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?

It's very USA franchise isn't it

Other than MK Dons it will never happen in football

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

Or just couldn't get access to inside to take them.

Inside the main players entrance the walls are covered with huge Wasps pictures. When we were there 3 weeks ago they were covered up with City flags. We were told there was an imminent refurb of the area which I'm assuming includes the removal of the Wasps stuff.

We were also told the huge Wasps logo on the floor in the tunnel was going to be removed shortly. It's already flaking and I took great pleasure in removing a bit more of it myself.

Sorry if I've missed read, were you given any insight to when the signs in stands and awful seat arrangement might go?

If they don't produce the goods by Valentine's Day they won't even be able to play in the championship. Fingers crossed

Played against Stourbridge many times. Good club,and people who are proud of Stourbridge name.
Think there must have been a lot of opposition, wonder how they got it through?

not the best start, on their website the only article, from back in December, states "Wasps are delighted to announce their return for the 2023/24 season, with confirmation they have now fully satisfied Rugby Football Union (RFU) requirements". Day one and the bullshit has started again as they clearly haven't.

English rugby really is going to the dogs. Should be some real soul searching going on at the RFU.

Anything to do with Sixways will be about property ownership and development. There are acres of land associated with Warriors and in a great position for industry/housing. This will be the ultimate prize.

Why on earth when they were totally skint did they spend money on a shit rebrand and then not even bother to jet wash the outline of the old logo off the wall.

Hope Frasers give the place a good clean. I know there's millions in maintenance that needs doing but you could relatively cheaply and quickly make the place look a lot better with a decent clean and coat of paint

Did they mention at all whether this will be replaced with CCFC branding?

It’s something that’s always bothered me a bit with the CBS, it’s always felt it could be dressed up a lot more with our branding to make it known that a football club called Coventry City play there. We had to deal with the pest’s shite overshadowing us but we’ve got a great opportunity now to finally out that right as long as Fraser’s agree to it!

Agree, are those Wasp badges still on the seats where the manager & subs sit still there ? If they are at the very least they need something over them tv cameras pick them up all the time.
If they are perhaps they could raffle the seats off to the thousands of mourning Wasps fans. Bit of pocket money for big Mike.
