to help develop facilities and infrastructure in the local area. A local spokesperson said this is a once in a lifetime opportunity, and they're definitely going to pay us back. The plans are thought to include a holiday home and jacuzzi for the owner, local suppliers will be carrying out works for the rugby club on credit. Wasps are close to returning to the English rugby pyramid, although they have no players or place in the league they recently stated that an exciting new kit design would be released soon".

In fairness, it's not like the individuals involved with Wasps have a problem paying their bills. Oh.

In the article they refer to the brothel as a whorehouse which made me chuckle.
