not to mention when any of our fans pointed out the numbers didn't stack up they were called clueless idiots.

I cant forgive their fans lapping up the misery’s inflicted on our club, where friends have fallen out over the politics, that fans passed away without seeing their club back in its rightful place, the gloating and piss taking such as sticking wasps flags in jimmys statue, their view that we are scum under the boots of their awesomeness, the fucking up of our season start…not everything is solely their fault but they have played a massive part…now it’s hopefully their turn and I hope it fucking hurts

I had no axe to grind with Wasps until the Birmingham move and then wonderEd how much was down to the intransigence of our owners. Wasps are a massive brand in the Rugby world and their fall has been horrific but predictable and yet...it could have all been so different for both parties. They both took each other down a cul de sac and both paid a heavy price and it looks like Wasps will not survive in this present form.
I don’t think for one moment that we should gloat at Wasps demise nor do I believe our immediate future is secure with what has happened, in fact we could be collateral damage.

I really don't know if the ground being Heineken free is going to be looked on as a negative or not.
I wouldn't usually link anything to do with the mail, but in this case, I will make an exception.

EXCLUSIVE: Heineken axed beer from Wasps stadium amid financial woes
EXCLUSIVE BY MATT HUGHES: Sportsmail has learned that several of Wasps' suppliers have been told they are unlikely to be paid this month as the club face being put into administration.

i genuinely believe the Sheffield Utd game could be in jeopardy. If wasps go into admin next week and staff haven’t been paid. They won’t be turning up for work etc…

It's when Pimm's drop out that the shit really hits the fan.

Isn’t Heineken a sponsor of the CBS so that’s pretty embarrassing that a sponsor has removed product

I’d expect it to be a wholesaler/supplier so would expect them to pull any other products they supply the CBS.
But doesn’t look good for Heineken.
I guess that’s how someone got confused as said Carling. Heard it was beer being removed and just said a brand

Yeah there will be some, there will be others who are employed by the caterers etc.
I think if the caterers pull out, the game will still go on. It will be ground staff / stewards (I think CCFC pay a lot of them?) and then the safety staff etc.

Who manages the stewards, we could agree to pay them directly although that would be more money we'd never see back from Wasps. Catering is outsourced isn't it so not paid directly by Wasps / ACL and in any case a game can go ahead without the bar being open.
Which staff are actually vital to stage a game and paid by a company in the Wasps group? The bigger issue with be if the ground is locked up and we're in the gap before an administrator takes over and keeps things running.

On top of the idea that they don’t want Ashley as they’ll “just be along for the ride” pretty sure they told us we should be grateful and being a secondary tenant won’t affect them too much
Nick

Exactly.
Sounds like someone needs an excuse for why they were at the Empire on Saturday night.

Billy big booted it when they moved.
Other clubs fans thought they had betrayed their fan base anyway. Same thing happened to mk Dons at the start.

At least it’s all Saracen’s fault now and not ours/SISUs
Nick

The thing is, they just want everybody to tell them "It's fine". They think the Cov Telegraph are making them hard done by. I couldn't think of a softer ride.
You are right though, why the fuck would CCFC support them? The club has already paid for the fucking pitch.
Nick
Administrator
Yeah I saw that, it's only happening because they voted for Saracens to be relegated.

For the football club, yep, the stadium is most important whichever way it goes!
Wasps Rugby, they can fuck right off, I have zero sympathy for them or their gloating fans.
CRFU if nothing else is enough justification for them not being here, cheating their fans and investors, shitting on the City, the sooner they are gone the better.

"It's everyone else's fault but ours" they need to have a word with the people of Henley as to what wasps means to them (and tbf the people of Coventry who were displaced for this sham)

They have just had their heads in the sand for so long now the sand has blown away they haven't got a fucking clue what they're looking at.

Again, this comes down to local media coverage and what they have been conditioned to think. For the last couple of years Bobby Bridge has just copied and pasted what he's told and said "He doesn't cover the business side" but reeled out the "everything is fine" statements whenever asked. He hasn't investigated anything to see how fucked Wasps truly were.
A lot of them thought nobody in Henley was bothered and it was all SISU. They assumed that offering a few free tickets was a nice gesture.
They genuinely seem to be deluded and miles away from the actual reality.

Couldn't agree more, I actually do feel sorry for the original wasps fans who saw their club ripped away from them but hopefully now this will means it will be returned to them
Also really looking forward to the game at the butts next season

Wasps don't employ them directly though do they? it's via IEC experience and they are not under notice of administration

Yeah, it's only going to be the actual Wasps / ACL staff which I assume will employ safety people that are probably needed for the game to be on.
Although if they do go into Admin, you would think the administrator would push for events to still be on so money comes in.
