Crikey what a match that was! I’m sure nobody will say we were left short of entertainment today. Running out to the rapturous cheers of a good 2-3k ish fans at StoneX, I’m sure there was no doubt in the mind of the wolfpack what was expected of them today. Eliminating an old rival (Exeter Chiefs) from the playoffs and making it to the final, but this is always easier said than done. It took a mammoth effort to get the job done, but we did it, and that’s the main thing. I wandered down from where I’d parked on a residential road just opposite the main entrance to Champions Way to the stadium. A bonus was that this wasn’t classed as an event day by Barnet Council, so parking was free, and I scanned in and immediately headed to cheer the women onto the field, ready and raring to go. From there, to the shop for a few bargains and the Olympic Bar for rogan josh and chips. Disappointing to see a reduced offering of food for today's game. The burger van looked good, but at a tenner for a burger, prices were not appealing. Same for the ice cream van. £5 for a 99 whippy with a flake. Extortionate. I stuck to my curry and chips, and very tasty and filling it was too. Watching both teams warm up, there seemed to be an air of excitement and yet tension, neither team looking totally settled and rather more uncharacteristic handling errors from backs and forwards alike in the Sarries camp.
