Was that the year we played Watford - that was lethal!?
I was lifted off my feet then squashed against a barrier - it was all standing behind the goals

Oh, I thought you meant the West Ham game. 3-2 at home, 0-2 away.

In the end a sponsor for a Ground will look at long term opportunity for exposure. Number of hits. You mention Global Brand - well if a business wants a global price it has to have Global exposure. Rugby does not have that in the same way as football. There is some exposure in Japan but other far east markets there is not and even there it is very minority.

It is in the main a limited colonial sport with no global appeal. Football has. So in negotiations the association with the football club becomes a consideration as even at League One level it attracts the same exposure level as Wasps and Wasps are at the pinnacle of their game So yes it annoys them like hell.

Shirt sponsorship is small beer

Surely it is insane for any sports team. Football is insane.

will be weird calling it something else! wonder how this will effect wasps?

With football you at least have the vague hope of making it rich in the PL, £100m for finishing bottom now isn't it? You win the rugby premier league and the European cup and you're going to get nowhere near that money.
