As you may already be aware, we are delighted to confirm that the School’s 1st XV has reached the final of the National Vase competition, which will be played against Mount St Mary’s College next Wednesday (2pm KO) at Twickenham Stadium. We would also like to open up the event to all Old Suttonians to come to Twickenham to cheer on the School. We have made the decision to invite the entire School to attend as well, so there should be considerable SVS support.

Stadium Access Only

The final is a non-ticketed event, so there is no need to register or purchase tickets in advance of the day. Seating will be in the lower section of the West Stand, which is accessible via Gates A and D.  As it is non-ticketed, seating in the stadium is unallocated, so is available on a first come-first served basis, with turnstiles opening at 10.30am.

Lunch and Executive Box

With little time in between the semi-final and the final, our plans for the day have been somewhat hastily convened, however we have managed to arrange a pre-match reception for Old Suttonians, parents and past parents in an executive box in the West Stand.  Those attending will receive a buffet lunch from midday until 2pm, and then the option to watch the match from the box’s balcony, or alternatively to join the main SVS contingent in the stand.

Tickets for the lunch are available on a pre-booking basis at a charge of £30.00 per person. As the box is within an accreditation-required area of the stadium, we are required to provide a list of attendees ahead of the event, so all bookings need to be made before Monday 14th March, please.

Parking

Please note that we are unable to offer transport from the School to Twickenham. As such, if you are driving to Twickenham on the day and would like to park at the stadium, you are required to pre-book parking via https://www.eticketing.co.uk/rfu/EDP/Event/Index/2873.
