It's great to hear that a number of London Irish supporters are gearing up for this Saturday’s Aviva Premiership trip to Saracens (kick-off 3pm).
Thank you for your tremendous support and we look forward to seeing you at the game this weekend.
Ahead of the game, here's some handy information for those of you making the trip to Allianz Park.
Before and after the game
There are no pubs in the immediate vicinity of the ground, but there is Hendon Rugby Club who are opening their clubhouse to serve food and drink to visitors. Our friends The Bible Code Sundays will also be playing at the club from 5pm to 7pm on Saturday.
Alternatively, Mill Hill RFC offers a friendly welcome to travelling supporters arriving via the Champions Way entrance to Allianz Park.
Also, the Adam and Eve near to Mill Hill East station offer a match day package of food, drink and transport for those who book in advance.
In the Ground
There is a wide selection of good street food available in the ground, including pizzas (wood-fired no less), hog roasts, fish and chips, burgers and Indian food.
In the ground they serve up real ales, cider and craft lagers. There is a large public bar in the East Stand that can cater for 1,000 thirsty supporters, and several smaller bars dotted around the ground. On top of that, there is a player-owned 'Wolfpack' bus that will also serve up beverages.
Tickets
Saracens have recommended that if London Irish supporters would like to sit near to each other, the best area will be in the South Stand for Red & Black, the West for Silver and West Upper for Gold.

Travel to the stadium
By Car
On-street parking in the residential areas around Allianz Park is extremely limited, and there are official car parks that can be booked in advance via the club. If possible, your best bet is to use public transport or park at Mill Hill Broadway or East Finchley stations and take the train for the rest of your journey.
By Train
There are a few options to consider when taking the train to Allianz Park. If you are travelling from London, Transport for London's journey planner is an essential aid. Bear in mind to leave plenty of time for getting to/from central London, as there can be queues and delays getting onto the shuttle buses.
Mill Hill Broadway
Mill Hill Broadway Station is around 2 miles from Allianz Park, from where you can walk or take the 221 bus to the ground (alighting at Pursely Street). There are also shuttle buses running on match days from the station to the ground. The station is on the mainline rail network, and is served by trains operated by First Capital Connect.
