[QUOTE="Teh Mite, post: 317543, member: 12332"] [B]Saracens could be nearing a ground-sharing split with English soccer club Watford which is likely to come into effect as soon as June 2011.[/B] The sporting duo, who have occupied Vicarage Road on a marriage relationship since 1997, are over halfway through a deal that runs until 2017. But according to [I]BBC Sport[/I], Saturday's Guinness Premiership finalists are to be handed a chance to leave their long-time Watford home after being offered a 'break clause' by the Hornets, allowing them to move closer to London. "The football club has also agreed to a three-month period of extended negotiation to enable Saracens time to decide upon their preferred future home, one of which could still be Vicarage Road," said Watford Chief Executive Julian Winters. A club statement added: "Watford Football Club remains hopeful that both parties can negotiate a new lease which sees Saracens become a partner in the improvement of the Vicarage Road facilities and pitch." Saracens have played three Guinness Premiership and also a game against the Springboks at Wembley Stadium in 2009/10, with a move further south likely to attract greater support from South African expats. Fulham's Craven Cottage was one venue rumoured to be a possible new home for the 'Men in Black' back in 2009. [url]http://www.planetrugby.com/story/0,25883,3551_6174465,00.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
