SSA Programme Notes
Welcome to StoneX Stadium for our first PREM home game of the season.
As we celebrate 150 years of Saracens it’s Retro Week, with the team wearing the special 150th Anniversary Kit for the first time. Fans have been asked to dig out their retro shirts – how many kits from across the years will you spot; what’s your favourite?
Sale Sharks are today’s opposition, and we extend a warm welcome to their players, coaching team (led by the familiar figure of Alex Sanderson) and of course supporters of Sale Sharks. We hope you had a good journey down from Manchester
SSA UPDATE

SSA Permanent Home
The SSA is delighted to have secured space for a permanent home in #TheOasis at StoneXStadium and very grateful for the support of our members who have made this possible. Our new base is due to be delivered in early October, and we are busy planning décor and furnishings and working out how display memorabilia.

ABOUT THE SSA…
Independent of the club, the SSA is recognised by Saracens as its official supporter association.
We aim to be an active, respected, and integrated member of the Saracens family and to maintain traditional values of friendship and camaraderie amongst rugby supporters.
COME AND SEE US…
Whether you’re a Sale supporter or a fellow Saracens fan do come and say ‘hello’ to the Saracens Supporters Association. We can be found at #The Oasis between the North & East Stands
We will be at there until 30 minutes before kick-off before heading off to charge our glasses, meet up with friends and get to our seats or favourite standing spot ready to cheer on the players as they run out.
