Wasps: Former Premiership club secure land to build new stadium in Kent

Former Premiership club Wasps have moved a step closer to a return to professional rugby by securing land to build a new stadium in Kent.

The six-time Premiership title winners were relegated after going into administration two years ago with debts of £95m.

They were then subsequently barred from competing in the Championship last season but have applied to re-enter the second tier for 2025-26.

Club owner Christopher Holland said the club had secured a 10-year option on land as part of a wider development scheme in Swanley, Kent.

"It is rewarding that we have managed to achieve this milestone with the support of key stakeholders," he said.

"It brings our aspiration of a new home in the region closer and hopefully demonstrates our determination to recover Wasps sustainably."
