Saracens away January 2016

[Rooster]

sounds like it's easier to get from Plumbridge to Ravenhill using Translink

Get the 92b to Omagh, the Goldliner 273 to the big smoke then Metro 6a or 7b to Ravenhill......Simples

See I told you it was easier

[WOODY]

For those with long enough memories and shuttle bus experiences I have four words to say, London Irish, madejski stadium!

Ouch....I'd prefer to forget about that one

Worst away trip ever, in the worst venue ever

Reading, The Walkabout, the ground????????

All of them?

Folks

Just received this from Hendon RFC:

I hope you don’t mind me contacting you; It’s in relation to this Saturday 16th January 2016, Ulster’s Rugby fixture against Saracens RFC at Allianz Park Stadium.

I currently manage the bar/club house at Hendon RFC which is an amateur club visibly located 300m next to Allianz Park Stadium. Last year we hosted the Munster Supporters Group where they used our club as a meeting point both before and after their European fixture against Saracens RFC. I believe they enjoyed our hospitality where we provided drinks, BBQ and live music entertainment, with both the Munster choir and their group residency band playing in-between.

On behalf of Hendon RFC I would also like to offer our facilities to the Ulster Rugby Supporters Club this Saturday where we will have drinks and BBQ all day, along with live music playing both before and after the match. We also offer Free WIFI, card payments with limited cash back available as there are no cash machines located near Allianz Park. For those supporters without tickets we will be showing the match live on our full HD projector.

Also, on our main pitch at 2pm Hendon RFC will play Saracens Amateurs with both teams 2nd and 1st in their league respectively with the result potentially having a deciding factor on which of the two teams wins the league and securing automatic promotion, so it should be a good fought match to watch. We respect grassroots rugby and like honouring the traditions and hospitality particularly post-match with ‘man of the match’, ‘boat races’ etc. we try to provide a traditional club atmosphere which we believe all rugby supporters will enjoy.

I very much hope both you and the Ulster Supporters Club will consider visiting us and using our facilities as a meeting place to enjoy our hospitality.


....I am sure that non-URSC members can avail of Hendon's facilities too!!

The result was the best bit of the trip, so go figure the rest

Was just about to ask if nonURSC members were welcome.

I believe we massively outnumber the URSC. By the way, did the guy who tried to det up a website get allowed in the end or did you militantly shut him down?

Needless to say the Ulster Supporters of London are growing in number and enjoying our independence

Hendon RFC sounds good to me - that's 5 of us who will be there - would rather give my money to a local Rugby Club than Sorries

It appears to have the same transport problems so may be out after game location

[ayepod]

Looks like there's a further option of Hendon Central and a few pints in the Claddagh Ring, which is a big pub I've heard of, albeit not previously been to.

They seem to be running a shuttle bus to the match.

Hendon Rugby Club mention the Bodhran nearer the station but it looks a bit dingy on Google Maps.

Any chance of Munster v Stade Francais (1pm) being on the telly in the Saracens bar?

Philomena's for a fry up and early pints. Then head up towards the ground nice and early to ask anyone in a sorries top questions like, what is the name of your coach? What position does number 15 represent? How many games do they get free tickets to a year? Are they ok chairing on cheats?

FYI guys & gals

Another local rugby club, Millhill RFC offering hospitality now to,albeit their parking is already full.

Please see below and decide for yoursleves:

Just reaching out to all from the Ulster supporters club and letting you know all fans, supporters and families are most welcome to come into our club before and after the game. The beer is nice and cheap, we serve hot food and we've a lovely open fire to warm up by!

We're showing all live rugby so all your supporters are welcome to stick around for that too. The club is a 2 min walk to the Allianz park. Unfortunately we have already had our parking fully booked.

We can't wait to see some of the Ulster lot making our clubhouse a brighter place.
