Considering there was a Brentford option which would have seen the club build a 15k stadium (with added corporate facilities for extra revenues), the idea that we only had the Midlands as an option seems misleading to me.
Anyway there's nothing I can do about it now. I'll go to the games with play in London, but trips up to Coventry on a Sunday afternoon is not an easy option for me.
Happy with yesterday's win, but tinged with sadness that my club has left me behind.”

There is massive support for rugby in west London so I cannot understand why big teams like Irish , Welsh and Wasps have moved out. The Brentford option would have been ideal, I'm assuming that the plan would be to share with the football club who are moving next year.
My club , Nottingham, have moved next door to the Forest ground so we have football, cricket and rugby all within a few yards of each other.
