Wasps currently ground-share with Queens Park Rangers in west London. But that agreement could come to an end next season, if QPR agree to allow Fulham - whose ground is set to undergo redevelopment - use of their facilities. Should Wasps move away from London, they could well find themselves a new home at Wycombe.
Denney admitted that the players would miss the facilities at Loftus Road, but suggested the club would succeed wherever they are forced to relocate. "Obviously there's talk about the club going up to Wycombe," Denney told BBC Sport Online. "The trouble is we've built up quite a good fan base at Loftus Road. "It's a great place to be, it's got a great surface and great facilities. "But we also have a good catchment area in the Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire areas, so maybe moving up there will good for the club."
Wasps are currently languishing at the bottom of the Zurich Premiership and the 26-year-old's first priority is helping the club stave off relegation. "As a Wasps player I'm just concentrating on keeping the club in the Premiership," he said. "I think a Wasps team back to full fitness is a frightening sight, and we've got a number of quality players coming back. "I still think we can qualify for Europe, we've just got to take every game as it comes. "But the future looks bright for London Wasps at the moment" |
