Apparently, according to Fissler in the Rugby Paper and now sort of confirmed by themselves, Wasps are moving to Coventry!

Don't think it will happen would be the beginning of the end for them.

Coventry already have Saints, tigers and Glous supporters.

Are they going to the Ricoh?

Apparently the Ricoh, being sponsored by Land Rover who are calling the shots!

Don't forget their own Coventry RFC.

The possibility of a move to Coventry seems to have a lot of emphasis although the last lines in the press seem to say this is unlikely or short term or that a move closer to London is more probable. I don't think it would be a good move for Wasps but it does make you think a bit more about the timing of the name change earlier this year.

No everybody's sending them to Coverntry because of their new kit choice.

Time to re-brand to Coventry Wasps.

Perhaps they will be called "Coventry Bees". Brum brum

Northampton Stains are playing some games at the Ricoh this season, but nobody wants to rebrand them as Coventry Nice-Chaps.

Coat? More like concrete shoes after that comment.

Apparently the above is starting to look serious, and permanent.

Seems a bit strange after the name change to London Wasps. I suspect a case of business meets sport. Perhaps Wasps will end up in London, but money will be made along the way.

The "London" was adopted in 1999 and dropped in June 2014 so not so strange.
