Irish at the Stoop???

Just seen a story that Irish are in talks with Quins and Sarries
to ground share when the season resumes, as the new Brentford
ground is not yet ready. Could be a handy few pennies in the
pot!!

I think the fact that there's talk of playing multiple games a
week to try & get the season completed means that Reading don't
want to risk the damage to the turf at the Madejski given
they're also playing. Makes sense that they (LI) would want to
play at a ground that's used to Rugby, but I would suggest that
Sarries are the better option, given the artificial surface.

It is a few games. It is, I expect, decent money for Quins. I’m
sure the pitch can take it.

With no crowds allowed what would be wrong with Hazelwood?

crowds or no crowds it would be an extra home game for us.

Not geared up for TV coverage perhaps?

I hope and pray they play at Sarries. The last time they ground
shared with us was not at all pleasant.

If no or limited spectators are expected to attend they could
use the Army stadium in Aldershot.
It not so far from Reading, has a decent pitch a stand, all the
normal facilities, plenty of parking and will easily accommodate
TV requirements. I am sure the Army Sports Board would
appreciate the additional cash as well.

Seems like a good move for all involved
If true, good work Quins!
