Why not? They never put their hands in their pockets when they bought the Ricoh either. Still happened though through the power of investors.

Said investors would have to buy off the Ricoh debt, and then pay for Brentford, and then pay for the new ground.

Who is paying for wasps to move in with Brentford then because they certainly wouldn’t do it.

The stadium is being built by Brentford FC with council involvement. Its the stadium that when Wasps were asked about it following their move here they claimed that rugby was banned from the stadium which is a bit odd as they are actively seeking a rugby club as a tenant.

I would have thought if you were a Wasps supporter from the pre-Cov days it would be seen as an ideal solution. An 18K stadium 1.3 miles from their traditional home.

Even things like branding the stadium would be easy with Brentford being the Bees.

They wouldn't be, they would be sharing, and possibly taking a stake in, a new stadium.

Situated next to Kew Bridge station, less than a mile away from Griffin Park, it’s much more than just a stadium for professional football though. It will also be home to a professional rugby team and is at the heart of plans to regenerate the area, including much needed new homes and commercial opportunities.
