Wasps keen to return to 'highest level'

WASPS want to reform as a club “at the highest level possible” but may need to wait until the 202526 season to do so, says chairman Christopher Holland

It is a year since Wasps went into administration, a move that saw them ousted from the Premiership.

In May, they were told they will play “at the bottom of the playing pyramid” after an offer of a place in the second tier was withdrawn.

“But we have persevered,” Holland told Wasps’ website. “Our steadfast intention remains to return to rugby at the highest level possible, ideally for the 24-25 season, or if prudent and necessary, the 25-26 season.”

When Wasps were barred from playing in the Championship this season, the RFU said the club failed to meet a number of conditions that had been set out.
