The Saracens Six-Pack - flexible, easy and affordable
Launched today, the Saracens Six-Pack gives you the flexibility to attend six Saracens matches of your choice in the 2010/11 season – starting at just £75 for adults and £25 for juniors. It’s flexible, easy and affordable.

At Saracens, we understand that buying a full season-ticket does not suit everybody’s needs. Even with the introduction of the Members’ Discount Directory, offering season-ticket holders substantial discounts on a wide range of high street brands and services, supporters may not be able to attend every match.

So we have created the ‘Saracens Six-Pack’ – a flexible, easy & affordable way of reserving your seat at the SIX matches you really want to watch in the coming season. This package will suit supporters who may have other commitments on some weekends or perhaps who are studying away from home.

1. YOU DECIDE the section of the ground – platinum, gold, silver or red-and-black
2. YOU RECEIVE six vouchers to be redeemed against any regular season home match during the 2010/11 season
3. When you’re ready, YOU DECIDE the six matches (Vicarage Road or Wembley, Aviva Premiership or Heineken Cup) you would like to attend
4. YOU GUARANTEE your seat to see Saracens in action in 2010/11.

Prices start at £75 for adults and £25 for juniors.

Please note the Saracens Six-Pack is only available until Friday September 10th, 2010.

A Grand Day out at Garmin
The Saracens squad spent Friday last week at the headquarters of new main club sponsor Garmin in Southampton.

In the morning, the players trained at local rugby club Trojans where invited schools were able to watch training and then speak to members of the Saracens coaching and playing staff.

After lunch, it was off to Garmin for an afternoon with the staff and their families at the company with games of tag rugby, kicking contests, passing drills and speed tests the order of the afternoon - and much fun was had by all as you can see from our pictures of the day.
