Re: Worcester’s woes
As others have said Diamond has acquitted himself brilliantly but that tweet does seem rather final.
With them having won yesterday will be interesting to see what happens to their results. Surely they only declare the previous games null and void

Had a look at Diamond's twitter - yep that seems to be 'over and out'.Rugbygramps wrote: ↑Sun Sep 25, 2022 8:55 am As others have said Diamond has acquitted himself brilliantly but that tweet does seem rather final.

Re: Worcester’s woes
He has just confirmed on BT that they are expecting a week or 2 off.
Not sure how it all works for the games they don’t play, points allocated etc.
Are they automatically relegated

Re: Worcester’s woes
Well based on last season vs Glaws for conceded games then oppositions will get 5 points for the games missed.Rugbygramps wrote: ↑Sun Sep 25, 2022 3:18 pm He has just confirmed on BT that they are expecting a week or 2 off.

Relegation comes from administration, which this is not. This is just a suspension from the league till they get their house in order (which administration may well help)
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Re: Worcester’s woes
Wasn’t the game last season in the PRC though. Surely in a full league season clubs just can’t be handed 5 points. What happens if at the end of the season that is the difference between play off or European qualification or not.TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Sun Sep 25, 2022 4:20 pmWell based on last season vs Glaws for conceded games then oppositions will get 5 points for the games missed.Rugbygramps wrote: ↑Sun Sep 25, 2022 3:18 pm He has just confirmed on BT that they are expecting a week or 2 off.

Re: Worcester’s woes
Clarification please.
I see reference to expulsion to the league one minute and suspension, which suggests a return later the next. Which is it?

Re: Worcester’s woes
No the game they conceded was a league game... the controversy was they had a PRC game 3 days later that they played. That game they played saw them into the knockouts of the PRC so with no relegation they prioritised the cup over the league.Rugbygramps wrote: ↑Sun Sep 25, 2022 4:31 pmWasn’t the game last season in the PRC though.

Oh ok my memory.

Re: Worcester’s woes
So past 4:30pm and the gates locked and the timeliness nearly reached. Word is that a 48 hour time extension being sought.
Re: Worcester’s woes
Apparently their insurance is set to expire tonight at midnight as well, without it no players can train. So unless this is paid for then an extension is not much help. Also if this gets pushed back even further into the week then it will only cause more problems for potential fixtures next weekend if it ends up not coming to a happy ending.
As sad as it is to say it, it is probably best if the axe were to be swung tonight.

Re: Worcester’s woes
Come up as sky news flash suspended from all competitions. Very sad
Re: Worcester’s woes
Gutted for the players, staff and supporters. Someone has to answer for this. There are staff who are now out of work and unable to support themselves, because they placed their trust in the owners.
