Wasps wait on ground-share decision
May 10, 2002

Wasps will discover whether they will be allowed to play at Adams Park next season on May 20.

The groundless state of the London outfit was highlighted as Rotherham were denied access to the Premiership.

Wasps have a legally binding ground-share deal for the next two years with Wycombe Wanderers, but their plans were booted out by the local council last month, who claimed there was no provision to play rugby at the 10,000-capacity stadium.

The decision caught both clubs by surprise and after providing more detailed evidence, they now expect to receive the green light next Monday evening.

Wasps have been forced out of Loftus Road for two seasons because Premier League football outfit Fulham are renovating their Craven Cottage home.

While the Wycombe plans have remained uncertain, Wasps have entered negotiations with league rivals Harlequins and Third Division Oxford United about a possible alternative, although director Charles Levison is optimistic the Adams Park option will be successful.

"It was our number one choice and we are hopeful of a positive outcome from the council meeting on May 20," he said.
