what a shock a team moved like a franchise that tries to steal the local clubs fanbase and forces the football club out of the city isn't very popular...

they should have stuck it out down south and got in with Brentford before Irish did

Recent posters on this board have rubbished various clubs with not very nice statements, Saracens, Wasps and Bath are the recent recipients of this abuse.
Personally I cannot understand why posters feel this way or post such nasty comments, without these and the other clubs in the premiership we would not have the wonderful competition we have, yes some clubs have not played by the rules and have paid the price for this but they have served their time, let’s not forget there were rumours that two other clubs had manipulated the salary cap apart from Saracens, Bath and Leicester being the other teams and received very strong warnings of their future conduct. People and glass houses etc.

So because we need other clubs to form a league we should accept or at least forgive any cheating (Sarries) or unethical franchise style relocation (Wasps) or indeed anything else that is unlikeable?

Not sure it’s that easy to gloss over these things where there is no remorse shown by the parties in question.

How do you know it was Bath and Leicester when it was never publicised.

The laws of the game had to be amended to stop Wasps and their going scrums uncontested malarkey back in the day, as bad as the Bloodgate as far as cheating was concerned and yes I do bare a grudge............................................ :smt003
