Have sold their prized asset Neal Maupey to Brighton for a reputed fee of £20 million. If they re-invest some or all of that in the further strengthening of the squad, they could well have a team capable of pushing for a place in the Premiership. Conversely, they could well intend to use it to offset the cost of their new Stadium which will be ready by the Summer of 2020. Its apparently in close proximity to Kew Bridge and will have a capacity close on 20,000. The only possible downside might be the long term condition of the pitch as they propose to share the ground with the London Irish Rugby Union team. Union players tend to wear the longer aluminium type studs with the consequence that though there is a difference in when games take place the playing surface can become cut up and can become badly damaged.
Very much on the corner of Kew Bridge Station. One of the sides has been angled to squeeze in along the train tracks. Just a shell at the moment and clearly a long way off. Not convinced its a going to be a good move personally, certainly not going to allow them much scope to grow the fanbase if its got a capacity in the teens of thousands.
