Just a little reminder.... The next three Northampton Saints games are being played on Sunday starting with this week's fixture against Bristol Rugby - KO 3pm - at the Memorial Stadium.
Saints then play Border Reivers in the Heineken Cup on January 14 - KO 2pm - before returning to Franklin's Gardens to play Biarritz in the final pool game of this season's competition on January 21, KO 3pm (This game is being shown live on Sky Sports).
In order to help supporters make the trip to the Borders game at Netherdale Stadium in Galashiels, the club is running both overnight and day trips. The day trip is will leave from the stadium at 6am and return immediately after the match to get supporters home by midnight at the latest. A combination coach and match ticket (seats in the unreserved grandstand) is being subsidised to £30 per adult and £20 for under 16s and these can be booked now through the ticket office on 01604 581000.
The overnight trip will be more leisurely and will leave from the club on Saturday at 10am. A carvery lunch is included in the price as well as bed and breakfast in either an AA two-star or AA three-star star character hotel on a double or twin-share basis just a 10 to 15 minute drive away from the ground. This trip will also leave immediately after the game to ensure supporters are back in Northampton by midnight or earlier. The cost of these packages, again inclusive of match seat ticket, is £95 for the two-star and £110 for the three-star.
Bookings for these packages should be made with Sue Hewitt (suehewitt@northamptonsaints.co.uk) as soon as possible.
