Reckon both European finals could be very sply attended this year.

Never doubt the Irish when it comes to band wagon jumping, Ulster already expecting 35,000 home fans for their semi final in Dublin.

Should it happen that say, Edinburgh and Clermont play in the final I can't see Twickenham being full.

All French last 4 in The Challenge Cup too so can't see the Stoop being more than half full unless people make a weekend of it with both games.

Never fun to see a club in trouble no matter what sport but aren't most Premiership rugby clubs losing a lot of money? Surely raising salary caps higher and paying marque players more on top of that will only add more financial strain.

Just seen this on Running Rugby,

"The new investor is likely to have to find close to £8 million to keep them afloat."

Now that does NOT sound good.

gulp......

that's a lotta dosh Cata !

what kind of idiot would invest that kind of money in a minor (ish) sport ?

It sounds great! Down with RU.

I can only see two ways out;
1- Someone minted comes in ala SAracens or Bath.
2- The RFU come to the rescue.

Are Wasps still part of Loftus Road plc and listed on AIM, or did someone buy the rugby side off Chris Wright?

more likely to be a consortium I would think ?

probably with some hair brained business scheme etc etc etc

The City is full of them - being high profile London based will be a distinct advantage

it would be sad to see a major sporting istitution like Wasps fold just like if Portsmouth FC finally went down the pan....

So not a pan to wee in but sign Stephen Jones and 3 others for next season.

a mere stripling compared to Sir Steve Menzies but it does sound a bit desperate !

really depressed now....

Have they moved from Wycombe?



Pompey and Wasps major sporting institutions! You're on top form Peter.
