The English Rugby Club, Wasps was formed back in 1867 and they play their home games at Adam's Park which is situated in High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire and boasts a capacity of 10,000. Their first home was situated 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 ultimately went on to buy the ground.
Unknown to many 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 shakeup that lead to the formation of two totally 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 common to name football clubs after birds, animals and insects. In 1999 they finally became a professional Rugby Club and competed in the Rugby Union and altered their club logo to separate them from the amateur football club, Wasps F.C.
The Wasps are most prominent for their jersey colours that signifies the clubs name. In the whole history of the London Wasps they have never altered 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 conformed and stable professional rugby team.
They are one of the most thriving Rugby teams in the history of the game gaining major 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 encouraging and motivational to the Wasps success, these comprise the likes of former captain and strength to the team Lawrence Dallaglio and present England stars such as Phil Vickery, Josh Lewsey and Paul Sackey.
Recently they claimed the title of the Guinness A League, became English Champions and brought the Heineken Cup back to Adam's Park. The force they hold in their club and complete self-belief can only indicate that the Wasps Rugby team can only progress with every season.
