[QUOTE="will311293, post: 1103439, member: 73664"] I can't believe we are in this predicament... the fact that I'm having to consider that a club i've been a fan of since 5 is on the verge of disappearing as i know it is really hard to take. The fact I'm having to consider how/who i support in the Prem is really hard to take (obviously i will keep supporting Wasps but you want to have some in prem rugby to cheer on right?). In all seriousness, unless we solve it before Saturday, that's our last game IMHO. The board are split which isn't buoying potential investors either. At this point, i feel i'd accept relegation and losing our stars to prevent liquidation and following Richmond, London Welsh etc. If someone buys the stadium and the support facilities, that would handle the £35m bond and hopefully we can solve the HMRC debt somehow. By all accounts, we had a payment plan, it got scrapped and that is us toast. But surely this is not just a issue effecting Wasps and Wuss, surely the likes of Falcons, Sale and Irish will be next if not careful? (assuming this based on attendance/commercial income vs rising costs). Something has to be done as if we lose 2 clubs in the space of a few weeks, i'd be shocked if another doesn't struggle before end of year. [/QUOTE]
