The Ricoh Arena: Q&As
What do you say to the London & Middlesex based fans who have been loyal fans of the club for many years?*
We value our supporters who have backed us through thick and thin, particularly over a challenging couple of years, and we understand that this move will be disruptive. However, we will do everything we can to help our supporters join us at our new home. This will include free coach transport for Season Ticket Holders from designated locations in the High Wycombe and West London areas for the rest of the season, as well as an upgrade in your Season Ticket seat, an exclusive hospitality area for Season Ticket Hoders and free parking.
We would dearly love your support to continue and for Wasps fans to enjoy games at the Ricoh Arena. We realise this will be challenging for our supporters, but Wasps and Wasps fans have never been a club to shirk a challenge. That is the spirit of the Club. We understand supporters will feel passionately about the move, we have asked ourselves the same questions supporters are currently asking. We have to weigh up every difficult question with what is best for long-term security of the Club. I would ask our supporters to take a step back if they can and consider the positive opportunities this will give their team.
Our supporters are incredibly important to us, but I would also ask our supporters to consider the alternative. 18 months ago we were an hour away from administration, an hour from the Club we all love disappearing forever. It is only thanks to our current owner that we are here today. 18 months on, we have the most extensive facility in world rugby to enjoy and our squad will benefit from investment the Arena allows.*
We know this is not in London as our supporters would prefer, but the question we keep coming back to is this: “Would you prefer to travel further each fortnight to support a successful Club, or no Club at all?”
