It's just that on another thread on here you said there was never a written agreement for a new pitch yet on there you said Wasps agreed on a new pitch??

no they promised one - it’s pretty much only you that seems to think this was in a contract. It’s just a promise which was said and not in writing

In theory the club could be back in the premier league it 2 years

the business allowed nearly £70m of external debt to build up and many small businesses will be hugely impacted and some may not fully recover

it’s just not acceptable

It's a disgrace. Huge chunk taxpayers money. Absolute joke that RFU can make them pay rugby creditors but no-one can make them repay the taxpayer.
Get back in premiership and rugby people will be hailing it as a success

I mean I've not said that, but ok. Feel free to prove me wrong with the Spreadie.

If they have hopes of playing football league then they wouldn't be allowed it.

My old boss Cecil Duckworth will be turning in his grave. He spent millions building Sixways and funding Worcester Rugby.

I fully expect thousands upon thousands of the Coventry public like the few wasps fans on Twitter claim to be now be passionately following them will be getting over to Worcester?

I mean, they say that the Coventry public embraced there arrival and were the main player in the city that adopted them with delight. Such a shame covid arrived.

Fuck right off!!!

Been just as critical about football on this subject. The rugby (and football) authorities allow this financial mismanagement whilst protecting the interests in the own little fiefdoms.
Also blame govts for allowing them to get away with it.

Has this been confirmed?

Last I read was they have until next week to meet requirements to even play next season.

Yes - worrying that the local coach firms won't be able to meet the demand for the mass exodus from Coventry and Warwickshire each match day

I'd like to think so and very swiftly. Why are there still a couple of them in place on the corporate side?

Weren't the outside signs taken by the company owed money for them? Maybe they'd paid for the inside ones.

No surprise as it looks like Worcester won't be rejoining the league and not sure if Stourbridge will pull enough punters to make Sixfields profitable.

Perhaps Wasps will rebrand as Stylops the fkin parasites.

Get a couple of guys down there in hi-vis with a ladder and I reckon you could blag you’re there to remove them and get let in. Anyone with access want to give it a go?

There's definitely a lot that have tried to slip back into the shadows and distance themselves from ever having got into bed with Wasps.

Rugby never ceases to amaze me. The Worcester Warriors name is disappearing but they are hijacking the Stourbridge club and “rebranding” them as Sixways Rugby to groundshare with Wasps at Worcester! Wasps may just be a concept that can go anywhere, but surely Stourbridge must be a local rugby club for that town. Are the people at that club happy to be rebranded and moved?

I don't really get what the plan is for any of the clubs involved. Get the feeling whoever bought Worcester might be stiching everyone else involved up

From what I can make out Worcesters new owners can't, or potentially won't, meet the RFUs terms for Worcester to continue in the Championship. Stourbridge is a relatively nearby club seemingly in trouble who they can 'merge' with and use their place in the league. The idea presumably being to fast track back to the Championship

Not really sure why they would lose the Worcester name and why they would want Wasps there if they plan to get back to the higher levels quickly
