The Times

Due to the short turnaround time between the LV=semi and the LV= final we are asking those that are interested in a bus to Sixways (should we get there) to pre-register their interest. If you would like to use the SSA bus, please email your details, no. of seats required, and pick up point to travel@saracenssupporters.org. Please note that ONLY emails will be accepted to ensure that we have contact details. Should we reach the final, you will then be contacted with a PayPal link for payment (price t.b.c).

Pre-registration will close on Friday 12th March (before the Semi) and coach bookings will not be taken from those not pre-registered. Please therefore email now to avoid disappointment

Here’s what some of the press reports have to say on Cipriani’s victory over Sarries.

How others see us?

By chance I came across a blog entry called One Long Week which contained the following:

“Rugby is such a strange sport. I went in not knowing what it was like except that it was kind of like American football, but not. I don’t even think I understood the point of the game when it was over. I did learn along the way, but I still have NO idea what was going on. It was sure an experience. The most entertaining part was the song for the home team. They were called the Saracens and their mascot was a camel. There was also what I think was a dog with a black eye. I guess that pertains to the roughness of rugby. Anyway, the song went “Stand up, Stand up for the Saracens, for the Saracens…” When this song played, all the fans stood up and waved a Saracens flag. There was an older man sitting two rows in front of us that got VERY into this song. If it played he was up out of his seat and put his whole self into waving his flag. If the song started and he couldn’t find his flag, he just waved his arms. He was very amusing. Unfortunately it got very cold after halftime. I stayed for the whole game though. It was fun for the most part. I didn’t do much Saturday night either.”
