News incoming?

As part of proposals accepted by the sport’s governing body, a groundshare agreement has been reached with a Midlands venue – which will be announced in the near future – to host its home games.

Could be the CBSA, could be the BPA (likely given the earlier tweet), could be elsewhere!

Well - after the crappiest of days yesterday - that has put a little smile on my face.

Really needed that.

Could it be Sixways?

Could it be Sixways?

That wouldn't be a 'groundshare', would it?

[jamestaylor002]

Could it be Sixways?

Depends - only if we are sharing it with a Worcester who are coming back to the championship with us.

Otherwise, I hope not. We've pissed enough people off in the West Midlands 

[Neils]

Could it be Sixways?

No. That is wrapped up in the WW debacle.

While there is still a lot to do before anyone runs out for a game in a Wasps shirt for a championship game I massively relieved that its got even this far.

thank you to everyone involved so far!

Could it be Sixways?

That wouldn't be a 'groundshare', would it?

It could be as it would still be a share with a low level Worcester or with their junior teams etc. Unlikely though, I'll admit.

Wherever we're playing, II'm happy this afternoom

Fantastic news.  Great to see Kenny and Scrivs involved as well.

On the stadium front, it does feel like it will be at BPA, at least for now. I wonder if, in the event of promotion, there would be an option to move to the CBS. Longer-term, a move to a ground share (and partnership) with WDC's Community Ground could still make the most sense.

Telegraph article linking us to a move to Solihull - anyone have access?

Wasps quit Coventry for... Solihull

Damson Park, the home of Solihull Moors Football Club, is close to being announced as Wasps’ new ground


Wasps will quit Coventry and plan to move to Solihull after being parachuted into next season’s Championship.

Telegraph Sport can reveal the former European champions’ new owners have chosen to relocate after holding initial talks with Mike Ashley’s Frasers Group, which bought the Coventry Building Society Arena when the club were plunged into administration.

Damson Park, the home of Solihull Moors Football Club, is close to being announced as Wasps’ new ground as they bid to make an immediate return to the Premiership after being thrown out over their financial collapse.

With a capacity of 5,500, it is almost six times smaller than the CBS Arena but would arguably be better suited to the club’s current circumstances.

Telegraph Sport has been told the Rugby Football Union has agreed to waive a regulation that would have forced Wasps to remain in Coventry for three years given they do not own or control their own ground.

Wasps, founded and based in London for most of their 156-year history, made the controversial move to the Midlands eight years ago, raising £35 million through a bond scheme to buy a 250-year lease on the CBS Arena.

Talks with Frasers Group were said not to have progressed to how much the club would be charged for staying put.

Right in the middle of JLR factories!

Maybe get them to sponsor us again 

[jamestaylor002]

Much easier to get to! Park at my dad's and walk across!

[Bloke in North Dorset]

Makes some sense, 30 mins from EPIC and not likely to be a large rent.
