Saracens are 50% owned by a wealthy SA businessman (who was linked with buying Newcastle a while ago) and are on a mission to try and grow their fan base through targetting Expat Saffers amoungst others (which is why the Saracens team had a SA flavour to it), they have quite a ambitious plan to double average home gates (currently around 8,000) and sell out wembley 4 times times a year within the next few seasons. They also came out and said they hope to win silverware this year, which was widely ridiculed by Saracens supporters but at the moment they have 100% record in the league and have had two crowds of over 45k at wembley already this season with two more games at Wembley to come.
Whether this PR helps increase the chances of the plan happening is a mute point, but for a club that has massively underachieved over the years in a sport that plays second fiddle to the roundball game it surely can't hinder the chances of sticking a few more on the gate for the next Wembley game.
Yeah but since when do insurance companies play fair!
I was charged £25k for insurance on a competition where a winner could win £100,000 had the chance to kick a ball through a hoop at a target floating 20cm above the water in a wave pool where the hoop was barely bigger than the ball and was placed 40 metres away. There were still 100 clauses about no professionals, and even then the insurance company wanted to change the rules at the last minute. Obviously nobody got near winning!

More like 1k.
3 random people from the crowd, 1 kick each from 30 metres, to hit a bar that is 15 cms thick. Odds of that are probably more like 5,000 to 1
