Let Wasps fly high - at air park
OF COURSE we don't want Wycombe to lose Wasps. It seems obvious to me that the council should offer to relocate them, with Wanderers, from Adams Park to the Wycombe Air Park site at Booker.
This would solve the congestion and parking difficulties which blight the route to Adams Park, currently deterring supporters from attending matches, as well as annoying the residents who live in the area. With the proximity of the Booker site to the M40, it could even perhaps be connected by a direct motorway spur.
The site would provide Wanderers with a stadium immediately next to their training ground. It would provide a resource of value and interest to a greater proportion of Wycombe's population than the Air Park, especially if it was also able to accommodate the sports facilities currently looking for a new home from the present Handy Cross site. And, as far as Wasps are concerned, the town would keep an excellent neighbour and get rid of a noisy one.

Why can't anyone see the best place to put any new Football/Rugby ground would be on the south west side of the Junction 4 of the M40. We have the land (ok, yes Green Belt) there to build. We could do what Reading had the foresight to do and a Council to suport them. We NEED a large hotel, with parking. So lets not do anything with the air park, remember in some plan or other this is down for housing at some point in the future, when the lease is up.

I have a better idea. Why not relocate Wasps to C Davies back garden? That way we can get rid of this whinging buffoon and his irrational hatred of an airfield that has been in existence for over 70 years.

I also have an idea. If mcupis would like to sell his final ticket, I'm sure we can offer him a good price. A little off the top, however, to compensate us for having to sit with all the other Bath mardy losers.

We nearly bought a house on Booker Common and withdrew after we had been petrified by landing aircraft. If a house is under threat, as we seemed to be, why put fourteen thousand at risk? There are no satisfactory sites for a large stadium the wanderers found that out when they left loakes park and searched forever and the present ground was the best they could come up with. So don’t worry you London Wasp rugger typesWDC will come to; the rescue and drive a coach and horses through the lovely buckinghamshire countryside through the green belt, and the local plan to give you a ground at any cost to the environment. On that I’am prepared to wager.

i wonder how many people actually use this so called green belt!! i am not a sports fan at all, but think about how much money a new stadium would bring with the supporters spending their money in our shops, cinema's, restuarants,parking meters, and hotels, i do sympathise with the people who "might" lose homes, i also believe the airfield should stay as its an important part of wycombe, c'mon people stop being so negative!!
