Well, there were converging details that gave it some credibility. And not just the Companies House link.

Well as I've said all along I'm not getting my hopes up. Nothing is confirmed until I hear it in the eventual press conference.

In the meantime you'll always get speculation.

But where's the fun in that? And how else are we meant to hit 460 pages?!

The interesting thing for me is Thornes constant use of the word "we" during that article. All though the Guardian 'understands' (where have we heard that term before?!) that nobody connected with Wasps is involved, clearly somebody else is teamed up with him, he isn't doing it alone. Just who exactly the other people involved are, who knows.

Yeah, Marc Green probably.

Only been registered....just in case......as per an article in the Guardian where Thorne confirms the reason for registering it. There is also a quote in from King of morals Paul Rowley stating Toronto would jump at the chance to replace Bradford

That would make sense. Everyone complaining we shouldn't be in Championship so replace them with a club with no history/experience etc.

As both threads were now talking about the same thing and because I want the site to crash again, I've merged them.

Fair enough- each to their own.
Personally I'd rather have a viable team to support than reach the magic target of pages .Somebody should create an update for the social network age based on the old saying" today's newspapers are tomorrow's chip wrapping"

It does seem as if your club is a magnet for individuals who are owners/running/involved in rugby union clubs. I don't think followers of rugby league clubs would be impressed if their owners/individuals running clubs showed an interest in other clubs/other sports. Anyway,to help try and take your mind from the stresses and anxieties,here is a Linky Thing And the View From A Disgruntled Fan Of The Union Club From Yesteryear

Someone at the club told me exclusively that they haven't got a clue what's going on.
