Re: Wasps Petition.
Worcester Warriors not impressed.

In response to the recent developments concerning Wasps investing in the Ricoh Arena, Coventry, Worcester Warriors can confirm that the club is seeking clarification on a number of fronts from PRL and the RFU.
Most importantly, these concern how Wasps' fan engagement and community programmes will sit alongside the significant investment we have made in our current academy programmes in the area without conflict.

I don't have as much sympathy with the other clubs that drink the PRL Kool-aid as I do with the long time supporters and the lower level community clubs in the area.IanD wrote:Worcester Warriors not impressed.

It does make the point that a decision like this has consequences - intended or not.
I like your right leg. A lovely leg for the role.
I've got nothing against your right leg.
The trouble is ... neither have you

Losing €3m a season.... The arse is going to fall out of that league sooner rather than later.

Sure two seasons ago and they didn't even have a main sponsor on the front of their jerseys. It was the year we played them in the Amlin 1/4 final.

Would not be suprised to see the Wasps Rugby franchise being sold off in the next few years, as Richardson seems to have used it for a bigger prize.

Probably one of the better views in the area, Newport would be a better venue !footrush wrote:Just picked up a room with pitch view at this place : De Vere Venues At The Ricoh Arena , this new competition is certainly different.

Re: Wasps Petition.
Cry me a river. The members of said clubs sold out to private owners in return for the chance to win a bit of silverware. More recently, those same supporters would happily have seen the Irish (and Welsh and Scottish) provinces wither and die if they thought they could get a few of our players and keep up with the French.John23 wrote:A wasp's eye view of the whole sorry saga:

Perhaps they're finally coming to realise that many of these shysters don't care about the game, the club, the supporters, comradeship or any of that jazz. They care about their money and their egos.
You reap what you sow. It's a bit late to run to the RFU when you told them to shut up, pay up and mind their own business years ago.

I agree with pretty much everything you said. Can't help but think that you've been waiting in the long grass since 2004 to fire that one off.Munsterboy wrote:Cry me a river.

Nothing to do with the forest of misinformation generated, and endlessly re-cycled by their press about our unfair advantages, hosting the ERC, the ERC blah blah blah?Munsterboy wrote:Cry me a river.

Re: Wasps Petition.
I must be stupid but how is this going to make money for Richardson? He will get 3-5000 fans into the stadium for around 15 matches a year? How will that cover the mortgage?
