Former Wasps player and Director Rob Smith has said that he will not watch Wasps at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry.
Smith, who said that the Ricoh Arena was too far away to travel to, told the BBC: "You've got (Leicester) Tigers, you've got Northampton Saints, you've got Worcester... and Coventry Rugby Club itself.
"They've been into the (local) clubs, into the schools trying to drum up their support for their clubs for some 20 years or more - or a lot longer in the case of Coventry itself.
"We've been doing the same in our area in Buckinghamshire, in Middlesex and Oxfordshire and all those links and all those partnerships that have been built up over a long, long time with clubs are going to be broken."
