We Need To Talk About Wasps

[TRF_Olyy]

Makes sense, if Wasps are in it then it's less likely to be knocked down and turned into a drive-thru starbucks or whatever

Kenny Logan was also on BBC Hereford and Worcester. Worth a listen, spoke about the complications we face. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0gnjxj2

Spoke about aiming for this year but back up of 25-26 season, about using Wuss facilities to keep them going/fantastic facilities and that no aim to take Wuss location long term as want them back in long term.

Says Sevenoaks wants Wasps in area but currently biggest challenge is where we slot in and the aim for "Prem 2" potentially.

Really like that the Worcester RFC board have endorsed and it sounds like we want to do it in the right way with the aim to build Wuss out.

or in the case of Wimbledon a housing estate with blokes named after former players...like that was the same as a ground to play at

ground is everything, its the physical manifestation of a clubs connect to a local fan base

Apparently a prem club didn't pay their players on time last month.

I'd expect it's Falcons tbh

Falcons cant go under, guess its them, that means only Sale outside the South. How do you regrow a failing sport if half the damn country isnt represented in it!

If they went down and Ealing come up thats 3 london clubs and 1 outside the south. 2 isnt even enough. But its what we have.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

I don't think the premiership could face loosing another club. Really hope that's just a rumour although that's how they all started.

Supposedly Exeter, but due to admin error rather than lack of cash

Not sure how that happens, though - surely it's all just automatic?

Often wage payment is the Thursday, but should have been Wednesday theb1st maybe?

No someone from payroll normally has to press a button even in this day and age.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

I mean I worked for a massive public sector body and they messed up (didn't pay) half the peoples pay one month, probably around 20k worth of staff.

So it can happen.

Wild, I genuinely thought it would just all be handled by some sort of payroll system

It depends on how complex your pay structure is. If there are loads of different contracted rates/bonuses/overtime etc then there will always need someone manually inputting stuff, someone then reviewing it and agreeing it then someone clicking OK

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Match report including some commentary on Chiefs financial position. The payroll thing just looks ike an admin error but some wider challenges - about to post a significant loss with ticket sales down.

Slade’s last-gasp kick edges Exeter past Gloucester amid financial uncertainty

Henry Slade’s late kick edged Exeter to a 25-24 victory over Gloucester in the Premiership after they recovered from trailing by nine points in the second half

im sure some companies do just that...but they are also the ones that you hear didn't pay because the internet was down or a gitch paid twice/half and they have to fix it

i think a lot if automated but under supervision

Our Journey Update

Wasps continues its substantial efforts to return the men's and women's teams to the highest level possible of performance rugby. In October 2023 we outlined the 3 pillars that define our intent and our direction of travel.

Looks like Core Sustainable Finance and Stadium are done, just in discussions with the leagues. Waiting for Pledge button to work but fingers crossed it starts working. I know we may not deserve it but for all the fans i hope we come back at some competitive level.

It's up and running now

 

[Crash Hamster]

Pro15 rugby comes to Sixways?

Fun to speculate, isn't it?

Also, it's kind of hard to ask people to support them without knowing where they're playing and in which league they're competing. "Worcester Wasps in the Championship? Yes. Reading Wasps in the Pro D2? Unlikely."

 

[Which Tyler]

Reading Wasps in the Pro D2? Unlikely."

Especially as - as with every time this sort of thing is suggested (though usually LWelsh, LIrish or LScottish) - it would need the RFU's agreement, which would never be forthcoming.

 

[Kiwiwomble]

was really hoping they would do a deal to play at Plough Lane and i could try and dovetail a football game and a rugby game into my next trip
