Allianz Park in pictures: Saracens open up at new home
Saracens played at Allianz Park for the very first time yesterday as they beat Cardiff Blues 19-11 in the LV=Cup.
The game was a 'test event' - with only a limited number of tickets available - before the official opening on February 16 when the Men in Black host Exeter Chiefs in the league.

Anyone that is interested can no doubt get this information from the Barnet press or other websites.

Pretty obvious that Watford Observer and Barnet Times Series are sharing their articles so please chill out.
With that covered, I do hope RedRenault is keeping a very close, passive-aggressive, eye on things! ;)

As for RedRenault, he's probably still clearing up the debris from an afternoon fighting off all the people trying to park in his living room.

I can understand the Watford supporters being bitter, after all we've got an East Stand! As for RedRenault, he's probably still clearing up the debris from an afternoon fighting off all the people trying to park in his living room.
I'll stick to a three-sided ground thanks. At least it has supporters inside, something this dump will not.
Good riddance egg chasers...

Looks like we're heading for sold out for the rest of the season, and not paying WFC £50,000 each game for the use of their disintegrating bombsite. Happy days!
Never mind WFC, I daresay Steve Palmer will put his hand in his pocket to make up the shortfall. I do feel sorry for the people who run the chippy on Vicarage Road though, it was always busy on a match day.
Enjoy your new east stand Steve. Don't hold your breath though.
