We certainly have a long history. It's just more varied.
Absolutely and I appreciate how my initial comment may have come across suggesting that Wasps didn't have a history (we of course have a very long, rich history).
''It's not about a city; it's not about a town; it's not about a place. It's about the people.''
100% and this is what makes Wasps so unique.
I just think that Wasps have probably had a harder time finding a home and are probably perceived as an unwelcome guest by others (I can only comment with how Wasps were received by some in Coventry). Whereas other clubs, like Leicester/Northampton/Bath/Gloucester, you could say "have always been there", therefore I'd imagine it's easier to get what they want.
I'd imagine it being harder for a clubs like Wasps where they try to establish a home for themselves and trying to win over the local population (referring to Coventry again, it's not like many people were sorry to see us go).
