Saracens’ chief executive claims rumours an announcement on their Vicarage Road future will be made at Wembley next Saturday is “a load of rubbish”.

There have been rumours circulating which claimed Sarries would announce where they will be playing their rugby in the future at half time during their Heineken Cup match with Leinster on October 16.

Watford set Sarries a deadline of September 3 to decide whether they will be leaving Vicarage Road next summer but the rugby club’s chief executive Edward Griffiths insists a decision still hasn’t been made and suggestions of a Wembley announcement are false.

“There is no truth in that rumour at all, it’s a load of rubbish,” Griffiths stated.

“I met [Watford’s chief executive] Julian Winter again and we had another very good meeting. We are in constant communication with them and the discussions will continue. Unfortunately it’s not a slow process but we are determined to make the right decision and not the quick decision.”

Saracens will stop playing at Vicarage Road next summer unless a new lease is agreed with Watford, after the Hornets activated a break clause in the two clubs’ agreement in May.

The rugby club only pay Watford £489,000 a year to play at Vicarage Road and the football club have stated on a number of occasions in the last 18 months that the sum needs to increase.

Had the Hornets not activated the break clause then Saracens could have remained at Vicarage Road until 2017 paying the same amount.

Watford have made two separate proposals to the Men in Black’s board and the development of the East Stand and South West corner have been part of discussions.

Winter admitted at the beginning of September he was “disappointed” Saracens did not inform the club if they were staying at Vicarage Road by the deadline. But as of yesterday [Friday], there is no update from Watford as to their position.

In September, Griffiths said: “The decision as to where Saracens play is crucial, it could hardly be more important to the future of the club.”
