Northampton Saints will welcome East-Midlands rivals Leicester Tigers to Twickenham in round six of the Gallagher Premiership in aid of former Saint Rob Horne. 

The Australian international centre was tragically forced to retire from rugby at the end of last season after sustaining a career-ending injury playing in Saints’ victory over Tigers at Welford Road.

But Horne will now be honoured on Saturday 6 October (kick-off 3pm) as two giants of English rugby resume their intense on-field rivalry and lock horns again in the Gallagher Premiership. This will be the first time the two rivals have met at Twickenham since the 2013 Premiership Final.

GETTING THERE
There are a number of ways to get to Twickenham Stadium. Northampton Saints have arranged for coaches to take supporters from Franklin’s Gardens direct to Twickenham Stadium but please note that spaces on these coaches have now sold out.

BY COACH
If you have pre-booked coach travel to Twickenham through the Club, you should have received a ticket detailing this. If you have not received your coach ticket by 5pm on Friday 5 October, please get in touch with the Ticket Office (by emailing [email protected]). You must bring this ticket with you in order to board the coach – no ticket, no travel. 

For those with coach travel, Car Park D (off Edgar Mobbs Way, NN5 5BG) will be open from 9am for supporters driving to the coach pick-up point to use free of charge during the day of the game. Please bear in mind that if you leave your car in Car Park D overnight, you will not be able to collect your car until Monday 8 October due to the car park being locked shortly after the last coach has returned to Franklin’s Gardens. 

Coaches will depart from Car Park C from 10am, with the last coach departing at 11.30am. Please remember the number of the coach you board as this will be the coach you use to return to Franklin’s Gardens. Stewards will be on hand to help with boarding at Franklin’s Gardens. 

Toilets will be open in the Village prior to departure. A food van will be open in the car park as well. And the Saints Store will be open from 9am, with a mobile unit open in Car Park C for those last-minute purchases!

Coaches will depart from Twickenham 45 minutes after the final whistle (approximately 5.30pm). Please be aware there will be no stewards on hand to re-load coaches at Twickenham so be sure to note down the number of your coach and designated pick-up point for easy boarding at that end.

Please note that coach spaces have now sold out. If you have not booked a space on a club-organised coach, please make your own arrangements to Twickenham Stadium by either train or car with pre-booked parking.

SEASON TICKET HOLDERS DRINKS VOUCHER

SAINTS STORE ON TOUR
Official Saints merchandise will be available from the main Rugby Store at Twickenham and from four additional concessions around the ground. Supporters will be able to purchase fan radios, flags, foam hands, replica shirts, hoodies and a selection of souvenirs from all locations.

Please bear in mind that Official Saints merchandise will only be available from these locations on the day and the Club encourages supporters not to purchase counterfeit items from street sellers as these will be unofficial products and will not benefit the club or Rob.

The mobile van, that will be located outside the Marriot Hotel and the main store, will open from 9.30am until 7pm. With the three rapid units, located on the inner concourse and close to the Lion Gate, open from 12noon to 7pm in line with the stadium opening.

REF LINK
The Ref Link system will be in operation on Saturday, with all radios bought previously working at Twickenham Stadium. 

Supporters will be able to purchase Ref Link radios from the Saints Store outlets around the stadium. 

WEATHER
The weather is set to be cold, wet and windy on Saturday, but don't let that put you off being a part of this momentous occasion - be sure to wrap up warm if you're heading to Twickenham!

MATCHDAY VILLAGE
Just like a game at Franklin's Gardens, there's plenty going on in the Matchday Village at Twickenham Stadium. Saints' Partners will be out in force, with Kubota diggers, an AutoWindscreens rodeo rugby ball and Toolstation tool challenges on site on Saturday. 

And with face painting and a passing challenge also on offer, be sure to head there before the game to see what's going on.

DONATING TO ROB HORNE
Northampton Saints have been raising funds for Rob Horne since this special match was announced in August, with the aim of raising as much as possible to go towards his family and his ongoing rehabilitation.

The Club donated £5 on behalf of every season ticket holder to get the ball rolling, and thousands of pounds have since been raised with supporters also contributing during match ticket purchases and the Club’s elite partner Carlsberg making a substantial donation. 

On top of this, all profits from our limited edition ‘RH13’ t-shirt (which sold out in remarkable time) and the Club's profits from every matchday programme sold at Twickenham will go into the pot.

BUCKET SHAKE
Bucket shakes for Rob will also be in action all day at Twickenham, but if you are unable to make it or would prefer to make an online contribution, pleas visit www.robhornederby.co.uk and follow the instructions.

AUCTION
Saints have launched an auction of unique and exciting prizes to raise money for former Saint Rob Horne. 

One of several ways in which Saints are raising money will be a week-long* silent auction, with all proceeds going directly to Rob.

A host of amazing prizes have kindly been donated by the Club, the RPA, some of Rob’s friends in Australia, and Saints players themselves – with these in particular being ‘money can’t buy’ experiences.

Ranging from a three-course dinner for eight with England duo Dylan Hartley and James Haskell, a painting by Lewis Ludlam and a group training session with nine Saints players, there are also plenty of non-rugby prizes to bid for too.

Visit www.robhornederby.co.uk to see the full list of prizes and to place your bid. 

RAFFLE
Supporters can also purchase a raffle ticket through the auction website for just £5. All proceeds will go directly to Rob and all tickets purchased will go into a draw for the chance to win Lunch with the Saints Squad and the chance to watch Captain's Run before a game this season.

Simply visit www.robhornederby.co.uk to enter the raffle.

*Everybody who has already donated through www.robhornederby.co.uk will be automatically entered into the draw.

ECOCUPS
There will be several EcoCup bins around the stadium, in which supporters can leave their used EcoCups after the game. By doing this, the £1 that would normally be refunded on the return of the cup will instead be donated to Rob Horne.
