According to the Daily Mail, Wasps have plans well underway to build a new training complex close to the Ricoh Arena and move to Coventry to train from their base in Acton within three years.
‘We will be watching the Wasps situation with considerable interest,’ said Rugby Players Association chairman and former Wasps player Damian Hopley. ‘It will be fascinating to see how it pans out.
‘Will Wasps play in Coventry but still train in Acton? That is important because players have families, mortgages and children in local schools.
‘It would be madness not to consider the implications of what is being proposed. Personally, I’m a sentimentalist and find talk of a move quite sad.’
