Leicester playing at Goldington Road

[Mr Bean]

It is my understanding that the LV cup match between saracens and leicester on 9/11/12 will be played at goldington road in bedford. also seems to have been comfirmed on the saracens website

Saracens confirm fixture details for 2012/2013
Issued on behalf of Saracens
Saracens is now able to confirm final details of the full schedule of home fixtures for the coming season.

1. The LV=Cup match against Leicester Tigers will be played on Friday November 9 (KO 19h45) at Goldington Road, Bedford, pending PGB approval, and will not be included in the 14-match season ticket

Perhaps enough Tigers supporters will go and make it the equivalent of a home game?

[Snorbins]

Well theres enough support down here, so a good crowd should be expected.
The ground is made for the kicking game so expect Saffers to play to the slope?

[Mr Bean]

The slope is key at Bedford but I wouldn't say a kicking game would thrive. Bedford are a team that will mainly try and run with the ball when they can. Saracens will have the slight advantage of having been played some pre season games at GR over the last couple of years but also a fair few of their players have turned out for Bedford. General rule of thumb is that having the slope gives you a 10 point advantage and Bedford tend to go down the hill in the second half. Should be a good game.

Yet another example of sarries ignoring their season ticket holders. We would all be outraged if tigers started moving games and did not include them in the season tickets.

This is a LV cup match so I don't think it would be included in the season ticket anyway

A season ticket usually covers all home games in all competitions up until the knock out stages.

No we wouldn't - if Tigers had made it clear that certain games would not be included in the season ticket and that the price of the ST reflects this. Also, I would expect ST holders will get first dibs on tickets for these games ... just like Tigers have done with the Maori game, for example

[jamiewilkinson]

Are they trying to gain advantage with all these venues they are moving their games to, and covering it up with "expanding our fan base".
I hope that tigers dont take any games further away than the crisp bowl down the road (during redevelopment of course)

[Grannyman]

Are tickets for this game on sale yet?

Dunno. Have you tried enquiring at the Saracens' ticket office since they are the 'home' side or maybe looking on this site to see if they are available?

[Grannyman]

It's not on the sarries ticket page or the Bedford site. I'll try calling them.
