If there are any councillors lurking, let me introduce you to a Japanese concept called hari kari.......

They were told years ago and they didn't want to believe.

They were never ever going to be able to sort out the bonds.

It's been on the horizon for years.

I thought they may have refinanced on even more punitive terms but luckily they weren't able to kick the can.

That debt was never going to work.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

A claim on Drunken Wasps that someone - I assume Richard Overson - paid for the pitch repairs

Would make sense

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

Haha

I don't swear much unless I'm really angry, but I'm extremely happy with their demise. They can fuck off.

 

[Kneeza]

We could never be so lucky.
I have the distinct impression, as a near-lifetime follower of both CCFC and CRFC, that this whole sorry saga has some distance in its legs yet.
I'd be very happy to be proven wrong; today, preferably, but I'm not counting any chooks yet.

Well, whaddya know?
Willing to bet this thread still has legs though.
(Oh, and it's 'Hara-kiri' Clint. Just so they know what to Google ).

It was like a new toy at Xmas but the initial excitement has worn off and hopefully is heading towards the bin quickly

Almost 4 years to the day, it got to the bin but was just transported by an ent

Little did I know at the time that this thread would run for four bloody years. I’d of wished it hadn’t as it would of meant the bastards would of gone earlier.

The reason why they failed was simply the Coventry public already had two sporting clubs that bore this city’s great name and represents the people of Coventry.

How dare they rock up with a ‘we’re here now….roll up, roll up’ attitude.

The Coventry public won. Well done everyone (inc Grendel).

we all knew it would end in tears (for them) it was just a matter of time!

The most beautiful thing about it all for me is that nobody outside 50-100 twitter based fans are actually bothered that they’ve gone pop.

When Worcester were going under there was weeks of coverage from outside sixways, groups of fans protesting, volunteering time to get games on etc

Their fans are just as complicit as their incompetent owners in letting their club die, shown zero fight at all on top of delusional lapping up of dribble from owners/board over years.

League 2 Bury going under got 10x more media coverage than this pathetic excuse for a sports team

When's D Day V2? I thought we would hear about their relegation once another game was cancelled at the weekend.

Always amazes me how these people completely fuck up and just walk into another executive level role

Unbelievable this man can find work from his position of head in the sand

Sad for Yorkshire.

No, not really. Can't stand 'em. Take 'em down Vaughan.

 

[chiefdave]

Not really news to anyone but now official. Wasps netball done. Bet the side that got kicked out of the SuperLeague to make way for Wasps aren't too happy that they lost their own team for nothing.

It is a shame. I saw the enthusiasm for the game during the Commonwealth Games. They were pawns in Wasps efforts to establish themselves as a sports club. It seems that there is no appetite for this with any new owner. I think the CCFC is the only show in town. SISU may already have sold to Ashley, contingent on him acquiring the stadium and all assets.

Wasps Netball has passed away. RIP u will live on forever. Cant believe it. I wanna run to u. Really cant believe this. @

ONCE A WASP, ALWAYS A WASP.

(Well, a Wasp for a couple of years and will support somebody else next week)

Someone's not happy.

He probably hailed him as The Saviour not so long ago - as most of them did.

 

[chiefdave]

Someone's not happy.

has the penny finally dropped

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

But I thought it was all SISU and Saracens that caused this?

 

[Kneeza]

Wasps' new stadium. The pitch is already wrecked so they don't even have to do that.

 

[Robinshio]

I work with a wasps fan and first time seen him since they folded. He still fully believes they would have been fine had it not been for covid. Can’t believe how deluded a supposed intelligent person can be

 

[wingy]

Think it's been confirmed they will lose the P share on ITV just now .
They reckon won't survive without it .
