Quote: MarginMeter "Ok, wasn't aware of the planning issue, and it's too late anyway, but if you could have your time again and go back 10-15 years I do think that there was scope for a London RL team to be developed in tandem with Saracens. Anyway, I wish you the best of luck, I would love London to survive and those of you who have maintained your support are heroes'"
Thanks for the good wishes. I don't see any reason why we'd regret not joining up with Saracens when we had such a 'joyous' link up with Quins in the meantime! In truth I think staying away from Union is the one thing we've learned from all this. 10 to 15 years ago Saracens were in no position to even think about owning their own ground. They were exiled in Watford as very minor tenants of Watford FC. RU wasn't the dominant beast is has since become hence why so many clubs left the city borders. I would imagine that had we have linked up with them then we'd have been swiftly brushed aside once RU's rise too hold.
What it might have done though is steered Saracens away from Barnet (a borough they have no historical link with) and forced the vilest council on the planet to pay some attention to finding a home for the loyal 120+ year old Football Club. And so, for that perhaps, I have some regret.
