Lads what's the chances of someone organising a day trip? I'm just back from Paris the Monday before and I'll be skint.

I'd hate to miss it.

An organised day trip by air will be expensive, boat might be okay though

You'd be surprised actually... Depends on how much the organiser wants to rip the rear out of it. I suspect most will want that to be the maximum possible rear ripping though.

After doing the journey to Twickers by boat/coach for the final in a oner last year... It wouldn't be something I'd be in any hurry to repeat.

You've got to get your first tackle in early, even if it's late.

Some Irish invasion it'll be in April - Saracens v Ulster, Quins v Munster and Wasps v Leinster (ACC) all within two days of each other :lol:

Flights are not that cheap and charter costs are higher

No, but it's not as expensive as you would be led to believe by what is normally charged for charters by agents.

If it cuts out a transfer or two for you, it can almost be worth it.

True but the cheapest for Damien will probably be the bus if there is any

Yes, but at that point they weren't sure if they had a home QF or not. Realistically, it or Wembley are the only two viable grounds they could choose. And what do you mean by a "max capacity of 10k"?

Vicarage rd has over 17,000 capacity, unless a stand is closed for refurb but I think that was a few years ago. I think your confusing that 10,000 capacity with their new Allianz stadium. Hopefully well not play there as its an artificial pitch!

Saracens won't be playing back at Vicarage road though. It'll probably be at Wembley.

Yup probably Wembley. It'll be a right pain to get to(cheaply).
