This was known about. The only delay is extending the facilities at Henley (Changing Rooms, Showers etc). From what I have seen a fair extension but the land is there.
Knew there was a move towards it being more based in Coventry particularly the training part didn't realise it was a wholesale move like it reads here.
Going to be a tough season for them this year though ahead of that and have to look to invest and recruit heavily for the season after especially as premiership places are reassessed at the end of it. Tigers also setting up locally as well last season and Saints linking with Loughborough Lightning plus Worcester well established.
Yes - I think they are too late to the party. However they have, apparently, had fairly successful Womens Rugby Camps in the area - time will tell.
The girls rugby camps have been good, my daughter has been, but only odd day here and there. My daughter has also been to the Worcester ones which are multiple days and have significantly higher attendance. Also a lot the top u18 female players in Coventry are now going to Hartpury college for education and rugby, another top club not far away.
Still the best way to keep your premier 15s place is finish in the top 6 which guarantees it without any sort of review process also think I made a mistake in my earlier post and retendering is end of this season before the move and looking at Wasps loss of players versus others recruitment a guaranteed place looks unlikely.
