Arsenal supporting Saracens fan acquaintances of mine absolutely spitting about this. Kudos to all involved for making it happen.
Allianz stadium is Astro turfisnt this going to destroy the pitch? surely you cant use the Astro for rugby.
however this is want we want a stadium which is hosting lots of gigs, and events on the artificial pitch it will be a game changer!

I'd be surprised, Quins v Saracens is a massive match and gets a huge turnout at Twickenham. I should think its being done as its more neutral than Twickenham, which is where Quins play some of their 'Big Game' matches, which is literally across the road from the Stoop where Quins play. Plus Saracens are historically in from the Barnet area (ish) so moving to Tottenham I wouldn't have thought been their area?Question to the rugby fans: do you think this is it just one game or will this lead to Saracens moving in eventually?
It seems to be very common for Rugby teams to move around. Since Saracens' entering the professional league almost 20 years ago i remember them playing at Southbury Road Stadium in Enfield, Barnet, Watford and playing the odd game here or thereI'd be surprised, Quins v Saracens is a massive match and gets a huge turnout at Twickenham.

Won’t happen now, maybe try and get Exeter or Wasps into town to fill the void?with saracens being relegated, how will this affect our deal with them?
Sure I read it was a 5 year deal to host their 'big game' , but now with them in the Championship (and not allowed to enter European comps), theres no chance of them selling a game out here...wonder if the contract had a break clause due to something like this? If so, that's a few quid gone from our coffers
