Wasps set to play key home matches at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry (1 Viewer)

It's not really stealing is it?

Yes it is.

Many options somewhat closer to their home if they choose to use it.

Instead both stadium company and rugby club chase the filthy lucre.

Disgusting.

This deal was done months ago when we were playing at sixfields so really what is the issue.

Exactly the same issue as our club sodding off elsewhere. Sport clubs should be about tradition, heritage, identity...

Not the bottom line.

For me it all depends on why they are doing it and what their fans think. If there's a genuine need and their fans see it as a good thing then I have no issues with it. If it's a SISU-esque move then I can't see how anyone can support it.

Either way I won't be going, can't stand rugby!

Nonsense, it depends on sports clubs sticking to their territories that make their legacy and tradition.

Encourage this, and it loosens the ties for all clubs... including ours.

Would be so much easier if all professional clubs owned their own grounds.

Would stop then all this pimping nonsense.
