Saracens have confirmed that their Guinness Premiership match against Northampton Saints on September 12 will be held at Wembley Stadium.

The London club have made the unprecedented move in the hope of providing an end of summer attraction for their supporters.

Saracens chairman Nigel Wray said: "It must be several decades since a family of four was able to book a big day out at Wembley for just £30.

"I've been fortunate enough to go to the new Wembley on a number of occasions and it really is a fantastic experience.

"Getting tickets for Wembley events can be difficult enough but now we're giving fans the chance to watch a great game of rugby, enjoy some great entertainment and experience the stadium at a fantastic price."

A club spokesman added: "The rugby is the main event but we are also planning top class entertainment. Details will be announced shortly, but we may well prove Britain's got talent."

The current world record attendance at a club rugby union match is just over 80,000 for last season's Heineken Cup semi-final at Croke Park, in Dublin.
