BP - absolutely agree.
Even if the RFU had a change of heart and allowed it, there is no future for any other professional rugby clubs in London. There just isn't the following to make it viable. Even London Irish who combined three clubs and then decided to become the plastic Paddies to appeal to the Irish fan base struggle to attract fans.
Wasps have, sort of, settled in the south midlands area, but still have a loyal fan base from when they were based in the London/High Wycombe area. Therefore it would make sense to TRY to locate somewhere where both sets of fans could get to watch, but also in the general area which the RFU would approve of.
As a Championship team they will never attract the sort of player we had prior to admin, unless we get someone like Trailfinders Mike Gooley on board. However we might attract players who have been left adrift by the 2 collapses.
There is no doubtthat, unless we can get a sugar daddy, we will not be in the position of ownong our own ground. We will need to have the use of an existing groun`d or find some sort of joint venture whereby we can add, say, stands to an existing area. A bit like Bath do at the Rec.
What we also have to remember is that, wherever we do play in the immediate future, we are there for a minimum of three years, unless something happens to stop it
Was just about to post this when someone who knows more about the area phoned and said "are you sure it's Solihull Moor -what about the old Bees stadium in Sharmans Cross Roadl is currently unused, or even their current Portway stadium off J1 M42"
Always a Wasp
