[edit] International Relations

Just found this on the Newcastle falcons page, if true then presumably we are no longer the only club to have toured Japan.

In August 2005 Falcons toured Japan pre-season. They beat NEC Green Rockets easily but lost to a fired-up Toyota Verblitz. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.111.219.218 (talk) 03:30, 23 January 2008 (UTC)


[edit] That Song!

I've not heard it being sung either - but I have heard people talking about it second hand, so I guess I whoever added it must have had some basis for putting it on!

[edit] Recentism

I've tagged the history section as such because it's very lopsided. The 12 years of the professional era are given vastly greater coverage than the club's first 100 years, which only cover a handful of paragraphs. Dancarney (talk) 08:16, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Largely because it is a lot easier to find recent history than stuff that happened decades ago on the net.GordyB (talk) 09:40, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
It's amazing the attention what a win in the H-Cup brings :) , Can i suggest that the professional era section should be spun of into History of Saracens F.C. by season and then give an overview in the professional era of 95 to current Gnevin (talk) 20:43, 6 April 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Origin Of Name

It's my understanding that "Saracens" is an old term for believers of Islam. A quick search reveals that the word stems from the word "easterners." Does anyone know the origins of the name? Ain (talk) 21:15, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
