A thread part 2:
08/10/2014 A place to call home - One thing Wasps had always lacked was a stadium to call home. That was something Derek Richardson was intent on putting right and it came out of the blue with the purchase of the Ricoh Arena.

21/12/2014 Moving day - I'm not going to lie, I shed a few tears before kick off at the sight of a packed stadium with Wasps flags flying. An empathetic win over Irish made the drive home enjoyable too!
15/11/2015 Leinster demolished Part 1 - Given their unbeaten season it's hard to believe that less than 5 years ago Wasps went to Dublin and won 33-6, but we did
22/11/2015 Toulon tortured - it was followed a week later with an even better 32-6 win against Toulon at home

23/01/2016 Leinster demolished Part 2 - Wasps secured top spot of a pool nobody gave us a chance of getting out of with a 51-10 win against Leinster to set up a quarter final against Exeter. More on that later
14/02/2016 The St Valentine's Day Massacre - It was more in hope than expectation that I set off to Allianz Park. It turned out the team had all had their Weetabix that morning...
09/04/2016 "What can you say about this match? What can you say about this club? They do not do ordinary" - the words of @andNickMullins summed up Wasps entirely. One of the most enthralling games I've ever seen ended with a @CPiutau try in the corner and a @jimmygopps conversion
that left me thankful I had a prescription for diazepam in my wallet and that the ground was next to a pharmacy. I needed it!
20/05/2017 Even more Tigers heartbreak - if one moment made the move worthwhile it was watching Wasps fans old and new celebrate as one as @_JoshBassett scrapped in at the corner to win us the game and a trip to Twickenham for the Premiership final.
Sadly it wasn't to be, but make no mistake Exeter, we will get our revenge!
After then if truth be told my passion and enthusiasm waned a bit for the best part of three years (not that I missed many home games and did a lot of away games too!)
And then...
And then...
21/02/2020 60-10 - The @Leeblackett12 era started in empathetic fashion with an astonishing performance against Saracens, Wasps running out 60-10 winners with 8 fantastic tries. Friday nights at the Ricoh aren't easy when you live in London, but it was worth it!
So that's it, the highs and lows of my 25 years as a @WaspsRugby fan. It's been an amazing experience and I've made many friends along the way.
Thank you to all the players, coaches, staff & friends I've met (not just Wasps fans) along the way, and here's to the next 25 years!
