"London" Wasps to relocate to London? Empty "London" Wasps to relocate to London?

A tiny piece by Nick Cain in "The Rugby Paper" suggests that one of the consortium interested in buying Wasps will plan to link up with Brentford FC and move to a new 20,000 stadium near Kew Bridge.

While this is not a new story ( http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/retailandconsumer/8918312/Bees-circle-Wasps-with-a-view-to-joining-forces.html ) apaprently this consortium are now the favourites to buy the club.

Because what that area needs is more rugby clubs?

It's a pretty old story, last I heard the project had run into financial trouble and the plans were being put on ice.

Esher is 10mins down the A316 too.

Also Ealing and Rosslyn Park are very close and doing well in the National 1 league
