Stephen Jones takes a look at Wasps' need for a new stadium in the wake of their successful Twickenham experiment in The Times.
"Wasps are really under pressure now. Not because of their defeat to Bath in an outstanding match at Twickenham last weekend (although they will be bitterly upset at the manner of it) but the size of the attendance that day.
"More than 60,000 went to Twickenham to take part in an outstanding occasion that even some diehard Wasps fans of my acquaintance admitted they thoroughly enjoyed. The feasting in the car park and the high quality of entertainment before and after the game must have compensated in some way for the bitter feeling of defeat.
"The match proved that there are a huge number of potential Wasps supporters out there. The number of those dressed in Wasps garb at Twickenham was around two or three times the amount they could cram in to their own stadium in High Wycombe."
