    Saints announce pre-season schedule

    EDIT: Just thought this might be of a bit of an interest prior to the Western Force tour, and I must say that is a lovely RECTANGULAR stadium to play in



    The club will play six matches in the run up to the Guinness Premiership as well as sending a squad to the Middlesex Sevens.
    The squad heads to France for a training camp in mid-August, the culmination of which is a game against Top 14 finalists Clermont Auvergne in Vichy on Saturday, August 16.

    A Saints XV will then travel to Nottingham on Friday, August 22, a day before the Western Force visit Franklin's Gardens on August 23. The Wanderers face a Western Force Development XV on Wednesday, August 27, again at the Gardens, before a Saints XV visits the Arms Park on Friday, August 29th to play Magners League outfit Cardiff Blues.

    Did you live in Nottingham Prop53? Did you ever go to the near by town of Worksop- cultural capital of England?

    I'm really glad the big game is on the 23rd. I'm gonna start trying to book some tickets and transport etc.

    yes James i lived in Nottingham played for Nottingham in the early seventy's for six seasons. Worked in the coal mines in Nottingham that's how we were first picked from the local pit teams. It was your size and ability working in the mines that gave you a head start in the upper body strength department.
