The BBC are running an interveiw with chris ashton about how excited he is about moving to Saracens and how its going to freshen up his game and take it to the next level... Hahahahaha! OH MY GOD! funniest thing I've read all day!!!!! There'll have to be a coaching U turn at Saracens if Ashton is even going to see his outside centre get hold of the ball, let alone the ball get to him!

I have to say, the last paragraph sounds like two separate quotes and I don't think those three sentences went together in the first place. Someone's trying to make smoke without fire.

@ GoWalesGo - a friend of mine is a dyed-in-the-wool fez-head and he is royally pi$$ed off by their antics. He's been a season ticket holder for years and now can't get to many "home" games, due to their nomadic lifestyle.

A temporary move to Watford was one thing, but how can they even claim that Cape Town is a "home" game?!

And I quite often meet up with him to watch the Sarries : Bath fixtures. Not sure that will be practical this season, which will be a shame.

Aww lets face it Saracens, the fans aren't going to call it the Allianz Park. We're going to call it the Narco-bowl and demand complimentary pillows and hot coco and comfy reclining chairs that go all the way back to the horizontal position to make our 80 minute long naps as snooze-tasic as pos! ;)

I guess they will call Allianz Park their home when they can move in there? They've effectively been kicked out by Watford, and so can only play a few games there this season. So they have moved the other games around. I don't see what the problem is.

I haven't heard a lot of Saracens fans moaning, just other premiership fans!

So sarries have to take a game to Cape Town 'for the game to be viable'. Something seems slightly amiss here. For years the SANZAR unions argued against the inclusion of Argentina in the Trinations, and continue to argue against the inclusion of Argie clubs in Super Rugby, citing the financial and logistical problems involved. Well which is it? Either taking taking big games to new places creates financial benefits or provides finanacial burdens.

And where, exactly, are your "Home" supporters meant to call "Home"?

Money is one thing. Showcasing the game is another. But loyalty to your fans is something that Sarries seem to be forgetting.
