Wasps RU to set up SL fanchise in Coventry

Quote: SmokeyTA "if we are waiting for owners to come along and invest for our benefit rather than theirs we will be waiting for ever.

The game is never going to do anything if we aren't going to accept people getting involved if they benefit from it.

This idea that continuing to ruin league 1 by temporarily putting in clubs wholly unsuitable for it as if this 'proves' something is utter madness. We are destroying the lower leagues as a competition. For the vast majority of clubs league 1 isn't a competition it's a hurdle for a different club to get over. The championship isn't a competition you win it's a competition you try and get out of and it is wildly uncompetitive.

Wasps stadium cannot be supported by league 1 RL. It can't be supported by Championship RL. It benefits nobody to have them playing league 1 of championship RL. So they won't and won't risk doing so. Who would?'"

I may not have worded my post too well but, I firmly believe that Wasps have zero interest in RL and that they are only "looking" at the "potential" to secure revenue from high value fixtures like CC semi final or Magic Weekend, which would be superb "bonus" events for them and quite frankly, if this is their motive, they are not the right "fit" for us.

Going back to the point on league 1 etc, as we are currently, there is no "right" to play in SL as we have a promotion and relegation system in place and really, this issue needs dealing with long before we entertain the advances of clubs like Wasps.
