The news this weekend that Saracens have been regulated has come as a major shock to fans and local businesses.
Saracens have been fantastic in our community. Supporting the area. The fans have helped keep many businesses afloat during the recession.
The clubs achievements have been inspiring as well.
This site and local traders stand with the club in their hour of need. We think that they have been naive in their trust in rugby authorities and have suffered the backlash.
However, rules when applied have to be lived with. Relegation will provide opportunities for the club to rebuild which it would not otherwise have had. To prune and cone back stronger. This has happened to Manchester City and Wolves in football. So it can be a good and humbling time.
We hope fans will continue to attend. The prices may well be more attractive as well. This should mean that the Broadway, the local shops. Pubs. Restaurants and Rugby clubs stay busy. The new clubs to play will be very welcome in Mill Hill and we hope they will come and sample our shops. Pubs and restaurants next season.
So this is not the end. It is a new beginning.
The new West Stand should be built ready for our hopeful return in the Autumn of 2021. The clubs youth will be ready as well to give their best next season and as the club starts again to try to qualify for Europe and win trophies again.
Together we can do this. It has been good to see all local sites back Saracens today. A show of unity. Our small area needs this club and has been a major beneficiary of its success. Keep the faith.
