Wasps have dropped London from their name for the forthcoming season, and are now believed to be drawing up plans to relocate the club away from High Wycombe to the West Midlands, specifically Coventry City’s Ricoh Arena. Wasps are no strangers to the ground, having played a number of Heineken Cup games there in the past.
Land Rover have their headquarters in the area, and the new club sponsors are Land Rover owners Tata Motors, so read into that what you will….
Wasps would not be the only rugby team to have shifted location to find a permanent home in recent years, but there is no denying that those clubs who are leading such a nomadic existence are the ones who find it harder to create the home atmosphere found in the West of England or Leicester.
You can appreciate Wasps’ need to move and find a more suitable home , but surely it should be closer to their traditional home and not further away?”
