Sarries for sure. Twickenham is not likely to sell out and there is a chance that Sarries will have some very good deals going to bump up their support. Would not be surprised to see £10 tickets going on sale for this, as they have done before for their big games at Wembley.

As someone who spent many years living and working in the area I would go for Marlow. A much nicer town, and ten minutes by taxi to Adams Park/Wycombe Centre. Trains from London, changing at Maidenhead or the Reading Bus from High Wycombe are travel options.

I will be staying in the Chez Hornet Senior Doss House!
Treating the other half to the Travelodge High Wycombe (got it for £20), dinner at a nearby KFC and brunch the following morning at Krispy Kreme in the shopping centre across the road from the hotel :)

The thought was, by the time you get a train to anywhere decent, pubs etc would be closing given the lateish KO.

I will be sleeping in my bed, Chez Degz, Birmingstan.

Happily it's a Friday night, so the pubs will still be open by the time I get back.

Thanks Hornet, do you reckon they will open the middle tier ?.

More than Likely. I know that they have crowds of 40K at Wembley for big Premiership Matches. Sarries do tend to do something out of the ordinary for bigger matches, (cr@p Rap Stars and X Factor acts). Their Commercial Department didn't push for Twickenham unless they had something planned to pull in the Punters. I was aiming to make the match by the other half's God-Daughter is celebrating her 30th on the Saturday, so I shall be flying back for that. Chance she might do a couple of tracks from her new album.

Only the cheap £20 seats in the corners left in Ulster allocation onsale on Monday and under 1k of them. Talk is they won't be opening the middle tier so whether that is a ploy to sell out the cheap ones on the bottom or whether Sarries have not sold their own allocation will be hard to know, though their own season ticket holders would not be pleased if premium tickets are sold on middle tier at knock down prices, those previous matches all were priced cheap from the start.

I'm assuming there won't be many still around on Sunday, but the B&I CUp Quarter is in Bristol at 3pm.

I'll be driving down.

No idea where the Ulster allocation is as they have not got the tickets yet as far as I know, several bought tickets in Block 22 but don't know if any left there
