[QUOTE="Reiser99, post: 1098508, member: 72977"] Also depends on what you mean by globally recognised. Is that globally recognised by people who only casually follow sport. I'd argue no rugby club is that recognised, not like for example Barcelona or Utd etc... which even if you don't follow sport you've probably heard of. Globally recognised by the rugby community? Fans in the SH have heard of who? Dunno honestly, but I doubt it's many clubs as Olyy suggested. How about at European level, in rugby terms, I'm sure plenty more fans could name wasps over worcester. How about casual european fans? Certainly saracens. Then domestically, how many casual fans or general sports fans could name premiership clubs. I'd say Wasps have an advantage over worcester here. Personally I think global market is a bit pointless when the game struggles with popularity domestically. Rugby needs to focus on building larger more secure fan bases locally and it's something they've kind of taken for granted. Covid exposed the fact that the clubs are not financially secure and that without fans they are screwed. [/QUOTE]
