Men in Black to face Saints at stadium in September


Saracens are hoping to set a new world record attendance for a club rugby match when they face Northampton Saints at Wembley.

The Guinness Premiership side have confirmed their home clash with the Saints on Saturday, September 12 will be switched to the famous stadium.

The Men in Black are trying to smash the attendance record, which was 80,000 at Croke Park last season, by offering adult tickets at £10.

Tickets are now on sale with under-16s admission only costing £5.

Sarries chairman Nigel Wray said: "It must be several decades since a family of four was able to book a big day out at Wembley for just £30.

"I've been fortunate enough to go to the new Wembley on a number of occasions and it really is a fantastic experience. Getting tickets for Wembley events can be difficult enough but now we're giving fans the chance to watch a great game of rugby, enjoy some great entertainment and experience the stadium at a fantastic price."

I hope Nigel Wray is rewarded with the attendance he deserves and 6,740 turn up. I would love it if Watford could get promoted and we could tell Nigel to pack up his little club and try and find another pitch to ruin.

Ha ha ha! They struggle to half fill 18,000 capacity Vicarage Rd. By moving 8 miles down the road, they reckon they'll get 80,000 fans! Yeah, good luck with that!!

Ofcourse they won't...even the Sarries fans admit tickets will go to local schools and rugby clubs.

Plus any Watford supporting Sarries fans will go to the footie match at the Vic.

Nigel says 'It must be several decades since a family of four was able to book a big day out at Wembley for just £30' - talk about desperation, might as well make it 50p a ticket - still anything to prove Saracens are one of world sports major names eh old chap and not an embarrassing little hobby of yours that nobody other than 6,702 odd men wearing fezs give a **** about.
