[QUOTE="Teh Mite, post: 519665, member: 12332"] Pre-season games never draw hugely - last year saints and leinster rematched the HEC final, using 2nd strings, pre-season and didn't pull big crowds. They're doing the same this year and I'll suspect the crowd will be fewer then 10000 at FG. A far cry from a full house in Cardiff. Sarries are chasing a quick buck, kicking their regular home support (those who maybe cannot afford to travel to Europe for a home game) square in the balls. Even if the crowd is big, full of neutral supporters the atmosphere will be flat. Or even hostile towards them in support of BO. "Expanding the game" is typical Eddie Griffiths spin and a smoke screen for the real reason they're carrying out the move.Sarries certainly won't pull in new fans abroad whith their gimmicky songs and half-time pop-music acts.
