The announcement that Wasps will be relocating to Coventry’s Ricoh Arena in December has not been met with universal acclaim – far from it. Supporters of the traditionally London-based side have taken to social media in droves (pun completely intended) to protest against the move. The overwhelming sense among a large number of fans is clear: they feel the club has forgotten its roots, and disregarded, disrespected, and therefore ultimately lost many of its once loyal fans. As a life-long Wasps fan myself, I can empathise with these sentiments: fans were not consulted, the deal was conducted in secret, and of course travelling to Coventry for games will be a far less convenient, or completely non-viable, option for many supporters. However, fans must look at the context in which this decision was taken. The options were to move, or to go out of business. A club that has been to the brink of bankruptcy, and survived so much uncertainty, may just have guaranteed its future: this should be a cause for celebration.
