No green light: RFU threatens to leave Twickenham over Beyoncé spat
- RFU wants licence to stage more concerts and events
- Sweeney moots move to Milton Keynes or Birmingham
The Rugby Football Union chief executive, Bill Sweeney, has threatened to take England away from Twickenham and move to Milton Keynes or Birmingham because of licensing restrictions after missing out on hosting lucrative Beyoncé concerts at the stadium.
Sweeney has warned that if Richmond council does not grant the RFU permission to stage more non-rugby events at Twickenham, “it would be a tough call for us”, with a move away from London mooted.
