The London Wasps Rugby Club was established back in 1867 and they play their home games at Adam’s Park which is located in High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire and contains a capacity of 10,000. Their first home was located in North London down Finchley Road which was a rented ground, in 1923 they then moved to their first permanent home in Sudbury in the county of Middlesex and eventually went on to purchase the ground. They actually started off their life as a football team back in the year 1866 and were known as Hampstead Football Club, although there was a major transformation that lead to the formation of two completely new clubs. These two clubs were Harlequin Football Club and The Wasps Football Club. The name ‘Wasps’ is a peculiar name and that is because in the late 1800’s it was a general thing to name football clubs after birds, animals and insects. However it wasn’t until 1999 when they finally became a professional Rugby Club and competed in the Rugby Union and changed their club logo to divide them from the amateur football club, Wasps F.C. Perhaps one of the most famous featuresthat you would relate to the Wasps is for their jersey colours that signifies the clubs name. In the whole history of the London Wasps they have never changed their colours which to this day are still yellow and black for both the home and away kit, allowing them to out their image as a traditional and steady professional rugby team. They are one of the most victorious Rugby teams in the history of the game gaining key honours in the English Premiership, the Powergen Cup and the Heineken Cup. They also have a plethora of English National players from past and present that have been heartening and motivational to the Wasps success, these consist of the likes of former captain and backbone to the team Lawrence Dallaglio and present England stars such as Phil Vickery, Josh Lewsey and Paul Sackey. It was only a year ago that they claimed the title of the Guinness A League, became English Champions and brought the Heineken Cup back to Adam’s Park. The strength they hold in their club and sheer assurance can only imply that the Wasps Rugby team can only improve each calendar year.
