You can trust your average rugby fan to behave Pedro.

Not a huge rugby fan but went along to this. Think said crowd was 55k.
There were a few empty seats at one of the ends. Normal seats blocked off on the top tiers.
One thing that annoyed us was that there was no security checks - other than bag checks. Arrived at 2.20 and walked straight through the security areas.
Beers allowed in the seats - as is normal at the rugby and every seat had big flag things.
Obviously the L185 or whatever they are called prefer the rugby fans.

Then it would nearly have sunk as low as the Australian cricket team Sven.
Nearly.

Can we hire the tubby cunt in the off season to sink it down a few more feet?

Why are they playing there?
Where do they usually play?

I hope they don't make a mess of the pitch, it would stop us playing our silky one touch football!

Good news is that the pitch will be about a foot lower after all these chubsters have rolled around on it for 80 mins so we might be able to get some more retractable seats in.
What are the ticket prices like for this?

I’m surprised there’s so many empty seats for this game. I can understand it with us, where people buy an extra season ticket or two and we have 19 games there, for the rugby though it is a one off so why buy a ticket if you’re not going to go.

There’s a fair number there who haven’t turned up too. Fuck it though, the day ends in a ‘Y’ so you’ll look for any angle to see anything as being bigger/better/greater than West Ham.

Saracens is pleased to announce that tickets for Sarries vs Quins at London Stadium this weekend are now sold out.
The match up between London rivals Sarries and Quins has always been a popular fixture and Saracens now look forward to welcoming a 57,000 capacity crowd to London Stadium on Saturday.
Saracens chairman Nigel Wray said: “It’s great to have sold out the London Stadium on our first visit there, a stadium that all of us will forever associate with the likes of Usain Bolt, Mo Farah and Jessica Ennis-Hill
NOT WHUFC then??? Ha Ha!!!

It’s definitely a sellout , same as all our games.
If they can sell those tickets, it must be worth them having a rugby team in there for the season. Wonder what would stop them

Re: Rugby at the Hotpoint

I was thinking that. The atmosphere is worse than anything served up in any of our games. So are the amount of empty seats. Mind you, it is rugby.
I was thinking if there’s anything to stop them having a rugby team there for the whole season?
