Saracens will play Ulster in the Heineken Cup quarter-final at Twickenham on Saturday 6 April, 2013, KO 18h30.
Nigel Wray, club chairman, said: “We look forward to playing this important match at the home of English rugby, a ground that many of our players know extremely well. It is absolutely clear that people want to see big teams playing big matches at big stadiums, and that is precisely what we will deliver at Twickenham.”
Wray continued: “We did consider the option of playing this showpiece match at Allianz Park, our brand new home stadium in NW4, but, in consultation with local residents and our partners at the London Borough of Barnet, we have decided to settle at the new venue before applying to stage a one-off event with a larger capacity.”
Preferential booking for Saracens season-ticket holders will run from February 4-16, and tickets will go on general sale on February 18.

Nice one Mike...the fact that Leinster and Munster are in town that weekend made this choice a bit easier.

That's excellent news (said the man who lives a mile from Twickenham stadium)
Re: It's Twickenham
In a way slightly takes away Saracens home advantage, hopefully they'll get the Heineken Village up again!
How many realistically (saracens, ulster, maybe a few munster/leinster fans) will attend?
EDIT: just read that they expect 35,000-45,000

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

Re: It's Twickenham
With apologies to any readers with the same job, is Nigel Wray a 2nd hand car salesman? What a load of old toss when maybe all he needed to say was that Barnet council suggested he was trying to put the cart before the horse?
