Stourbridge are only Nat 2 for now. Will they avoid the drop?

I wonder if a massive player influx can safe Stour from the drop

Never mind the ones that have suffered a name change, the fans at Stourbridge seem to have lost a club?

Got to feel sorry for the fans. Dreadful to rename the club like that.

More on the above via Times rugby writer... (pasted for speed in wrong-size font )
Breaking: Worcester Warriors is no more.
The Atlas consortium will not play in the Championship, but will take over National 2 side Stourbridge, and rebrand as "Sixways Rugby" from next season.

Exactly, it's still (prima facie) blackmail regardless.

If youurd advised by a professional that they could be sued then you're likely to believe the professional. Was the witness advised of privilige this by DVMS chairman?
If the allegation is true, it puts the professional future of the partner into question, allegedly.

The threat's claim is not even true, if you're giving evidence in a Parliamentary select committee hearing, anything you say is protected by Parliamentary Privilege so you can say what you want with no legal repercussions. Ian Hislop does it often. https://guidetoprocedure.parliament.uk/articles/Mk9xrfWe/privilege-confidentiality-and-foi-for-select-committees

Not sure why the deadline is 14th as Council meets on 13th and is due to make a Press release on 15th confirming the numbers for next season. Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s final!
I don’t see either Wasps or Worcester being able to meet that deadline from what they have said publicly but I suspect a lot is going on behind the scenes that we don’t know about. My money is on Wasps meeting the deadline provided they have somewhere to play and Worcester not meeting it.

Do people think:
1) This deadline is a real one? 2) That both, either or neither Wasps and Worcester will meet it? Worcester appear to have met the criteria but are refusing to follow the additional requirements of the regulations around the RFU having observer status at board meetings and the like. They don't appear to have any leverage to me, the RFU sanction all rugby in England, so unless they are planning on a switch to League they will have to agree to their conditions. Wasps it's all gone quite. Nothing announced, no reaction to the deadline, no rumours since December. Just a confirmation from the RFU that they are yet to meet the obligations needed to return and have at time of writing 10 days to do it.

But as we all know regulations only apply to certain clubs.

Not so much an irony but totally in contravention of the RFU requirements to play at your existing ground to avoid being placed at the bottom of the pyramid

There are discussions taking place around Level 3 (National 1) in 24/25 to avoid mass relegation to Level 4. I don't want to go into detail as these are only discussions at this point.
I found it interesting that although Wasps have talked about maintaining an elite presence at Level 2, the press release from Worcester didn't make the same commitment and suggested they might restart below Elite (Level 2) rugby. The irony of that is that Wasps have no ground but Worcester do!
