That’s what Saracens deserves for having a plastic pitch and being a plastic club

Given their next game is away at Clermont which I would expect Clermont to win they could be looking at 6 out of 6 losses going into our game with them on Christmas Eve. What a shame that would be :smt005

I don't believe the pitch was the main problem but the ice hazard etc to supporters on the terraces?

As usual, the numpty haters are blaming Saracens.

The reason for the postponement had nothing to do with the pitch, it was safety concerns regarding travel to the match (in the main) and for the safety of spectators.

Is anybody criticising the heads of the hundreds of schools closed for the exact same reason because of the snow?

Sarries are too good a side for there not to be a reaction - which I sincerely hope comes against Wuss on December 30th and NOT before!
