Just heard Kenny Logan on the radio, one of the ‘Steering Group’ trying to reestablish Wasps as a rugby club. Now they are working with Sevenoaks council to try and build a multi functional stadium down there which he described as ‘vital’. Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t that exactly what they had in Coventry? A big stadium with loads of other uses including big exhibition and concert halls.

Hmm. For geographical reasons I was a Wasps supporter, from the Sudbury amateur days. But never a real fanatic, actually went to the Stoop more often (though not very often). But I do know from their little visit to the Midlands that they are bad neighbours - arrogant, domineering and thoughtless. They ****ed up other proper community rugby clubs by picking up and then dumping young players, they overpaid their own players who frequently behaved like ****s when out on the town, and they really ****ed over Coventry City FC , a club very capable of ****ing itself up without help, over the use of the stadium. I don’t think they will be missed in this part of the world, which is one of the heartlands of proper community rugby union.

Be careful what you wish for Sevenoaks.

They did a job on us, I remember Dallaglio and others being signed on 6 figure contracts (unheard of in those days) while we were going into a downward spiral.

Other ambitious clubs don't get a look-in these days, pro rugby has f*cked itself...
