Hi all,

Unfortunately a complete lack of concentration has lead me to purchasing tickets for the Saints vs Black Lions match (18th Sept) rather than the Red Bulls game.

I am looking to get rid of these tickets, not fussed about getting full value. Platinum tickets, Block 4, Row D.

I am not some scummy reseller, just an idiot who wants to go to the right game 😂

If anyone has got any ideas of best place to sell or if anyone is interested, please let me know.

I’ve been looking at flights and UK to Montpellier seems to be a seasonal route. There’s a flight out on the Friday from Gatwick and a return on Sunday, but it’s over £400. I assume there will be an opportunity to buy seats on the team charter but they weren’t cheap for the Bordeaux game.

I’m now thinking of flying to Lyon and getting the train down which takes around 1 and a half hours. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Any thoughts?

My options would be:

Dingwall

Chick

Coles

Not sure who is guaranteed to start, but you'd also want to be skipper

Amid low level nonsense around Pollock contract renewal thought this would be a good chance to do some myth busting before more rubbish can gain traction.

Hearn LEGALLY CAN NOT be involved in Pollocks contract renewal with Saints. He doesnt have a rugby agent license. He won't be getting a slice or agent fee for the contract renewal.

Their partnership is purely commercial and promotional. Eg what Hearn can earn from is stuff away from Rugby.

Matt Hart @ Stellar Group is his actual rugby agent.

I expect the negotiations to rumble on for a few months.

I dont think hes a risk to leave. In both revent interviews Headn made it really clear he wants to stay at Saints and continue winning.

Id expect loads more clickbait article to come until he renews. Id recommend ignoring them. If not look closely for the source and for direct quotes. Its very easy to paint a narrative and manipulate a story with a shadowy unnamed snd secret insider.

I'm really looking forward to this game this year. I live in Bristol and have been to the last few and watch us get blown away as we have no internationals. With full squads this should be a great game in a great stadium. If anyone needs any recommendations or help with Bristol do let me know! It's easy to get the shuttle bus from the station to the stadium and there are some good pubs and great food in Bristol.
