Football Clubs News | Football Technology and Stadia

League One's Wycombe Wanderers have agreed to collaborate with rugby union side London Wasps in the search for a new stadium site.

Wycombe District Council is also involved in the project, which will seek to finalise the location of a new community stadium for the use of both clubs, who currently share the Adams Park ground.

Finding and assessing potential sites is expected to take about 12 months, with £500,000 being invested in the project by the council and Wycombe Sports Developments, a specially-created company.

"We're looking at a number of sites in the Wycombe area," club owner Steve Hayes told BBC Three Counties Radio.

"We've secured a partnership and got a collaboration agreement in place … It will take another year to say which is the ideal site."

Wycombe Wanderers have played at Adams Park since 1990 and Wasps became tenants at the 10,000-capacity ground in 2002.

The Buckinghamshire side are battling to avoid relegation from League One this season, with a 2-2 draw against Exeter City on Saturday (March 20th) leaving them eight points from safety in 23rd place.
