There is only one place available in the Championship (new name pending) next season.
It goes from 12 clubs to 14, and all current clubs intend to take up their places, as do the winners of Nat 1.
The Tier Two board meets soon to choose who of the many *actual* clubs (and the three non-existent ones) that have applied get that spot.
That process includes a fit and proper owner test process - and guess which person involved with Wasps and Wuss has been specifically mentioned as being subject to that already by the Tier Two Board?
It's all on last week's BBC CWR Fans' Forum which is really worth a listen.

This 'site' is Pedham Place Golf Club near Brands Hatch and just outside Swanley in Sevenoaks DC patch. Decent little affordable golf course that is good for beginners and children learning the game. Ive played there a lot in recent years with my teenage son. I know a couple of people at Sevenoaks District Council who say this land has been put forward under local plan site allocations, by owners for housing and potentially a new town but potentially space for The Pests to piggy back and include a stadium on fringes too. Well accessed by M25 A20 but in green belt country on top of a very exposed prominent hill, with big planning and master planning issues. Already massive local objection and likely to be challenged with a Judicial Review. Its more like 5-10 years delivery minimum in my eyes. Cost would be at least £100m for a basic 28K stadium. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Hopefully wont happen but then the egg chasing rugger buggers do have wealth and connections that do like to through money at ridiculous white elephants - so wouldn't put it past them. I keep meaning to contact the residents action group to draw attention to what the W***s did in Coventry and Henley In Arden. W***s must never be allowed to rebreed and infest any community/place ever again!
If you remember/are aware, a wasps director wangled his way onto the Warwickshire College Group board of governors - who then sold their facility to Wasps (which was then transferred a to separate business so it couldn't be touched if shit went south) to use as their training ground - they then sold some of that land for housing!!

Let the locals know that Wasps hierarchy will probably end up appearing in very convenient places and cosying up with local councils....

He don't half spout shit, why do they deserve a route back. What about sustainable run clubs like Cov, these are the type of clubs with the right investment and infrastructure would thrive in the prem. Unfortunately looking at how the money is distributed they have no chance

Facebook decided I wanted to see a post about Wasps today from some rugby paper. The replies were full of rugby fans so there's no way they should be allowed back and should start at the bottom.

Surely the RFU aren't going to give them preference over every other club that's applied. Other clubs that have their own ground for example.

I played rugby with him for Barkers Butts many years ago. Was a bit of an arrogant bell end even back then.

Although I will give him his dues when we were about 14 he had a proper row with a lad a few years older than him, and who went on to do the doors around Cov, on the back of the coach and didn’t take a backward step. Was a good, if slightly brutal, slugfest and he definitely went up in my estimation that day!!

Indeed - and was a member of the Cov Colts side that was broken up in the late nineties due to the club going bust. It was the best Colts set-up in the country at the time, bar none, only missing out on trophies due to many of them being on England duty at unfortunate, inconvenient times.
Many went on to play at Prem level - including the turd Fatty Goode who went to Leicester with Adam Balding and James Grindal.

It is a great sport but the rugger fans and privelleged players are an odd bunch. The RFU are shocking and with tackling rules/ head injury fears, fewer and fewer kids will be allowed to play it. Sport is on the decline unless they get their act together.

It's a great sport (IMHO of course; we're all entitled to our opinions though) which has been utterly shat on by the wankers that 'run' it.

Fair comment.
Not a huge fan but was more a pop at the people who run it and the ridiculous lengths they go to to protect parasites like wasps.

They actually achieve the seemingly impossible by making the football authorities look competent.

The sport has been in terminal decline since professionalism was introduced.
Please don't refer to me as a 'rugger' fan though - it's bad enough being associated with some 'normal' rugby fans.

One of the nicer things about rugby below the Prem is that there are very few so-called privileged players, and most are very down to earth.
Many even follow football, ffs 😉🤣

Couldn't agree more with the last point!

Some of the Cov rugby lads do their recovery at the Village gym, they all seem to be sound if not incredibly well spoken.

Happy to throw the "landlord" bit in though, to make them seem like some kind of successful club fallen on hard times.

In 2014, the club then relocated to the Midlands, quickly becoming ground owners at the Ricoh Arena - and landlords to Coventry City, the club for whom the stadium was built.

A 28000 stadium?? None of the other clubs are close to that and none are selling out every home game.

I understand London Irish and Worcester being given another go, but not a nomad team that surely has a miniscule fan base now after fucking them about for over 10 years?

The owners seem deluded, but if they're happy to spend a load of their own money into the UK economy, then let them I guess. Oh, it probably won't be their own funds.

its mental isn't it. surely start relatively small but build something thats easy to expand in the unlikely event its ever needed

not like it will be used for any other events. too close to London yet not close enough, nobody is putting on concerts or anything there with all the options they have in London

anyway chances are it won't ever get built, who the fuck is going to pay for it?

RFU would be crazy to accept them over other clubs who have applied and have their shit together
