[QUOTE="Crash Hamster, post: 1112970, member: 84693"] The Atlas Consortium's point that they're not the same business, the previous business having ceased to be, is entirely valid, however. If they're planning on supporting the rugby by running Sixways as a conference centre or whatever (and it always has felt like an events business with a rugby team attached...) then it's a reasonable point that 'booking a Steps reunion gig in the summer' is nothing to do with the RFU. It sounds like they're prepared to strike a deal with the administrators to form the new events (or whatever) company and let the rugby fall by the wayside (and who can blame them, it's hardly going to be the most profitable potential revenue stream.) Whether this is a serious suggestion or just a negotiating ploy, time will tell. As a Worcester Warriors supporter, I'd be saddened by the loss of the club and all the player development and community work which they have done, but this is a risk when the deal is between Begbies Traynor and the Atlas Consortium, with the RFU not involved in the slightest.
